Bangladesh vs Australia: Bangladesh will take on Australia in the second T20I of the five-match series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur on Sunday, March 24. Australia dominated the first ODI between the two sides on a slow wicket and had a lead of 1-0 in the series. They would be looking forward to continuing the winning momentum by winning the 2nd ODI. On the other hand, Bangladesh would be hoping to make an impact in the match by giving a tough fight.
In the first ODI, Bangladesh lost Fargana Hoque in the first over of the chase. The other top order batters especially Nigar Sultana tried their best to bring life into the match but Ashleigh Gardner accounted for 3 wickets and broke the back of the chase. The hosts were eventually bowled out for 95, losing the match by a huge margin of 118 runs. Bangladesh have never beaten Australia in a cricket game. It is likely to remain the same unless Bangladesh pulls off a miracle. For that to happen, the home side needs to be at their best.
On the other hand, Australia batted first and they posted a total of 213 for 7 in 50 overs. The start wasn’t encouraging as the visitors lost both Ellyse Perry and Phoebe Litchfield early on in the innings. It was the duo of Ashleigh Gardner and Annabel Sutherland who provided some impetus into the innings. Australia has some of the best players in the world and will need to do what they usually do – dominate the opponents.
