Australia Women vs Bangladesh Women Team Preview & Squads
Australia Women
Alyssa Healy’s leadership blends tactical acumen with fearless aggression, reflecting her dual role as captain and wicketkeeper. She leads from the front with her attacking stroke play and sharp glovework behind the stumps.
From Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney at the top to Ellyse Perry and Annabel Sutherland in the middle, Australia’s batting depth is a luxury most teams envy. Phoebe Litchfield’s rising consistency adds stability, while Tahlia McGrath’s versatility anchors chases and power-hitting phases alike.
With Megan Schutt’s swing, Darcie Brown’s pace, and the spin trio of Gardner, King, and Wareham, the Australian bowling unit covers all bases. Their mix of control and aggression allows them to attack from both ends. Even the all-rounders, like Perry and Sutherland, chip in with crucial breakthroughs when required.
In their previous outing against India Women (13th Match, Oct 12, 2025), AUS produced a memorable chase. India piled up 330 runs, but Australia hunted it down with 3 wickets and 6 balls to spare, showcasing their elite temperament under pressure. Beth Mooney and Ellyse Perry starred with composed knocks, ensuring the Aussies maintained their winning momentum.

Bangladesh Women
Nigar Sultana continues to lead BAN with grit and growing tactical awareness. As both skipper and wicketkeeper, she holds the batting lineup together through calmness under pressure.
BAN batting revolves around Fargana Hoque and Nigar Sultana, who provide both experience and composure. Sobhana Mostary and Shorna Akter have shown flashes of potential but need greater consistency.
The spin department, led by Nahida Akter and Fahima Khatun, remains Bangladesh’s biggest weapon on slower surfaces. Marufa Akter’s pace adds variety, while Ritu Moni brings all-around balance.
In their last encounter against South Africa Women (14th Match, Oct 13, 2025), Bangladesh posted a competitive 232/6 but failed to defend it. Despite tight spells from Nahida and Marufa, South Africa chased the target in 49.3 overs with 5 wickets in hand. Nigar Sultana top-scored with a fighting knock, but Bangladesh once again missed key moments.

AUS-W vs BAN-W Outfield Report
Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam
The Visakhapatnam surface has offered true bounce and value for stroke play throughout the tournament. Batters who apply themselves early can reap big rewards, though spinners tend to enjoy some grip later in the day. Expect another batting-friendly track with moderate turn in the second innings.
The forecast predicts clear skies with minimal humidity and a maximum temperature of around 31°C. Dew could play a role in the evening, making bowling slightly tricky. Overall, conditions should favor an uninterrupted, high-scoring contest.
Visakhapatnam has consistently produced first-innings scores between 260 and 320 in this tournament. Chasing has been easier under lights, but early wickets can tilt the balance. A par score batting first should hover around 280, with anything below 230 likely to be unsafe.
