Australia Women beat Bangladesh Women by eight wickets in the third and final ODI at Allan Border Field in Brisbane, completing a 3-0 series sweep. Put in to bat, Bangladesh were bowled out for 172, with Megan Schutt taking 4 for 16, before Australia chased the target down in 22.4 overs for the loss of only two wickets, with the series already decided after the second match.
Bowling first for the third match in a row, Australia had Bangladesh in early trouble, with Schutt's new-ball spell the main reason the top order never got settled. Schutt finished with 4 for 16 from her ten overs, figures that earned her both the Player of the Match award for this game and the Player of the Series award, having taken 10 wickets across the three matches.
Shorna Akter (54) and Sharmin Akter (50) both passed fifty, with no other Bangladesh batter offering substantial support, as the innings was bowled out for 172 in 49.5 overs — a competitive platform against a weaker attack, but short of what was needed against the reigning 50-over world champions.
Annabel Sutherland finished unbeaten on 74 off 52 balls and Ellyse Perry unbeaten on 65 off 64, with the pair putting on an unbroken 137-run third-wicket stand that took the chase away from Bangladesh well before the 30th over. Sutherland also chipped in with the ball, taking 2 for 25 earlier in the innings — an all-round contribution that underlined why she was in the frame for the match award alongside Schutt.
All three matches of Bangladesh's first-ever bilateral ODI tour of Australia followed a similar pattern — a Bangladesh middle order producing individual resistance, including Sobhana Mostary's maiden century in the second match, before Australia's depth took over. A 3-0 sweep, with the margins widening rather than narrowing as the series went on, reflects the gap between a touring side still finding its feet on Australian conditions and a squad that remains the benchmark in the women's 50-over game.
