Australia’s Record Chase Stuns Bangladesh in a One-Sided Women’s World Cup 2025 Thriller
Australia’s batting display against Bangladesh was nothing short of brutal, and that’s exactly the word it deserves. The Ban W vs Aus W game in the Women’s World Cup 2025 has become a lesson in the art of dominance.
In pursuit of 199, they ended with 202/0 in only 24.5 overs. Alyssa Healy was uncontrolled, crushing 113* out of 77 balls, and was well supported by Phoebe Litchfield, who made 84* off 72 balls. Their opening record of 202 runs that remained unbroken utterly shattered the hopes of Bangladesh.
Earlier in the Women World cup, Bangladesh had demonstrated some potential. They hit 198 out of 50 overs, of which Sobhana Mostary made a calm 66 not out and Rubya Haider 44. It was the best overall result of Bangladesh against Australia in women ODIs, which was in itself a feat. For a while, it looked like they had a fighting score, but once Healy and Litchfield started connecting the ball sweetly, the chase turned into a walk in the park.
Australia’s bowlers had already done the groundwork. Alana King (2/18) and Georgia Wareham (2/22) were the pick of the attack, keeping Bangladesh quiet and forcing mistakes. Even though Australia dropped a few catches, it never really affected their control.

Amit Mishra’s Opinion
Watching this Women’s World Cup 2025 clash, I couldn’t help but admire how completely Australia took charge from start to finish. Their chase was not just powerful but also calm and measured.
The batting of Alyssa Healy and Phoebe Litchfield was so confident that no shot seemed to be difficult. They did not show any pressure despite having a couple of missed opportunities in the field previously. This is what makes this team so special because of their capacity to remain calm in all circumstances.
In the case of Bangladesh, it was not without good things to learn. The unbeaten 66 of Sobhana Mostary was a display of real maturity and stability in the middle overs provided by Rubya Haider. Nevertheless, the distinction in performance and efficiency was evident.
The Australian concentration, enthusiasm and appetite to win were remarkable. They did not simply run down an opponent. They were able to send a clear message that they are out to conquer any challenge that comes their way in the Women’s World Cup 2025.
