Tigresses hope to draw level

Bangladesh will take on South Africa at the Sheikh Kamal International Cricket Stadium in Cox's Bazar today in a must-win encounter for the hosts. Having lost the first two ODIs, Bangladesh came back into the five-match series with an intense 10-run win in the last ODI. With two more ODIs to go, the hosts will need to win today in order to stay in contention.

The main difference between the first two ODIs and the third ODI was the wicket. While the first two ODIs produced plenty of runs, the third ODI was played on a wicket that offered a lot more to the turners and the hosts grasped that opportunity. The fourth ODI between two national women's teams is likely to take place on a similar wicket just as the third.

So far right arm off-spinner Khadija Tul Kubra with eight wickets in three matches including figures of 4 for 33 in the last game, is the highest wicket-taker of the tournament. South Africa's Lizelle Lee with 203 runs in three games is the highest run-getter.
