Megan Schutt's four-wicket haul set up Australia's eight-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the third ODI at Allan Border Field in Brisbane on Wednesday (October 14), completing a 3-0 series sweep. Schutt returned figures of 4 for 16, while Annabel Sutherland and Ellyse Perry struck unbeaten half-centuries to guide the hosts to the target of 173 in just 22.4 overs.
Having elected to bowl, Australia made early inroads through Schutt, who dismantled Bangladesh's top order to leave the visitors struggling at 45 for 4. The pacer removed Murshida Khatun and Sarmin Sultana early before dismissing captain Nigar Sultana and Sobhana Mostary to leave Bangladesh in trouble.
Sharmin Akhter and Shorna Akter then provided some resistance, putting together a 54-run stand for the fifth wicket. Sharmin made 50 off 93 balls, striking eight boundaries, before falling to Perry in the 34th over. Shorna kept the innings going, scoring 54 off 71 deliveries, as Bangladesh attempted to rebuild after their early setbacks.
