In a landmark moment for women’s cricket, the first-ever Women’s One Day International (ODI) series between Australia and Bangladesh is poised to commence in Dhaka on Thursday. The anticipation is palpable as both teams gear up to script a new chapter in their cricketing histories.

Leading the charge for Bangladesh will be the seasoned Nigar Sultana, whose leadership skills have been instrumental in shaping the team’s journey thus far. Meanwhile, Alyssa Healy will continue to spearhead the Australian side, bringing her wealth of experience to the forefront as they embark on this historic tour.

Australia enter the series fresh off the back of a multi-format home series against South Africa, where they clinched the ODI leg with a resounding 2-1 victory. On the other hand, Bangladesh’s last ODI outing also saw them locking horns with South Africa, where the Proteas emerged victorious with a 2-1 win.

What makes this series even more significant is the fact that Australia and Bangladesh have never crossed paths in a bilateral series in any format before. The inclusion of Bangladesh in the latest cycle of the ICC Women’s Championship has paved the way for this historic tour, signifying a significant milestone for women’s cricket on the global stage. Following the ODI series, the action-packed tour will continue with three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), promising fans an exhilarating display of cricketing prowess from both sides.
