In what promises to be an exhilarating encounter, Bangladesh Women are gearing up to take on their formidable counterparts, Australia Women, in the first T20I scheduled for Sunday. The three-match series opener will unfold at the iconic Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.
The upcoming clash holds significant importance for both teams, particularly for Bangladesh, who are eager to bounce back after facing a resounding defeat in the recent three-match ODI series against Australia. The visitors showcased their dominance by whitewashing the hosts with a commanding 3-0 victory.
However, Bangladesh Women are determined to turn the tide in the T20I series, showcasing their resilience and fighting spirit on their home turf. On the other hand, Australia Women, buoyed by their recent success, will be keen on maintaining their winning momentum.
