Australia crushes Bangladesh by nine wickets to clinch the series
Georgia Voll hit 131 not out in a nine-wicket win that clinched Australia's series over Bangladesh.
Georgia Voll smashed an unbeaten 131 off 97 balls as Australia chased down Bangladesh's 6 for 222 in just 28.1 overs. The nine-wicket victory clinched the series with one match remaining.
Voll and Phoebe Litchfield opened the chase, with Litchfield making 70 off 51 balls. Ellyse Perry joined later to help seal the win.
Bangladesh compiled their total after batting first. Sobhana Mostary's 118 off 134 balls was historic, the first century by a Bangladesh woman against Australia in an international match.
Mostary and captain Nigar Sultana Joty added 195 runs, the highest ODI partnership ever recorded against the Australian women. The total on a flat Allan Border Field pitch proved insufficient.
