AU-W vs BD-W Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11, Player Stats, Pitch Report for ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023, Match 8

The eighth match of the ICC T20 Women's World Cup 2023 will see Australia Women (AU-W) take on Bangladesh Women (BD-W) at St George's Park in Port Elizabeth on Tuesday, February 14. Ahead of the match, here's everything you need to know about the AU-W vs BD-W Dream11 prediction.

Australia started their defense of the T20 World Cup in some fashion, making quick work of a strong New Zealand side. While Meg Lanning and Alyssa Healy starred with the bat, it was all about Ashleigh Gardner, who picked a fifer. They will be keen to continue their form and take a step closer to the semi-finals with another win.

Their opponents Bangladesh have a decent roster but lack the same firepower the Aussies possess. Although they will start as underdogs, Bangladesh's bowling unit is well and truly capable of troubling the Australians, making for an intriguing contest in Port Elizabeth.

Alyssa Healy started the tournament in fine fashion, scoring 55 runs off just 38 balls against the White Ferns. Healy is an explosive batter with a T20I strike rate of 128.26, with 14 scores of fifty or more in this format.

Meg Lanning was also amongst the runs in the previous game, scoring 41 off 33 balls against New Zealand. Like Healy, Lanning also has a terrific record in this format with 3297 runs at an average of 36.23. With Lanning in sublime form coming into the game, she is another top pick for your AU-W vs BD-W Dream11 prediction team.

Top All-rounder Pick

Ashleigh Gardner (5/12 in the previous match vs New Zealand Women)

Ashleigh Gardner was sensational in the previous game, claiming a fifer against New Zealand. While her bowling form holds her in good stead, Gardner is more renowned for her big-hitting abilities with a batting strike rate of 133.62. With Gardner likely to play a part with both the bat and ball, she is a must-have in your AU-W vs BD-W Dream11 prediction team.

Top Bowler Pick

Marufa Akter (3/23 in the previous match vs Sri Lanka Women)

Marufa Akter was the lone bright spot in Bangladesh's bowling display against Sri Lanka as she picked up three wickets while conceding only 23 runs. She is a talented pacer who can use her variations to good effect. With Marufa likely to enjoy the conditions on offer, she is a decent addition to your AU-W vs BD-W Dream11 prediction team.
