AUS-W vs BAN-W Betting Tips
Phoebe Litchfield – Top Australia Women Run Scorer
Phoebe Litchfield is an excellent option in the top Australia run-scorer market after making a decisive impact in the opening ODI. The left-hander scored 77 off just 57 balls as Australia chased down Bangladesh's 166 in only 25.4 overs, giving the hosts a seven-wicket victory and a 1-0 lead in the series.
Alana King – Top Australia Women Wicket Taker
Alana King is worth considering in the top Australia wicket-taker market. Australia's attack has several options, but King offers a wicket-taking threat through the middle overs, particularly if Bangladesh's batters struggle to rotate the strike against spin. Bangladesh were dismissed for 166 in the first ODI, with Australia's bowlers maintaining pressure throughout the innings. King will be looking to exploit that vulnerability, although the market is competitive with Annabel Sutherland, Kim Garth, Ashleigh Gardner and Megan Schutt also capable of taking multiple wickets.
Team form (Last 5 matches)

Bangladesh Women
Australia's first win reinforced the gulf in experience between the teams in Australian conditions. Bangladesh will hope to adjust after their first ODI on Australian soil, but the hosts have a settled core of international performers and several bowling options capable of restricting the visitors.
The main concern for Australia is avoiding complacency. With the series only three matches long, Bangladesh will be eager to respond, and a better batting performance could make the contest closer. However, Australia remain the clear choice based on the opening result and their superior depth.

Head-to-Head Record
This series is a historic one: it is the first bilateral women's ODI series between Australia and Bangladesh to be played in Australia. The teams met in a T20I series earlier in 2026, which Australia won 3-0.
Australia Women Preview
Australia head into the second ODI with confidence after a comprehensive win. Litchfield's attacking innings made the chase look comfortable, while Sutherland's four-wicket haul demonstrated the hosts' ability to control the game with the ball as well as contribute with the bat.
Sutherland was the standout all-round performer in the opening match. Schutt also made history by taking her 150th ODI wicket, and Australia's bowling attack kept Bangladesh from building the partnerships needed to post a challenging total.
Tahlia McGrath continues to lead the side in Sophie Molineux's absence. Australia are also without Darcie Brown and Lucy Hamilton, but retain considerable international experience through Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Ashleigh Gardner and Georgia Wareham.
Litchfield will again be a key player at the top of the order. Georgia Voll and Perry provide further batting options, while Mooney offers stability. Sutherland and Gardner strengthen the middle order and provide valuable bowling support.

Bangladesh Women Preview
Bangladesh need a much-improved performance after being bowled out for 166 in the opening match. The visitors struggled to establish partnerships and lost wickets at regular intervals, leaving their bowlers with a modest target to defend. Australia then chased it down with more than 24 overs remaining.
Captain Nigar Sultana Joty will be central to Bangladesh's hopes of producing a more competitive total. The visitors need their top order to see off Australia's new-ball attack and avoid losing early wickets. A stronger contribution from experienced batters such as Fargana Hoque and Murshida Khatun would help give the middle order a platform.
Bangladesh also need their bowlers to vary their pace and lengths more effectively. Australia were able to score freely during the chase, and containing Litchfield will be a major priority. Nahida Akter and Rabeya Khan could play important roles if the surface offers assistance to spin.
Predicted Playing XI
- Fargana Hoque
- Murshida Khatun
- Sharmin Akhter Supta
- Nigar Sultana Joty (c) (wk)
- Sobhana Mostary
- Shorna Akter
- Ritu Moni
- Rabeya Khan
- Nahida Akter
- Sultana Khatun
- Marufa Akter
Toss Prediction
Australia chose to field after winning the toss in the first ODI and went on to win comfortably. That decision worked well, as the bowlers restricted Bangladesh to 166 before the top order made short work of the chase.
Given that recent outcome, the captain winning the toss may again consider bowling first. However, the decision will depend on the pitch, weather and conditions on match day.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Allan Border Field in Brisbane is hosting all three ODIs. The venue's historical women's ODI averages are approximately 214 for the first innings and 175 for the second, although actual scores can vary considerably with conditions and the quality of the bowling attack.
Weather interruptions have been raised as a potential factor in previews of the match, so conditions should be checked closer to the start.
Our Prediction
Australia are strongly positioned to win the second ODI, but the match-winner price is extremely short. At 1.001, the return from backing Australia outright is minimal relative to the risk, so the more interesting betting angles are Litchfield in the top run-scorer market and King in the top wicket-taker market.
Bet on Australia Women to win.
