Pre-Match Analysis:

Bangladesh batters had no answers against Australia’s spin attack and lost all their 10 wickets for a paltry 97 runs in the 2nd ODI, their second consecutive score of less than 100 in the series. Their bowlers had so little to do as the target was too small and lost the match in the end by 6 wickets and even dropped the series. Nigar Sultana’s 27 in the 1st ODI is the team’s highest individual score which shows they failed utterly with the bat. Currently, they are not in a great situation after encountering whopping back-to-back defeats, and it will be a miracle if they claim a win in the 3rd ODI. They shouldn’t take this game lightly as ICC Women’s Championship Points are up for grabs where they sit 7th in the standings with 13 points.

Australia strengthened their pole position in the ICC Women’s Championship standings with a merciless 118 runs and 6 wickets win in the 1st and 2nd ODI respectively to take an unassailable lead of 2-0. They fielded an extra spinner in the 2nd ODI and it worked wonders as Sophie Molineux on her return to the format after 2 and half years, picked up 3 wickets at an exceptional economy of just 1. Interestingly all the wickets in the series have been claimed by their spinners. Ellyse Perry (35*) and Ashleigh Gardner (20*) guided them to a series win after early hiccups. All-rounder Ashleigh Gardner is their standout performer having scored 52 runs and picking up 5 wickets.
