Australia Women v Bangladesh Women Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

Australia were tested in their opening match at the Women's T20 World Cup before easing to a 65-run victory over South Africa and next they face Bangladesh at Headingley on Wednesday.

The Southern Stars recovered from 2-24 and 4-62 to post 8-172 at Old Trafford before putting in a fine bowling display to dismiss the Proteas for 107, with leg-spinner Georgia Wareham leading the way by taking 3-13.

Bangladesh, meanwhile, were pushed all the way by tournament debutants the Netherlands at Edgbaston on Sunday, edging home by six wickets with just five balls to spare.

Australia Women v Bangladesh Women Prediction

Best Bet: Highest individual score Australia - Over 55.5 @ 1.83

Australia will probably have enjoyed being tested in their tournament opener against 2023 and 2024 runners-up South Africa, with the six-time champions having passed a valuable test of their mettle.

Phoebe Litchfield's even half-century off just 24 balls was the highest individual knock of the innings, with both Ellyse Perry and Wareham falling in the 30s.

Against a less talented attack on Wednesday the Aussies can be expected to press on with the bat, even if they bat second and are chasing a lowish target, so a highest individual contribution of over 55.5 looks like a sound option.

Alternative Bet: Australia opening partnership - Over 26.5 @ 1.90

As a next best option, side with the Baggy Green to put together an opening partnership in excess of 26.5 runs, as they look to make amends for their early struggles against the Proteas.

Georgia Voll departed without scoring in the first over and Beth Mooney followed for seven with 24 on the board, before Litchfield gave the innings some much-needed impetus.

Both Voll and Mooney will be eager to get among the runs and kickstart their tournaments, with the former having made a century against West Indies in her previous T20I innings.

Australia Women v Bangladesh Women Bet Builder Tip

• Beth Mooney 30+ runs

• Alana King 2+ wickets

• Beth Mooney most 4s

  Pays 13.00

The vastly experienced Mooney made scores of 40, 25, 43 and 34 in four warm-up matches for this tournament, so will have been disappointed to fall for just seven against South Africa.

She has only passed 30 in two of her last eight T20I innings, but is backed to do so here, while this Bet Builder also includes the classy left-hander to be the leading scorer of fours in the match, with Mooney having hit 339 fours in 97 T20I appearances.

Finally, with the leg-spin of Wareham having led the way against the Proteas, it is easy to overlook the fact that fellow leggie Alana King took two wickets and she is included here to take at least another two at Headingley.
