Women’s T20I: Australia crush Bangladesh by 10 wickets

Following their dominant sweep in the ODI series, Australia continued their winning ways against Bangladesh, registering a crushing 10-wicket victory in the first T20I match in Mirpur on Sunday.

Batting first, Bangladesh struggled to build a competitive total. Despite captain Nigar Sultana's unbeaten 63, the hosts were restricted to a modest score. Early wickets, including first-ball ducks for Dilara Akter and Sobhana Mostary, hampered their progress.

Sophie Molineux was the pick of the Australian bowlers, claiming two wickets.

In response, Australian openers Alyssa Healy (65) and Beth Mooney (55) made light work of the chase, reaching the target in just 13 overs. The Bangladeshi bowlers were unable to challenge the powerful Australian batting lineup.

The second and third T20Is will be played at the same venue on April 2nd and 4th, with Bangladesh looking to bounce back and Australia aiming to maintain their dominance.
