Bangladesh Women vs Australia, BD-W vs AUS-W 2024, Today Match Prediction 21 March 2024

BANW vs AUSW Match Prediction & Analysis

Bangladesh Women will face a massive challenge as they take on Australia Women in the 1st ODI of the three-match series. They lost the last ODI series against South Africa Women and have had a poor record against the stronger sides. Australia has enjoyed a good run in the last two years, and they will look to build on this momentum and start the series with a win.  

Bangladesh Women have never defeated Australia Women in the past. It will be on the backs of the minds of their players, and they must play positive cricket for the side to have a chance in this game. Australian Women have been on a roll in the last couple of years. They have a strong batting lineup and will look to make it count in this game.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Bangladesh Women Preview

Nigar Sultana and her players face a big challenge in this game. They are up against the best team in the world, against whom they have never won a game in the past. The side must put the upsets of the past behind them, play with a positive mind, and take advantage of the home conditions.  

Murshida Khatun and Disha Biswas will be up against a good bowling attack and must deliver a solid start. Fargana Hoque and Sultana are the most experienced batters on the side, and they must do well in the middle order with Ritu Moni. The side will need contributions from Nahida Akter, Fahima Khatun, and Sobhana Mostary in this game.  

Marufa Akter and Nahida Akter must pick early wickets, as the Australians have firepower at the top. Sultana Khatun and Rabeya Khan must keep the visitors under pressure in the middle overs. Ritu Moni and Sobhana Mostary shall have to play important roles in the ing act.

Bangladesh Women Predicted Playing XI:

Nigar Sultana (c & wk), Fahima Khatun, Sobhana Mostary, Fargana Hoque, Ritu Moni, Nahida Akter, Sultana Khatun, Murshida Khatun, Ritu Moni, Disha Biswas, Marufa Akter

Australia Preview

Alyssa Healy's side has been in good form in the last two years. The side has lost only three games during this period and has demoralized opponents regularly with their strong performances. Healy will expect her players to play aggressively in this game and take an early lead in the series.  

Healy and Phobe Litchfield have done well as a pair, and the side expects a strong start. They have a strong middle order, and the side will need runs from Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, and Tahlia McGrath. The side has depth in the lineup and shall expect runs from Ashleigh Gardner, Annabel Sutherland, and Georgia Wareham.  

Megal Schutt and Kim Garth will look to trouble the Bangladeshi batters and put them on the back foot. Alana King and Sutherland come into this game with high confidence and a string of good performances. Gardner and Wareham add variety to this attack, and they will mount a challenge.

Australia Predicted Playing XI:

Alyssa Healy (c & wk), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Tahlia McGrath, Ashleigh Gardner, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham, Alana King, Kim Garth, Megan Schutt

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Dhaka would be clear. The conditions would be warm and humid at the start of the game. The ball comes onto the bat nicely at the start of the game, allowing batters to play their strokes freely. Spinners do well here, and any score over 250 runs would be a good one on this surface for the side batting first.  

BANW vs AUSW Pitch Report

Shere Bangla National Stadium has a good batting surface, and we have seen batters succeed. The fast outfield offers plenty of scoring opportunities. Fast bowlers need to use their variations to succeed, but spinners do here, as there is plenty of assistance from the track.

Toss: To Bowl

The wicket has something in there for the fast bowlers, as we had seen in the past where the new ball does a bit. Bowling in the second innings is never easy for the bowlers. We expect the side winning the toss to have no hesitation in bowling first.
