Australia secured a 3-0 ODI series win against Bangladesh with bowlers dominating another easy win in Dhaka

In three ODIs Australia bowled Bangladesh out for less than 100 every time flexing their muscle ahead of a return trip for this year’s T20 World Cup.

The all-conquering Australian women’s team celebrated the impending end of a 76-year MCG absence next summer by flexing their bowling muscle in another ODI rout of Bangladesh with the entire match lasting just 45 overs.

Showing extreme readiness for September’s T20 World Cup in the subcontinent, and little mercy for the home team, first seam then spin combined to dismiss the home for a paltry 89 inside 27 overs, the third time in three games Bangladesh failed to reach 100.

Australian spinners have taken 18 the 30 Bangladesh wickets to fall in the series in a strong pointed to what could work at the T20 World Cup in the same country in September where reigning champions will be looking to snare a fourth-straight title, and seventh from nine tournaments in a format they have dominated.

In a third-straight match at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka, seamers Kim Garth (3-11) and Ellyse Perry (2-17) rattled the top order before spin cleaned up in a positive sign the Australians boast the all-round bowling attack to succeed.

Having been reduced to 5-32, after been bowled out for 95 and 97 in the opening two ODIs in Dhaka, Bangladesh again showed an inability to handle the Australian spinners as Ash Gardner (3-25) and Sophie Molineux (2-23) then cleaned up as the lower-order slogged away.

Aussie captain Alyssa Healy then set about making short work of the run-chase, smashing six sixes in her 34-balls innings of 33 before Perry (27 not out) and Beth Mooney (21 not out) helped run down the total in just 18.3 overs, and only two wickets down.

The only concern was opener Phoebe Litchfield’s poor run continuing. She was out for 12, following a golden duck in the first game and just five in the second.

The result came after Cricket Australia confirmed a historic day-night Ashes Test would be played at the MCG in January, the first time the women’s team will play a red-ball game at the home of cricket since 1948-49.

Vice-captain Tahlia McGrath was forced to miss the match due to back spasms, with Grace Harris coming into the Australia XI in her place. But McGrath is expected to be available for the three-game T20I series beginning Sunday.
