Summary
That’s where we will leave things today. There were some really positive signs from Bangladesh with their bowling and then in the first few overs at the crease, but it was just not nearly enough to stop the force that is Australia’s women’s cricket team. Healy and the selectors opted to take a few small risks by changing up the batting order, but they paid off, Wareham and Harris putting on a brilliant partnership and perhaps posing some new questions for when it comes to World Cup decisions. I’ll be interested to see whether they shake things up again for the third T20 on Thursday, or they stick with this lineup, or they revert to business as usual one last time.
Litchfield had another poor outing with the bat, but as Healy said after the match, she’s a very young player who is still finding her feet at the international level. The captain backed her to come out of this period and show more of the exciting cricket we’ve seen from her in the past.
Thanks for following along today. See you next time!
Australia’s captain Healy steps up to offer a few words, saying she is thrilled with the cricket her side played today, even more so than getting the win itself. I guess you have to say things like that when all you ever do is win.
Asked if we can expect more experimentation in Thursday’s T20, Healy says we’ll have to wait and see but that she “thoroughly enjoyed” batting at No 10 today.
Australia shook up their batting order but it didn't stop them romping to another BIG win in Dhaka #BANvAUS
