Phoebe Litchfield's brilliant 77 and Annabel Sutherland's all-round show sent Australia cruising past Bangladesh at Allan Border Field.
Phoebe Litchfield put on a batting clinic as Australia crushed Bangladesh in a one-sided ODI, stretching their unbeaten run at Allan Border Field to 22 matches. The opener top-scored with 77 and made a modest target look like a training run.
Bangladesh were bowled out for just 166, a total that never looked big enough against this Australian attack. Annabel Sutherland led the charge with the ball, finishing with figures of 4-30 to rip through the batting order.
Megan Schutt also made her mark in the match, joining an elite club of bowling greats. She added another milestone to a career that has long set the standard for fast bowling in the women's game.
The chase was over in 25.4 overs, with Australia losing only three wickets. Litchfield set the tone at the top, and Sutherland finished unbeaten on 26 to complete a strong all-round day. Bangladesh will need to find answers quickly, because Australia look in ruthless form on home soil.
