The Australia women's cricket team toured Bangladesh in March and April 2024 to play three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1][2] The ODI series formed part of the 2022–2025 ICC Women's Championship.[3] The fixtures for the tour were confirmed by Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in February 2024.[4] The venue for all the matches was the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka.[5]

It was the Australia women's side's first tour to Bangladesh and first ever bilateral series between the two sides.[6][7]

Going into the series, Bangladesh had never beaten Australia in any format of women's international cricket.[8]

Australia won the ODI series 3–0,[9] with the hosts failing to reach a total of 100 runs in any of their batting innings.[10][11] Bangladesh's Fariha Trisna became the first female fast bowler to take multiple T20I hat-tricks in the second T20I,[12] but Australia once again won all three T20I matches and completed a clean sweep of the series.[13]
