2:27 PM IST, 2:57 PM Local Time: Australia complete a brilliant whitewash against Bangladesh defeating the hosts in the final T20I by 77 runs. Alyssa Healy starred with the bat with Tayla Vlaeminck picking career best T20I figures of 3/12 to dismiss Bangladesh for just 78 after Australia won the toss and put up 155/6 on the board.
There were no big partnerships for the hosts as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals from the start of the chase. Skipper Nigar Sultana batting at number 7 top scored yet again with 32 in 31 balls. Only 3 other batters scored into double digits. Opener Dilara Akter the 2nd highest scorer with 12 in 18 balls.
Megan Schutt struck in the very first over with Vlaeminck dismissing Ritu Moni, Fahima Khatun and Shorifa Khatun in her wonderful spell. Georgia Wareham conceded a single and picked up 2 wickets including the skipper. Rest of the bowlers picked up a wicket apiece offering nothing to the Bangladeshi batters.

Tayla Vlaeminck (Player of the Match): "I had a great time with all the girls. When you contribute and take wickets, its always good fun.
I was lucky to have good support. Lot of friends in Victoria and family as well. Its always a dream playing in a World Cup. Fingers crossed I can keep playing well and put my name up for selection."

Sophie Molineux (Player of the Series): "It’s been a series worth remembering. Different from what we play at home. Just great to be here and learn something new every time. Plenty of experience players who have shown their support as well as the NCA. Last few months have been nice and we’re looking forward to the World Cup as well."
Alyssa Healy (Australia Captain): "No complaints at all, it’s been a worthwhile tour for us. The hospitality has been top notch. We are doing a lot of things right with both bat and ball. That’s something I’m really proud of before we head back over here for the T20 World Cup in September. We have a good break now before we’re back for the huge summer. They’re (Bangladesh) an outstanding team and they can prove to be a threat in the World Cup."
Alyssa Healy collects the series trophy and is joined by her teammates.
