Toss Australia chose to /bowl vs Bangladesh
Australia captain Tahlia McGrath won all three tosses in the series, and opted to bowl for third successive time against Bangladesh. She said the fresh pitch at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane prompted her to take that decision.
Australia made one change for the third ODI. McGrath said opening batter Phoebe Litchfield had a "hip complaint," and that right-arm seamer Nicola Carey took her place in the side.
Beth Mooney, who will be playing her 100th ODI, will be pushed up to open the innings in Litchfield's absence.
Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana wanted to bowl first too. They have batted first in both matches of the series so far, and posted scores of 166 and 220 for 6. They handed a debut to seam-bowling allrounder Disha Biswas on Wednesday. Her inclusion was one of three changes to the side: Biswas, Murshida Khatun and Sultana Khatun came in for Nahida Akter, Fargana Hoque and Marufa Akter.
