Australia’s ongoing limited-overs worldwide tour of Bangladesh has added to the rising camaraderie between Australian ladies and Bangladesh ladies cricketers and the Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana Jyoti took it a notch larger on Saturday forward of the beginning of the primary T20I.
Nigar launched the Australian captain Alyssa Healy to the Bengali tradition and custom. The Bangladesh skipper introduced her Aussie counterpart Alyssa Healy with a conventional Bengali saree and red-coloured bangles on the eve of the primary T20I.
Healy, 34, posed with the purple saree, placed on the bangles and appeared actually delighted as Nigar tried to familiarise her with Bangladesh’s tradition.

Meanwhile, the 2 sides competed in a three-match ODI sequence earlier that ended within the customer’s favour as they registered a clear sweep 3-0. The Aussies gained the primary match of the sequence by 118 runs, the second by six wickets and the third and the ultimate fixture by eight wickets.
All three video games of the T20I sequence shall be performed on the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.
