After losing their series openers at the hands of India Women’s team, Australia and Bangladesh are all set to meet each other on the field. The game will be played on February 27th at the Manuka Oval, Canberra, beginning at 1:30 PM IST.
Australia has played 2 matches as of now winning 1 of the 2. Meanwhile, Bangladesh has only played one game wherein they were made to shake hands with defeat. Australia Women will definitely be moving forward as the obvious favourites, courtesy to their reigning defenders’ image. It will be interesting to see if Bangladesh could give some fight to their opponents in the upcoming match.
