Nigar Sultana and her team are facing a lack of confidence following a disappointing performance where they were outplayed in both batting and bowling. Sultana is looking for her batters to step up against stronger opponents and deliver a better showing. Sobhana Mostary and Fargana Hoque need to perform well at the top of the order, while Sultana herself must anchor the innings in the middle order alongside Murshida Khatun and Fahima Khatun. Ritu Moni, Shorna Akter, and Rabeya Khan also need to contribute in the lower middle order for the team to be successful. Marufa Akter and Sultana Khatun will be key with the new ball, aiming to take early wickets. Rabeya Khan and Nahida Akter must control the middle overs, while Fahima Khatun and Shorna Akter will provide support in the bowling attack.

Alyssa Healy's team faced challenges in the previous match but bounced back with a comprehensive victory, thanks to a stellar performance by the bowlers. Healy will be counting on her batters to deliver in the upcoming game, especially after a batting collapse in the first ODI. The opposing team appears to be lacking confidence, which gives Healy's team an opportunity to dominate. Healy and Phoebe Litchfield will aim to provide a solid start, having struggled against the Bangladeshi bowlers previously. The middle order boasts experienced players such as Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, and Tahlia McGrath, who are expected to contribute with runs. Ashleigh Gardner, Annabel Sutherland, and Alana King demonstrated their batting prowess in the last game, adding depth to the team's lineup. Megan Schutt and Kim Garth impressed with their bowling in the previous match and will aim to create problems for the opposition's top order. Ashleigh Gardner and Georgia Wareham will apply pressure during the middle overs, while Alana King and Ellyse Perry provide additional variety to the bowling attack.
