Schutt’s control sets up Australia’s victory

Schutt delivered the defining performance of the Bangladesh Women tour of Australia 2026/27 finale, taking four wickets across 10 overs while conceding just 16 runs. Five maidens underlined her exceptional control: Bangladesh had to contend with both a wicket-taking threat and a bowler who offered precious few scoring opportunities.

Bangladesh were bowled out for 172 in 49.5 overs, with Shorna Akter’s 54 and Sharmin Akhter’s 50 providing the backbone of the innings. Their contributions accounted for 104 runs, more than 60 per cent of the total, while Disha Biswas added 13.

Those two half-centuries gave Bangladesh something to defend, but Schutt’s combination of wickets and economy ensured Australia entered the chase with a manageable target of 173.

Sutherland and Perry drive a rapid chase

Australia reached 175/2 in just 22.4 overs, leaving more than half of their allotted deliveries unused. Sutherland’s 74 was the highest individual score of the match, while Perry’s 65 supplied another substantial contribution. Together, their scores added up to 139 runs; Beth Mooney chipped in with 21.

Sultana Khatun and Disha Biswas claimed one wicket apiece for Bangladesh, but those breakthroughs could not put sufficient pressure on Australia’s chase. The hosts combined substantial individual scores with a brisk scoring rate to finish the contest with 164 balls to spare.

Australia complete a dominant ODI series

The eight-wicket victory sealed a 3-0 clean sweep in the three-match ODI series. Australia had won the opening ODI on October 8 by seven wickets with 146 balls remaining, then followed it with a nine-wicket victory on October 10 with 131 balls unused.

The finale delivered their largest margin of the series in terms of deliveries remaining. Across all three ODIs, Bangladesh could not force Australia into a demanding finish, and the hosts closed the tour’s ODI programme with another emphatic chase.
