🔗 Share this article Australia versus Bangladeshi Squad – Women's Cricket World Cup Encounter Opening Thoughts Greetings and welcome to game number 17 of the Women's World Cup of Cricket! The day's contest sees the so far unbeaten Australian side taking on the Bangladesh team, who are aiming for their second win of the World Cup. This has been a captivating World Cup – while the Australian team is undefeated in a contest, they have appeared vulnerable at times. Their offensive play versus Pakistan was below their usual standard, while in the India game they struggled to find the right responses during their bowling spell. Both times they were managed to get over the line, but rival squads will be watching closely to identify these weaknesses and formulate tactics to take advantage of them. The only victory for Bangladesh of the tournament so far came from Pakistan – a clear-cut, victory by seven wickets with key inputs from the bowling unit. However, they also produced strong displays in the South Africa match, which went down to the final over, and England, who looked in trouble at 78 for five attempting to reach Bangladesh's total of 178. Even though neither of those matches concluded with a triumph, they will have provided the squad plenty of confidence that they have the ability to compete with leading global squads. Should Bangladesh carry that current shape in this encounter, we may see another exciting finish. While Australia are the clear front-runners here, let’s not write off the supposed weaker side.
