Georgia Voll smashes quickfire ton as Aussies wrap up Bangladesh series

Australia secured a commanding nine-wicket victory over Bangladesh in their ODI series, clinching an unassailable 2-0 lead at Allan Border Field. Australia's Georgia Voll delivered a masterclass with an unbeaten 131 from 97 balls, setting a new record for the highest individual women's ODI score at the venue. This performance marked Voll's third ODI century in her mere 15th match, propelling Australia to a comfortable win in 28.1 overs.

The match also saw Sobhana Mostary, Bangladesh's top scorer, posting an innings of 118 off 134 deliveries, which became the foundation for Bangladesh's total of 6-220. Mostary's partnership with Nigar Sultana, totaling 195 runs, stands as the highest partnership against Australia in women's ODIs. However, Voll and Phoebe Litchfield's explosive opening partnership of 162 runs in just 119 balls was the game-changer, outplaying Bangladesh's chase and securing Australia's series victory.
