Australia Women will begin their three-match ODI series against Bangladesh Women with the visitors making their first-ever bilateral cricket tour of Australia. The series is part of the ICC Women’s Championship, giving both teams valuable opportunities to strengthen their positions in the qualification race. Australia head into the contest with a strong record against Bangladesh, having swept their previous bilateral ODI series 3-0 in Dhaka in 2024. They also defeated Bangladesh by 10 wickets during the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup after restricting them to 198 runs. Australia currently sit at the top of the ICC ODI rankings, while Bangladesh are placed seventh, setting up a challenging assignment for the touring side.
The opening match will be played at Allan Border Field in Brisbane, where the conditions could offer opportunities to both batters and bowlers. The surface is known for its firm bounce and stroke-making potential, although seamers may find movement with the new ball before spinners become more influential as the innings progresses. The historical average first-innings score in Women’s ODIs at the venue is around 214, with totals above 250 considered competitive. Weather conditions are expected to remain pleasant, with mostly sunny skies, temperatures between 26°C and 28°C, and only a small chance of rain. Australia will look to use home advantage, while Bangladesh will aim to make a strong start to this landmark tour.
