AUS-W vs BAN-W Women's T20 World Cup 2023: St. George's Park, Gqeberha pitch history and records
Bangladesh Women will play their second match of the Women's T20 World Cup 2023 tonight against defending champions Australia Women at St. George's Park. The Asian team got off to a disappointing start in the mega event, losing their first game against Sri Lanka Women by seven wickets.
Australia Women, on the other hand, have been unstoppable in the shortest format of the game. They won the Commonwealth Games gold medal last year and then registered series wins over India Women and Pakistan Women. The defending champions started their Women's T20 World Cup 2023 campaign with a big 97-run win against New Zealand Women.
It should not be a surprise if Australia Women record another grand victory tonight. Before the match starts, here are some important numbers you need to know from previous women's T20s hosted by this ground.
