BANW vs AUSW Match Preview
Aussie fast bowler Tayla Vlaeminck returned to international cricket with a bang. She picked up a wicket on the third ball she bowled. Another Victorian bowler, Sophie Molineux, also bowled well for Australian Women. She picked up Dilara Akter's wicket on the contest's first ball. Bangladesh women owe the score of 126 runs primarily to their skipper Nigar Sultana. She scored precisely half the runs and remained unbeaten. Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney were dominant in the reply as Healy raised a fifty in just 34 balls while Mooney also scored her half-century in an even number of balls.
Nigar Sultana has been the leading batter for Bangladesh Women over the period of last year. In 14 games she played this year, she has scored 328 runs with a healthy average of 32.80. Shamima Sultana has also scored 184 runs from her last 13 innings in the last year. Sobhana Mostary has scored 166 runs in her previous 13 games. These will be the top batters for Bangladesh Women going into this game. But one thing is sure. The skipper must contribute to the Bangladeshi Women's score to escape this situation.
Last year, Nahida Akter was the leading bowler for Bangladeshi women. She has picked up 14 scalps from her previous 14 innings with an average of 21.85. Rabeya Khan has accounted for 12 victims from her last 14 games, averaging 19.91. Famima Khatun has also picked up eleven victims from her previous eleven games, averaging 17.27. These will once again be the top bowlers for Bangladeshi women in this encounter. Their first goal will be dislodging the Australian openers Beth Mooney and Alyssa Healy cheaply.
Off-break bowler Ashleigh Gardner is likely to be the top bowler for Australian Women in this game. In this format, she has stood out as their top wicket-taker in the last year. Georgia Wareham has also picked up ten victims from her previous 12 innings for Australia. Megan Schutt has also picked up nine victims from her last 12 games. These will be the go-to bowlers for Australian Women in this encounter. They will immediately seek early wickets and push the Bangladesh Women on the backfoot.
