Australia Women (AUS-W) Preview
The Australian team, led by Alyssa Healy, has continued to maintain its dominance in the World Cup. Healy’s explosive century, combined with the consistent performances of Ellyse Perry and Beth Mooney, has made their batting a formidable threat. All-rounders like Annabelle Sutherland and Ashleigh Gardner provide excellent balance in both departments.
Additionally, the bowling has been excellent; in the most recent game, Annabelle Sutherland claimed five wickets. While Alana King and Sophie Molineux will try to capitalise on the spin-friendly conditions, Megan Shutt and Kim Garth are anticipated to cause early problems for Bangladesh’s top order.
Probable XI for Australia Women:
Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Sophie Molineux, Kim Garth, Anna King, Megan Shutt, and Alyssa Healy (captain and wicketkeeper)
Key Players: Ellyse Perry, Annabelle Sutherland, and Alyssa Healy
Bangladesh Women (BAN-W) Preview
With three straight losses, the Bangladesh women’s team is having a tough World Cup. In addition to their bowling’s poor performance against formidable teams, their top order has failed to form alliances. While Shorna Akhtar’s aggressive batting will be essential in the middle overs, captains Nigar Sultana and Sharmeen Akhtar will need to solidify the innings.
Rabeya Khan and Fahima Khatun will need to keep a tight line to contain the Australian team, while Nahida Akhtar has been bowling well lately with her spin.
Probable XI for Bangladesh Women:
Fargana Haq, Sharmeen Akhtar, Rubia Haider, Shorna Akhtar, Shobhana Mustari, Nahida Akhtar, Rabeya Khan, Ritu Moni, Fahima Khatun, Marufa Akhtar, and Nigar Sultana (captain and wicketkeeper)
Key Players: Nigar Sultana, Shorna Akhtar, Nahida Akhtar
