Bangladesh national women's cricket team will set up their base camp in Goldcoast ahead of their ICC Women's World Twenty20-2020. Bangladesh women’s team will hold a 10-day preconditioning camp in Goldcoast to dovetail with the Australia's tough, bouncy and pace-friendly wickets and conditions, wherein they will play three practice matches against local teams arranged by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) beside their regular drill and practice to make their habituation in the wickets and conditions.
The Bangladesh women are all set to fly to Australia on February 2, two weeks before the kick-off of the premier T20 event in Down Under. The extravaganza event for the women's cricketers is scheduled to take place in Australia in between February 17 to March 8. The Tigresses will then travel to Brisbane from Goldcoast to enter the ICC programme, where they will play two warm-up practice matches, accredited by International Cricket Council (ICC) before the kick-off of the main games of the flagship event.
They will play those two warm-up practice matches against Pakistan and Thailand before travelling to Adelaide from Brisbane for the main matches of the mega event. Bangladesh women team have been drawn in the toughest Group-C with the top-flight Australia, New Zealand, India and Sri Lanka. The Tigresses will embark on their World T20 campaign in Down Under with the match of India at the WACA Stadium in Perth, Western Australia on February 24.
The tourists will next face off hosts Australia and New Zealand on February 27 and 29 respectively. They will play their fourth and last group phase match against its Asian rival Sri Lanka on March 2. Tawhid Mahmood, in charge of the BCB women's wing, said Bangladesh women's have been drawn in such a Group where there are two top-flight teams against whom they did not have any experience of playing any single match ever before. They are hosts Australia and its neighbours New Zealand.
Mahmood informed they will try to discuss from both the personal and board level with those two boards-Cricket Australia (CA) and New Zealand Cricket (NZC) along with the other boards to play reciprocal and bilateral or multi-national series or tournament during the World Cup. He also informed they discussed the matter with CA CEO when he came to visit in Bangladesh during the recently-concluded Bangabandhu-BPL. The Tigresses returned home from Patna, Bihar in India playing a preparatory tournament of Women's T20 Quadrangular Series, where they clinched the series final by beating India-B Women's Team.
