Anesu Mushangwe's remarkable road to the Big Bash 

The Australian women's cricket team spend many months of the year travelling around the globe playing cricket for their country, as well as in various franchise leagues across the world.

 

This particular tour of Bangladesh is presenting the well-travelled Australians with some unique challenges and opportunities, all of which Beth Mooney and Alana King take the time to explain in great detail.

 

Over a spirited game of Monopoly Deal, Beth and Alana cover a lot of territory: the sheer terror of facing Tayla Vlaeminck in the nets, what makes this Australian team unique, Beth's big 30th plus the exciting schedule of international cricket on the horizon.

 

Before that, hosts Laura Jolly and Emily Collin wrap up a convincing 3-0 ODI series win to the visitors and look ahead to whether Australia might tinker even more with their XI heading into the three T20s.
