Bangladesh will now aim to put up a stronger performance and end the series with a win.
Australia will enter the final ODI with confidence after their comfortable victories in the first two matches.

Their batters will look to build partnerships and put up a competitive total, while the bowlers will aim to take early wickets and restrict Australia’s scoring.

These numbers show that she has been scoring consistently while maintaining an attacking style of batting.

Alana King will be an important player for Australia Women with the ball. She has taken 20 wickets in her last 10 matches, with an economy rate of 4.02 and a bowling strike rate of 25.5. Her ability to take wickets while keeping the runs under control makes her a valuable option for the Australian team. King could have an important role during the middle overs, particularly if Bangladesh manage to build partnerships. Australia will hope she continues her recent form and creates problems for the visitors’ batting line-up.
Sobhana Mostary
Sobhana Mostary will be one of Bangladesh Women’s key batting options in the final ODI. She has scored 351 runs in her last 10 matches, with an average of 43.88 and a strike rate of 81.43. Her numbers show that she can make useful contributions and help the team build partnerships. After losing the first two matches, Bangladesh will need their batters to spend more time at the crease and make better use of their opportunities. Mostary will aim to score valuable runs and help her team put up a stronger challenge against Australia.
Nahida Akter
Nahida Akter will be an important part of Bangladesh Women’s bowling attack in the third ODI. She has taken 10 wickets in her last nine matches, with an economy rate of 4.46 and a bowling strike rate of 36.9.
