Schutt stars as Aussies sweep Bangladesh in ODI series
A four-wicket haul from Megan Schutt and unbeaten half-centuries to Ellyse Perry and Annabel Sutherland secure Australia a 3-0 ODI series win over Bangladesh.
In an emphatic three-match ODI series, Australia swept Bangladesh by eight wickets at Allan Border Field. Megan Schutt delivered a standout performance, claiming 4-16 with the ball and earning her the accolades of player of the match and series. Australia's cohesive run chase, spearheaded by Ellyse Perry (65 not out off 64 deliveries) and Annabel Sutherland (74 not out off 52), resulted in a total of 172 all out.
The Bangladeshi team faltered early on, losing openers Georgia Voll (11) and Beth Mooney (21), who made her 100th ODI appearance but was dismissed by Bangladesh's debutant quick, Disha Biswas. From this point, Australia's bowlers, led by Schutt, took full control, leading to a dominant chase by Perry and Sutherland. Megan Schutt's exceptional bowling, with 10 overs and 10 wickets, marked her as the most successful bowler in ODI history at this venue, boasting 28 wickets in 14 matches.
Australian opener Phoebe Litchfield had to withdraw due to a hip strain and was replaced by all-rounder Nicola Carey.
