DHAKA, April 4, 2024 (BSS)- After being swept in ODI series, Bangladesh 
Women's team suffered same fate against mighty Australia in the three-match 
T20 International series too when they tasted a thumping 77-run defeat in the 
third and final match at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium today.

The hosts were whacked past by 10 wickets in the first T20 before 58-run 
defeat in the second game despite a record hat-trick of Fariha Trisna. While 
they were able to get past 100 runs at least in those two matches, they were 
bowled out for 78 in 18.1 overs after Australia posted 155-6 in the third 
game.

Skipper Alyssa Healy was the top-scorer for the side with 29 ball-45, an 
innings studded with six fours and two sixes while Tahlia McGrath was not out 
on 43 after hitting two fours and as many sixes from 29 balls.

Nahida Akter who claimed 3-31 from four overs, stifled Australia halfway 
through the innings before Tahlia paced the innings to help the side get past 
150-run mark. Shorifa Khatun and Rabeya Khan took one wicket apiece.

Trisna who achieved a hat-trick feat in the last match went wicket-less in 
this game.

Tayla Vlaeminck claimed 3-12 from four overs to wreck havoc on Bangladesh 
women's team, forcing them to loss wickets at regular intervals. Georgia 
Wareham complemented him with two wickets of just one run.

Skipper Nigar Sultana Joty made the team-high 32 off 31 with five fours. 
Opener Dilara Akter made 12 while Fahima Khatun added 11.
 
Australia Women's team earlier beat Bangladesh by 118 runs in the first ODI, 
by six wickets in the second match and by eight wickets in the third game.
