Women’s T20 WC: Australia Look To Maintain Momentum Against In-form Bangladesh (Preview)
Sharmin Akter Supta: Australia head into their second Group 1 fixture against Bangladesh with confidence high after dismantling South Africa by 65 runs in their tournament opener. The comprehensive victory, coupled with a superior net run rate, has placed them at the top of the standings ahead of India.
Having opted for a four-pronged spin attack at spin-friendly Old Trafford, Australia could tweak their combination at Headingley. Conditions in Leeds are expected to offer greater assistance to the seamers, making veteran quick Megan Schutt a strong contender for a return to the XI.
Bangladesh also began their campaign on a winning note, defeating the Netherlands by six wickets in Birmingham. While the margin suggested a close finish, the chase was rarely under threat as Juairiya Ferdous marked her first World Cup appearance with a half-century before Sharmin Akter Supta calmly guided the side home.
