Commentary

So, that bring us to the end of the coverage of the second ODI between Bangladesh Women and Australia Women. We hope you enjoyed it. Stick around at Sportskeeda for cricketing action from around the globe. From here, it is Sourabh and Bala taking your leave. Ciao!

Alyssa Healy (Australia Women captain) - The Bangladeshi bowlers have troubled us but it was a much better batting wicket today compared to the other day, the ball came on to the bat well. They put us under the pump but we know that we have a lot of depth in our batting, it is really nice to be a part of that. These conditions are very different from what we get back in Australia and it is the back end of the season, a lot of tired bodies but really proud of the girls that all of them are ready and look to get better with every game.

Sophie Molineux is the Player of the match, Here's what she said - It was good fun out there. The plan was to bowl and full and straight, there was not a lot of turn today. All the bowlers stuck to their plans today. The leggies bowled some good wrong un's and Ash bowled well as well. Nothing much changes, it has been some good time away and now getting back will look to continue the same.

Nigar Sultana (Bangladesh captain): It was a very good wicket to bat on. Our batters were disappointing. This is not about playing the top side, we are not playing to our potential. We have a good batting side, but nobody is taking responsibility. If the top five batters fail to score, it's difficult for the middle-order. When you are not getting runs in the powerplay, it's difficult to capitalize. They were hanging in but not getting runs. We need to work on it. Whenever a low score match going on, we feel like 20-30 runs more could have been useful, but we are always short.

MATCH SUMMARY

Australia Women won by 6 wickets

Ellyse Perry 35*(50) | Sophie Molineux 3/10(10)
Nahida Akhter 22(47) | Sultana Khatun 1/23(5)

Australia have put up another comprehensive performance and finish off the run-chase with more than 26 overs to go taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 3-match ODI series.

The target of 98 was never going to be enough and even though Bangladesh got some wickets with their all-spin attack and a couple of run-outs, the ever-reliable Perry and Gardner made sure that the Aussies cruised home with 6 wickets in hand.

Bangladesh tried all they could with their spinners bowling all the overs setting aggressive fields but they were never in this match right from when their batters were skittled out on a mere 97.

Opting to bat first, the Bangladesh women never got going and even though they played upwards of 40-overs they could not even muster 100 runs in totality.

The Aussie spinners choked the Bangladeshi women and did not give them an inch. They shared the majority of the wickets with Molineux getting 3 and Gardner, King and Wareham with 2 each.

23.5 Shorna Akhter to Ellyse Perry, quick half-track, flat bats it to the bowler. She can't stop it cleanly and they get through for a single. Australia women win by 6 wickets!

Scores level

23.4 Shorna Akhter to Ashleigh Gardner, short of a length outside off. Punches it off the back foot to sweeper cover. Scores are level

23.3 Shorna Akhter to Ashleigh Gardner, comes down the track and tries to go aerial. Miscues it though and ends up evading the fielder at covers

23.2 Shorna Akhter to Ellyse Perry, short of a length outside off. Punches it off the back foot to covers. A fumble allows them a single

23.1 Shorna Akhter to Ellyse Perry, comes down the track and takes it on the full. Powers it through mid-wicket and it takes a diving effort in the deep to cut it off

Shorna Akhter [2.0-0-11-0] is back into the attack.

The writing is on the wall for Bangladesh now. Just 7 runs needed for Australia to win the match

22.6 Nahida Akter to Ashleigh Gardner, quicker ball on the leg-stump. Seems like it flicked her thigh pad on the way to the keeper

22.5 Nahida Akter to Ashleigh Gardner, short of a length outside off. Punches it off the back foot to cover

22.4 Nahida Akter to Ellyse Perry, inches down and eases the ball down to long-off

The Bangladesh skipper, Nigar Sultana seems to have hurt her fingers as she tried to collect the ball down the leg-side. The physio is out there to have a look, a slight pause in play.

The runs required are now down to single-digits

22.4 Nahida Akter to Ashleigh Gardner, flatter ball but goes down the leg-side. The keeper fails to gather it cleanly
