Bangladesh vs Australia: Bangladesh will lock horns with Australia in the third ODI of the three-match series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur on Wednesday, March 27. Australia dominated Bangladesh in the series, securing two convincing victories. Despite Bangladesh’s previous success at home, they struggle against Australia’s prowess. With series already clinched by the visitors, Bangladesh seeks a win to avoid a whitewash.
In the second ODI, Bangladesh batted first and they were bowled out for a low total of 97. The top order disappointed and lost wickets in a bunch. Fahima Khatun and Ritu Moni tried to bring some life into the game but they also got dismissed at an important juncture of the match. Nahida Akter made 22 runs and got her team to a total of 97 before they were bowled out. Bangladesh still have a lot to play for and will look to register a win in the final ODI.
On the other hand, Australia have been ruthless in both the games. The bowlers have been magnificent, bowling Bangladesh out for 95 and 97, however, they are yet to play their best cricket with the bat. During the chase in the previous game, Australia lost Phoebe Litchfield early but there was no panic as the target was too low. Alyssa Healy made 15 while Ellyse Perry scored a match-winning 35 to take visitors home with 6 wickets in hand. The Aussies will look for a whitewash.
