Bangladesh's Shamima Sultana was cleaned up by Australia's Megan Schutt during the Twenty20 women's World Cup match in Canberra on Thursday — Internet In the second match of the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup, Bangladesh Women's team suffered a big defeat by 86 runs against the hosts and defending champions Australia at Perth on Thursday, reports UNB.
Australia won the toss and opted to bat first. They posted 189 for one in 20 overs, the highest total of the event so far. Bangladeshi bowlers were clueless to prevent the hosts' batters from scoring runs.
Openers Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney posted 151 runs in the first wicket stand. While Alyssa scored 83 off 53 balls with 10 fours and three sixes and fell prey to Salma Khatun, Beth scored 81 off 58 with nine fours and remained unbeaten. Ashleigh Gardner was the only other batter who batted in the game for Australia and scored 22 unbeaten off nine balls with three fours and one six.
All of the Bangladeshi bowlers were expensive in this game. Rumana Ahmed, who returned with the most economical figures, conceded as much as 7.50 runs per over. Khadija Tul Kubra and Jahanara Alam were the most expensive bowlers.
