Bangladesh Women will take on Australia Women at the Basin Reserve in Wellington in the 25th match of the ICC Women's World Cup 2022.

Australia, led by Meg Lanning, are through to the semis of the ongoing tournament. They will want to stay unbeaten in the league stage before heading into the knockouts. The Aussies are coming off a five-wicket win against South Africa.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh, captained by Nigar Sultana Joty, won their maiden World Cup game against Pakistan and came close to beating the West Indies as well. However, on Tuesday, Mithali Raj’s India beat them by 110 runs at Seddon Park in Hamilton.

After electing to bat first, India put up a decent score of 229, following Yastika Bhatia’s 80-ball knock of 50. Ritu Moni was the pick of the Bangladesh bowlers with three wickets. The Tigresses couldn’t put up much fight in their run chase and were bowled out for 119.
