Unbeaten Australia Women will look to stretch their winning streak when they take on Bangladesh Women in the 17th match of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025. The match is scheduled to be played at Vishakapatnam on 16th October 2025 at 3:00 PM IST. 

Australia Women

Australia Women are looking confident to defend their title this year as they registered their third consecutive victory in the tournament after a thrilling victory over India Women in the last game. They chased down the highest women's total in ODI World Cup history to etch their name in the record books. While batting first, India were bowled out for 330 runs, even after a solid start, but a phenomenal century from the skipper Alyssa Healy and a resilient fighting knock from Ellyse Perry stole the match from the jaws of defeat. With 7 points from the four matches, they are sitting at the top of the points table. 

Bangladesh Women

Bangladesh Women are yet to find consistency after their victory over Pakistan in the opening match. They lost three matches on a trot coming into this match. Their recent heartbreak came against South Africa Women, where they suffered a close 3-wicket defeat.  With just two points from their one victory, they are sitting in the sixth spot and would be desperate for another victory in the tournament if they want to keep themselves alive in the tournament. But challenging a team like Australia would a tough task for this team.

  • Beth Mooney | AUS-W: The 31-year-old left-hand batter is one of the best attacking players in this format for the Australia team. She has been in sublime touch in the 50-over format recently and proved why her experience becomes crucial situations for the team. She played a match-saving century knock in the match against Pakistan and would look to contribute more against Bangladesh Women. In 3 matches in the tournament so far, she has added 125 runs with one century. 
  • Sharmin Akhter | BAN-W: Bangladesh's one of the best-performing batters in the tournament so far. She has played 4 matches and has added 93 runs with a half-century against South Africa Women in the last match. With that half-century, her morale would have gotten boosted and she would look to perform under pressure against Australia.
