Toss Australia chose to bowl vs Bangladesh
Both teams went in unchanged in bright and sunny Brisbane.
Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana had no issues in batting first, and reckoned that is what she would have done anyway. “We wanted to bat because we really wanted to test ourselves in the middle as a batting unit,” she said at the toss. “We talked yesterday about what we could have done better in the first game, so we really wanted to reflect on that.
“I guess we really have to be very intense during our batting, and definitely we don’t want to lose early wickets in the powerplay.”
Australia lead the three-match series 1-0 and a win here will give them an unassailable lead.
Bangladesh: 1 Sobhana Mostary, 2 Sharmin Akhter, 3 Nigar Sultana (capt & wk), 4 Ritu Moni, 5 Fargana Hoque, 6 Shorna Akter, 7 Sarmin Sultana, 8 Nahida Akter, 9 Rabeya Khan, 10 Marufa Akter, 11 Habiba Islam
