Schutt stars as Aussies sweep Bangladesh in ODI series

Australia secured their series sweep over Bangladesh with an emphatic eight-wicket victory in the third and final ODI at Allan Border Field. The heroics of fast bowler Megan Schutt, who claimed 4-16, set the tone for the hosts' dominant performance. Ellyse Perry and Annabel Sutherland played crucial roles, with the latter making an unbeaten 74 off 52 deliveries to form a vital 137-run partnership with Perry.
