Australia crushes Bangladesh by 9 wickets in less than 10 overs at Women's T20
World Cup
LEEDS, England (AP) --- Australia restricted Bangladesh to 77-8 and won by nine
wickets in less than 10 overs in the Women's Twenty20 World Cup on Wednesday.
Australia reached 78-1 in 9.3 overs to go two for two, and next for the
six-time champion is newcomer the Netherlands on Saturday.
Georgia Voll responded to her duck on World Cup debut against South Africa with
an unbeaten 45 off 32 balls, including a six back over the bowler's head.
On a seamer's pitch at Headingley, Kim Garth took the first two Bangladesh
wickets in the powerplay including Juairiya Ferdous, who scored 50 against the
Netherlands but was pinned on 8.
Also taking two wickets were captain Sophie Molineux and Ellyse Perry, the
player of the match.
At 27-5 in the eighth over Bangladesh was at risk of eclipsing its own World
Cup record low total of 46. But it passed that mark in the 15th over.
"We have been looking for a few players like power hitters," captain Nigar
Sultana said. "It's pretty difficult to find batters like that."
