News from the ground is that the weather is looking perfect. It\u2019s hot out there \u2013 around 32 degrees at the moment. It looks unlikely that the rain that crushed Pakistan\u2019s hopes in Colombo yesterday will travel up north to Visakhapatnam to put a dampener on this game.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh wins the toss and elects to bat<\/p>\n

Nigar Sultana wins the toss for Bangladesh and decides that pitch looks perfect for batting. She\u2019s confident that her team can put on a good total and defend it.<\/p>\n

And Bangladesh\u2019s close call against England is worth reviewing before this match begins as well.<\/p>\n

While we\u2019re waiting for the toss, why not catch up on last night\u2019s excitement? Unfortunately literal rain rained on the parade of Pakistan, who came within a whisper of their first ever ODI victory over England. If you missed the action, we\u2019ve got you covered with this match report from Raf Nicholson.<\/p>\n

Share<\/a>Preamble\"MeganMegan Maurice<\/p>\n

Hello and welcome to match 17 of the Women\u2019s Cricket<\/a> World Cup! Today we\u2019ve got the undefeated Australia taking on Bangladesh, who are hunting for their second win of the tournament.<\/p>\n

It has been a fascinating World Cup so far \u2013 while Australia indeed are yet to lose a match, they have looked shaky at times. Their batting against Pakistan was far from its best, while against India they struggled to find the answers during their bowling innings. Both times they were able to get over the line, but opposition teams will be watching closely to note these vulnerabilities and make plans to exploit them.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh\u2019s sole win of the tournament so far came against Pakistan \u2013 a decisive, seven-wicket win with strong contributions across the bowling attack. However, they also put on very good showings against South Africa, which came down to the final over, and England, who looked in trouble at 5\/78 chasing Bangladesh\u2019s 178. While neither of those games finished with a win, they will have offered the team plenty of confidence that they have the ability to match it with some of the world\u2019s best teams.<\/p>\n

If Bangladesh can bring that form into this match, we might be in for another exciting finish. While Australia are very much the favourites here, let\u2019s not write off the underdogs. There\u2019s plenty to discuss, so let\u2019s get into it!<\/p>\n
