Australia Women completed a 3-0 series whitewash against Bangladesh Women with an eight-wicket victory in the 3rd ODI at Allan Border Field, Brisbane, on October 14, 2026. Bangladesh Women were bowled out for 172, and Australia Women reached the target of 173 in 23 overs to seal a dominant series sweep.
Megan Schutt was the standout performer with the ball, returning figures of 4 for 16 from 10 overs that included five maidens. She was named both Player of the Match and Player of the Series, finishing the three-match series with 10 wickets in total.
Annabel Sutherland led the chase with an unbeaten 74 off 52 balls, hitting 12 fours, while Ellyse Perry contributed 65 off 64 balls with eight fours. The pair ensured Australia Women completed the chase with ease, wrapping up the series without dropping a wicket in the final stages.
How did Bangladesh Women’s batting collapse shape the match?
Bangladesh Women found themselves in serious trouble early in their innings, slipping to 18 for 3 in the first nine overs. This was the third consecutive match in the series in which they lost three wickets within the opening 10 overs, a pattern that repeatedly left their middle order under pressure from the outset.
Schutt was central to the early damage, removing Sobhana Mostary, who had scored a century in the 2nd ODI, in the 3rd ODI. Kim Garth bowled unchanged alongside Schutt for the first 17 overs but remained wicketless despite drawing multiple edges from Bangladesh batters, underlining how well the Australian seamers controlled the powerplay and the middle overs.
Shorna Akter and Sharmin Akhter both scored half-centuries to give Bangladesh Women’s innings some respectability, but the side could not recover from the early collapse and were eventually dismissed for 172. The two fifties represented the only sustained resistance Bangladesh could muster across a difficult afternoon at Allan Border Field.
How did Australia Women perform across the full series?
Australia Women were dominant throughout the three-match series, winning each game by a significant margin and never facing a competitive chase at any stage. They won the 1st ODI by 7 wickets on October 9, 2026, at Allan Border Field, before following that up with a 9-wicket victory in the 2nd ODI on October 11, 2026, at the same venue. Georgia Voll scored 131 not out in that second match, one of the most commanding individual batting performances of the series.
The 3rd ODI victory by 8 wickets rounded off a comprehensive series performance. Australia Women won all three matches at Allan Border Field, Brisbane, and did not face a competitive chase in any of the three games, reflecting the gulf in class between the two sides throughout the tour.
Schutt’s series tally of 10 wickets was the defining bowling contribution of the tour, while Sutherland’s unbeaten 74 in the final match underlined the depth of Australia Women’s batting lineup. The series result confirmed Australia Women’s complete dominance at home against Bangladesh Women, with every department performing to a high standard across all three matches.
