Garth, Harris come into Australia XI for third ODI

Two changes for the Australians, who are bowling first as they look to clean sweep Bangladesh in Dhaka

Tahlia McGrath will miss the third and final ODI against Bangladesh due to back spasms, with Grace Harris coming into the Australia XI in her place.

Australia are bowling first in the series finale after Alyssa Healy called correctly at the toss, as her team seek a 3-0 series whitewash.

McGrath is expected to be available for the three-game T20I series beginning Sunday, and Annabel Sutherland has been elevated to No.5 in her place, while Harris has been named in just her second ODI since 2016.

Australia have made a second change for Wednesday's game, with Kim Garth replacing Megan Schutt, whose workload is being managed.

Harris's inclusion means Healy will have five spin options at her disposal. In Sunday's second ODI, the spin quartet of Ashleigh Gardner, Alana King, Georgia Wareham and Sophie Molineux took 9-77 between them as Australia cruised to a six-wicket win.

Bangladesh have made one change at the top of the order, with Sumaiya Akter replacing opener Sobhana Mostary.
