BANW vs AUSW Match Preview

The Australian batting order was re-done for the second game of the T20I series. Georgia Wareham struck gold using this opportunity to score a maiden T20I half-century. The Aussie Women secured a series win with a solid 58-run victory over Bangladesh Women. Grace Harris opened the Australian innings with Phoebe Litchfield. Haris and Wareham collaborated to raise 91 runs from just 54 deliveries for the second wicket. Wareham brought up her fifty from just 26 balls.

Litchfield would have rued that she missed out on runs at the top of the order. She has had difficulty in international cricket since the end of last year. After the departure of Wareham, the Aussie batting lineup crumbled and lost seven wickets for 55 runs in their last 8.3 overs. A brief stand between Allyse Perry and Tahlia McGrath took the total to a good one. Although this total was accessible to a good batting unit, it was too much for the Bangladesh Women.

The left-arm Trisna from Bangladesh set up a dramatic ending to the Aussie innings with a hat-trick. She picked up the wickets of Elyssa Perry, Sophie Molineux, and Beth Mooney on consecutive balls. Bangladesh Women made a decent start to their innings, with 22 runs coming in the first two overs. However, when Megan Schutt dislodged the opening wicket stand, it was all one way, the Australian way. Gardner and Molineux picked up six wickets for 27 runs in eight overs.

Wareham followed her excellent batting display with a scalp of Dilara Akter for 27 runs. Fariha Trisna picked up her hat trick on the last three legal deliveries of the game. Nahida Akter also bowled well for Bangladesh Women, picking up two wickets for just 21 runs from her four overs. She came onto bowl as the first change after Trisna and Marufa Akter opened the bowling attack for Bangladesh. Another bowler among wickets was Fahima Khatun, who picked up two wickets for 34 runs from her four overs.

Pitch Report

We have observed many high-scoring games played at the venue this season. So, on that evidence, we can suggest another high-scoring affair where the batters will enjoy playing their shots. Short square boundaries will also be helpful for the batters, and bowlers will need to bowl a tight line and length to restrict the batters on this surface.

Although Healy did not bat in the last game in her usual position, she is scoring her runs with an average of 32.13 and a strike rate of 141.98 in her recent games.

Dream11 Prediction

The Australian Women have been the dominating force on this tour. They have won all the games played in the series and will be looking to provide Bangladesh Women with a series whitewash. We will bet with the Australian women to win this contest and take a clean slate in the series.

Top Picks

Beth Mooney: Mooney was in scintillating form in the first game of the T20I series. She has an incredible batting average of 49 in her last ten contests.

Alyssa Healy: Alyssa Healy took a bit of a backstep in the last game, not opening the innings. But she is in terrific form at the moment, and you can expect her to do well here.

Ashleigh Gardner: Gardner was one of the Aussie bowlers among the wickets in the last game. She has picked up ten wickets in her previous ten games.

Nahida Akter: Nahida Akter has picked up 16 wickets in her last 15 games with an average of 20.43.
