AUS vs BAN Pitch Report

The pitch at Allan Border Field, Brisbane is a challenging surface. The surface provides big assistance to the pacers in the powerplay. Spin also joins the party in the middle overs. It’s an initial phase of the Australian summer so we can expect less spin compared to the pace. In the last five matches, the average first innings score is 217. Australia posted 371 runs at this venue. 

Score prediction: 

If Bangladesh Women bat first - 210-220 runs 

If Australia Women bat first - 280-290 runs 

Toss: To Bat

In the last five women’s T20I on this surface, chasing sides won the matches two times. Across all 22 matches, chasing sides secured 13 matches. Australia never lost an ODI game on this surface, winning all 22 games.  The pitch gets slower as the match progresses. The new ball will be effective. Both teams have had better results while batting first and they will look to bat first in this fixture as well. 

Toss Prediction: Bangladesh Women to win the coin toss.
