King and Wareham Spin Australia to Control
Earlier, Australia Women’s bowling laid the foundation for victory. Leg-spinners Alana King and Georgia Wareham delivered exceptional spells to restrict Bangladesh to 198 for 9. King bowled four maidens and claimed 2 for 18 in her 10 overs, while Wareham took 2 for 22. Their disciplined bowling prevented Bangladesh from building momentum despite a fighting knock by Sobhana Mostary, who remained unbeaten on 66.
Although Australia dropped several catches and leaked late runs, the spinners ensured Bangladesh’s total stayed within reach. The fielding lapses, including six dropped chances, highlighted areas for improvement before their next clash against England.
Sobhana Mostary’s Late Fight in Vain
For Bangladesh Women, Sobhana Mostary provided resilience with her 66 not out, hitting multiple boundaries in the final overs. However, despite her spirited effort, Bangladesh’s innings lacked partnerships and consistency against the world champions’ disciplined bowling attack.
