Mighty Australia Women (AUS W) take on Bangladesh Women (BAN W) in match No. 9 of the ongoing Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 at Headingley, Leeds, on Wednesday, June 17.
Six-time champions Australia started their campaign with a comprehensive 65-run win against South Africa at Old Trafford in Manchester. The Aussies scored 172/8 after winning the toss and opting to bat first. They followed it up with a brilliant bowling performance, dismissing South Africa for 107 in 16.4 overs.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh Women had to dig deep to win their opening encounter against the Netherlands. Chasing a 140-run target, Nigar Sultana’s women lost four quick wickets through the middle overs after a great start. However, thanks to Juairiya Ferdous’ quickfire half-century at the top and Sharmin Akhter’s unbeaten 37, the Asian side reached home with six wickets and five balls to spare.

AUS W vs BAN W: Probable Best Performers of the Match
Probable Best Batter: Phoebe Litchfield
Phoebe Litchfield played a stellar knock in Australia’s opening game against South Africa at Old Trafford in Manchester. She smashed 50 off just 24 balls against a strong bowling lineup. The southpaw will look to continue from where she left off in that game.
Probable Best Bowler: Sophie Molineux
Sophie Molineux bowled a terrific spell with the new ball against the Proteas. She dismissed openers Sune Luus and Laura Wolvaardt to finish with figures of 2/17 in three overs. The left-arm spinner would want to set the tone with the new ball.
