Opener Georgia Voll smashed her third ODI century in just her 15th match to secure Australia a comfortable nine-wicket win over Bangladesh and a series victory.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Bangladesh centurion Sobhana Mostary played one of the great ODI knocks to lift the visitors to 220-6 as records tumbled at Brisbane\u2019s Allan Border Field.<\/p>\n Mostary, 24, made a magnificent 118 off 134 deliveries and with her captain Nigar Sultana (74no off 114) added 195 for the fourth wicket \u2013 the highest partnership against Australia in women\u2019s ODI history.<\/p>\n But making a mockery of the run chase, Voll and Phoebe Litchfield added 162 off just 119 deliveries in an opening stand that combined brute strength and creativity to the maximum, setting Australia up for an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.<\/p>\n Litchfield (70 off 51) played strokes all around the ground in her entertaining knock while Voll\u2019s power game came to the fore as she bludgeoned anything loose. Voll\u2019s unbeaten 131 off 97 deliveries became the highest individual women\u2019s ODI total at the venue, breaking a record Mostary had equalled only hours earlier.<\/p>\n The player of the match\u2019s strong bottom hand came to the fore and she was also dominant through cover when given width as Australia coasted to victory in 28.1 overs. Voll, 23, became the first woman to score two ODI centuries at AB Field after making 101 against India at the venue in 2024.<\/p>\n \u201cI love batting out there with Phoebe and to have a partnership and get the team off to a good start was the most important thing,\u201d Voll said. \u201cI base my game off a power game and go through the gears. I look to hit the ball hard and straight early and take it on once I get in.\u201d<\/p>\n Mostary and Sultana\u2019s stand was the largest for any Bangladesh wicket in women\u2019s ODIs and was the foundation of the team\u2019s highest total against Australia. It was not enough to challenge Australia but it was achieved with immaculate strokeplay, tactical nous and plenty of courage.<\/p>\n
