Bangladesh vs Australia 1st T20 Match
Australian batswomen Alysa Healy and Beth Mooney scored half-centuries to help Australia triumph against Bangladesh by an 8 wicket margin. Bangladesh bowlers could not keep pace with Australian batters slamming balls around the ground with such ease, leading them into losing this matchup by 8 wickets.
Healy and Mooney combined for an astounding run-scoring performance over 11.2 overs, giving Australia an edge. Together they set a record-breaking partnership for seventh wicket in this format.
Australia won the three-match ODI series 3-0 and now look to build on that victory when they face Bangladesh in three T20 matches, beginning at Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka.
Australia won the toss and elected to bat first. Unfortunately, Dilara Akter and Sobhana Mostary both fell early on, but Nigar Sultana and Fahima Khatun quickly established a solid partnership to post an impressive total of 126 for 4 after 20 overs.
Before their matches began, both teams made some notable alterations to their squads – Australia added Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood while Bangladesh picked Mahedi Hasan in place of Jaker Ali. Both will look to make an excellent start so as to finish strong in their tournaments.
Bangladesh vs Australia 2nd T20 Match
Australia’s batsmen struggled against Bangladesh’s bowling attack in their second T20 match of their five-match T20 series, posting only an ineffective total of 121 and being dismissed for just 62 runs in the penultimate over. Mitchell Marsh top scored with 45 runs while Moises Henriques contributed 30.
Bangladesh was off to an excellent start with their bat thanks to Soumya Sarkar’s blistering 57 not out and Mohammad Naim’s 41 runs, respectively. Afif Hossain and Nurul Hasan formed an unbroken 56-run partnership which gave their side the perfect foundation from which to win their match.
Afif was in perfect form as he helped Bangladesh take an early first innings lead against Australia. His four-ball boundary off Josh Hazlewood sealed their five-wicket triumph and ensured Bangladesh secured back-to-back T20I victories since defeating West Indies on consecutive days in August 2018. This marks Bangladesh’s first back-to-back T20I wins since beating them twice on consecutive days against West Indies last August.
Australia captain Matthew Wade believes his team did not perform to their potential during the final four overs of their batting innings, suggesting they could have scored 130-140 if their batsmen had played better at the end. Furthermore, they need to improve catching and fielding as part of a holistic gameplan.
Antigua pitch has proven one of the highest-scoring venues during this tournament, as almost any width offered by bowlers is turned into runs by batsmen. As yet, coin toss has had no significant bearing on how these matches have played out here.
Bangladesh will aim to complete their series against Australia and extend their impressive home form, remaining undefeated in T20Is with seven wins and two defeats so far. They are expected to field the same XI that won their opening match – likely including spinners Rubel Hossain and Mehidy Hasan as they look for another consecutive win in this competition. Australia on the other hand would like to make an impressionful statement ahead of the T20 World Cup by winning this match-up; they currently rank number two overall and would love nothing better than an upset victory here.

Bangladesh are on the cusp of becoming the first nation ever to win a T20 series against Australia for the first time ever in T20 format, thanks to Mustafizur Rahman’s extraordinary bowling performance and Mahmudullah and Ben McDermott’s contributions at bat.
Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur typically favors spinners while making it more difficult for batsmen to score freely, so Bangladesh-W may opt to field first and post an aggressive total on the board. Georgia Wareham is an integral component of Australia’s side in this tournament and could help her side secure victory against Bangladesh-W in this third T20 match.
Australia-W will likely make several adjustments to their squad for this match against Bangladesh-W. Fariha Trisna and Shorifa Khatun could replace Disha Biswas and Nishita Akter respectively; Sophie Molineux may also play an integral part for her side in this encounter – she proved so impressive against Bangladesh-W in their previous T20I and is likely to continue her strong performances here too. Australia-W have won both previous T20 matches against them and hope to maintain that streak here too! Australia have won both T20 matches played against Bangladesh-W, and so they look forward to continuing that winning streak here as well!
Bangladesh vs Australia 4th T20 Match
Bangladesh and Australia will likely engage in an exciting T20 Cricket encounter at Antigua on November 2. Australia have enjoyed success against Bangladesh recently and are favorites to win this encounter; however, Bangladeshi batsmen have struggled badly during this tournament; their top order has been especially weak so they will need to improve if they want to avoid another thrashing from Australia.
Australia won the toss and decided to bowl first, opting for fast bowler Nathan Ellis and Mitchell Swepson to use their pace against Bangladesh batsmen. Both Andrew Tye and Mitchell Swepson made several changes in the side, replacing Nathan Ellis and Adam Zampa respectively.
Shakib Al Hasan will lead Bangladesh’s attack. He has proven himself one of the only batsmen in this tournament who has scored consistently over 50 runs throughout. His form against spinners has been particularly impressive and will look to continue it against India.
Bangladesh have made an encouraging start, grabbing two singles off Turner in his opening over. Sarkar then hit Hazlewood for four to move them onto 10/2 after three overs.
Agar conceded only two runs during his fourth over, successfully restricting Bangladesh batsmen Mahmudullah and Henriques from scoring runs with their attempts at sweeping. Mahmudullah failed to sweep and was trapped leg-before for a nought. Later Henriques attempted a straight delivery but edged it into the keeper for a run-out; with their defeat Bangladesh were reduced to 51/3 after nine overs.
Agar continued his impressive bowling performance by restricting Bangladesh to just two runs in his opening two overs, before bowling a slower ball that Mahmudullah hit for six over long-on. Christian then hit back by hitting two sixes off Shoriful, before smashing another slower delivery from him over midwicket en route to Australia’s 90/3 total in 18 overs.
