Australia Women (AUS W) will face Bangladesh Women (BAN W) in Match No. 17 of the Women’s World Cup 2025 at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Thursday, October 16, 2025.

Australia Women are currently at the top of the points table, having won three of their four matches. The team is in outstanding form and recently triumphed over India Women in a thrilling encounter, highlighted by Alyssa Healy’s brilliant knock. They will look to continue their dominant run, aiming for a comfortable win to secure their place in the next stage of the tournament.

On the other hand, Bangladesh Women sit sixth in the points table with one win from four matches. After their recent defeat to South Africa Women, they will be eager to bounce back. A victory in this match is crucial for Bangladesh if they hope to remain in contention for a semi-final berth.

The ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam has so far favoured teams batting second in the tournament. Teams batting first need to be cautious with big shots and focus on building a substantial total. Bowlers, on the other hand, must remain disciplined, as any loose deliveries are likely to be punished. Maintaining tight lines and lengths will be crucial to restricting the opposition’s run flow.

Alyssa Healy (c & wk), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Annabel Sutherland, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Sophie Molineux, Kim Garth, Alana King, Megan Schutt

Rubya Haider, Fargana Hoque, Sharmin Akhter, Nigar Sultana (c & wk), Sobhana Mostary, Shorna Akter, Fahima Khatun, Nahida Akter, Rabeya Khan, Ritu Moni, Marufa Akter

Australian opener Phoebe Litchfield could be a key player in this clash. Although she has struggled for form in the tournament so far, she has the potential to turn things around. Her performance will be one to watch, as a strong innings from her could significantly influence the outcome of the game.

The right-arm pacer Annabel Sutherland could be the key bowler in this clash. She is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament so far, claiming 10 wickets, including a five-wicket haul against India Women. Another strong performance from her with the ball could be crucial in taking the game forward for Australia.
