Recent Form and Last Match Performance

Australia Women

Australia Women look like clear title favourites. In their last outing they overpowered India, hunted down a large target and never wobbled. Captain Alyssa Healy smashed 142 and looked in charge throughout, while Beth Mooney held up the other end with calm footwork. The Australian attack, led by Alana King or Kim Garth, kept a tight line but also struck at moments that tilted the game.

Bangladesh Women

Bangladesh have flashed promise but have not built a steady run. They opened with a morale lifting win over Pakistan, knocked off a small target without panic. Later outings revealed trouble against sharper attacks. Bangladesh still need steady work with bat, ball and in the field if they want to turn flashes into full performances.

Players to Watch

Australia Women

• Alyssa Healy (Captain & Wicketkeeper): She bats hard and fast and wins matches on her own.
• Beth Mooney – She stays calm plus steadies the ship after early wickets tumble.
• Alana King – Her leg spin works well on Indian pitches.
• Sophie Molineux – She offers steady runs and tidy overs.

Bangladesh Women

• Nigar Sultana – The captain must score – the rest of the batting leans on her.
• Rubya Haider – A young batter who keeps her head when pressure rises.
• Nahida Akter – The team’s main spinner, trusted to strike in the middle phase.
• Marufa Akter – A pace bowler who moves the ball and troubles good batters.

Match Outlook

Australia arrive as clear favourites – every part of their game has proven winners. Bangladesh must stay sharp but also united to stand a chance. They need early wickets and a tight powerplay to slow Australia’s bats.

Australia will treat the game as a tune up for the knockouts. Bangladesh want a shock win and a lift for the games that follow.

Conclusion

The teams meet in Visakhapatnam on 16 October at 3:00 PM IST. Led by Alyssa Healy, chase more proof of their rule. Bangladesh chase respect as well as a sign of their growth.

Australia hold every edge – yet cricket stays full of surprises. A one sided show or a scrap to the end – either way, the contest will hold the crowd.
