Joty and Co opt to bowl against Australia in women's ODI series opener
Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana Joty has won the toss and has asked Australia to bat first in the first of three women's One-Day Internationals at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur today.
Joty informed that the Tigresses will look to seize the advantage of early morning conditions, coupled with the fact that it rained yesterday.

This is the first bilateral series between the two sides, who have played each other in only one match in the 50-over format -- a 2022 World Cup encounter which the Aussies won by five wickets in Wellington.
The match is scheduled to begin at 9:30am (local time), and will be televised live on T Sports and streamed on Bangladesh Cricket Board's official YouTube channel, Bangladesh Cricket: The Tigers.
