On Thursday, the third and ultimate Women’s T20I match between Bangladesh and Australia unfolded at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. Once again, Australia showcased their superiority by securing another resounding victory, triumphing with a significant margin of 77 runs. This win further enabled the Australians to clean sweep Bangladesh in the T20I series.
Alyssa Healy, Tahlia McGrath powers Australia to competitive total
Winning the toss, Australia Women elected to bat first, setting a challenging target for the hosts. The Australian innings witnessed significant contributions from Alyssa Healy, Tahlia McGrath, and Grace Harris, helping them post a formidable total of 155/6 in their allotted 20 overs.
Healy provided a solid start with a brisk 45 off 29 deliveries, including 6 fours and 2 sixes. McGrath’s explosive 43 off 29 balls and Harris’s quickfire 19 off 11 balls bolstered the Australian total.
Tayla Vlaeminck sizzles with outstanding bowling
In response, the Bangladesh Women’s batting lineup struggled to counter the disciplined Australian bowling attack. Despite Nigar Sultana‘s resilient 32 off 31 balls, Bangladesh could only manage 78 runs before being bowled out in 18.1 overs.
Tayla Vlaeminck and Sophie Molineux led the bowling charge for Australia, picking up three wickets each, while Megan Schutt and Ellyse Perry contributed with crucial breakthroughs. The Australian bowlers maintained tight control over the Bangladeshi batters, restricting them to a paltry total and securing a convincing victory by 77 runs.

What really hurts about that innings is that the wicket today is pretty good to bat . Australia scored 47 runs in the last 3 overs . It was all about the intent & sadly the Australian women team isn’t the same anymore #BANvAUS
