Complete Match-by-Match Scorecard Timeline

The full Bangladesh women vs Australia women’s national cricket team timeline covers ten matches across five different venues in four countries. Here is every game, every key performer, and every turning point.

2020: ICC Women’s T20 World Cup- Canberra

Match 1- February 27, 2020 | Manuka Oval, Canberra | T20I

Australia 189/1 (20 overs)
Alyssa Healy: 83 off 53 balls | Beth Mooney: 81* off 58 balls
Salma Khatun: 1/39

Bangladesh 103/9 (20 overs)
Fargana Hoque: 36 | Nigar Sultana: 19
Megan Schutt: 3/21 | Jess Jonassen: 2/17 | Nicola Carey: 1 wicket

Result: Australia won by 86 runs
Player of the Match: Alyssa Healy (83 off 53)

This was the first-ever meeting between these two sides, and it immediately established the power dynamic that would define all future matches. Healy and Mooney’s 151-run opening stand was Australia’s highest first-wicket partnership for any wicket in Women’s T20 World Cup history at that point. Bangladesh’s top three- Murshida Khatun (8), Shamima Sultana (13), and Sanjida Islam (3)- were dismissed within the first 6 overs, reducing the chase to 26/3 before it had begun. Schutt’s 3/21 then made Bangladesh’s lower order recovery impossible. The power-play collapse was the defining tactical moment of this match- and it would become a recurring theme in the rivalry.

2022: ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup- Wellington

Match 2- March 25, 2022 | Basin Reserve, Wellington | ODI

Bangladesh 135/6 (43 overs, DLS-reduced)
Lata Mondal: 33
Jess Jonassen: 2/13 | Ashleigh Gardner: 2/20

Australia 136/5 (32.1 overs)
Beth Mooney: 66* | Annabel Sutherland: 26*
Nahida Akter: 2 wickets | Jahanara Alam: 1 wicket

Result: Australia won by 5 wickets (DLS)
Player of the Match: Beth Mooney (66*)

This is the most competitive match in the entire Bangladesh women vs Australia women’s national cricket team timeline. Rain reduced the game, but Bangladesh’s bowlers- led by Nahida Akter and Jahanara Alam- created genuine pressure. Australia wobbled, losing 5 wickets and requiring 32.1 of their allocated overs to chase a modest DLS target. Bangladesh was not far from forcing a genuine upset here. Their 135/6 on a slow Basin Reserve pitch was respectable. It was Mooney’s calm unbeaten 66 that settled the Australian nerves, not dominant batting. This result, above all others, shows Bangladesh is capable of competing- the gap is smaller than a 10-0 head-to-head record suggests.

2023: ICC Women’s T20 World Cup- Gqeberha

Match 3- February 14, 2023 | St George’s Park, Gqeberha | T20I

Bangladesh 107/7 (20 overs)
Nigar Sultana: 25 | Murshida Khatun: 22

Australia 111/2 (18.2 overs)
Beth Mooney: 49* | Alyssa Healy: 38

Result: Australia won by 8 wickets
Player of the Match: Beth Mooney (49*)

Bangladesh posted 107/7- their second-best T20I total in this rivalry– and still lost by 8 wickets with 10 balls to spare. Australia chased it with Mooney anchoring again, building a platform inside the power-play that Bangladesh’s bowlers could not disrupt. The key tactical gap in women’s cricket T20 matches between these sides is consistent: once the Australian opening pair settles, Bangladesh have no bowling plan capable of creating wickets in the middle overs.

2024: Australia Women’s Tour of Bangladesh- ODI Series (First-Ever Bilateral Series)

March 2024 marked a historic milestone: the first-ever bilateral series between Bangladesh Women and Australia Women, played in Mirpur as part of the ICC Women’s Championship.

Match 4- 1st ODI, March 21, 2024 | Mirpur

Australia 213/7 (50 overs)
Alyssa Healy: 65 | Beth Mooney: 39

Bangladesh 95 (36 overs)- lowest ODI total in this rivalry
Fargana Hoque: 21

Result: Australia won by 118 runs
Player of the Match: Alyssa Healy (65)

Match 5- 2nd ODI, March 24, 2024 | Mirpur

Bangladesh 97 (44.1 overs)- second-lowest ODI total in this rivalry

Result: Australia won by 6 wickets

Match 6- 3rd ODI, March 27, 2024 | Mirpur

Result: Australia won by 8 wickets

Bangladesh were twice dismissed under 100 runs on their own home pitch- a surface specifically suited to spin-heavy batting. Australia’s pace attack, led by Schutt, proved more adaptable to Mirpur conditions than Bangladesh’s batters. The home advantage that Bangladesh regularly exploited against Asian sides did not apply against this Australian bowling lineup.

2024: Australia Women’s Tour of Bangladesh- T20I Series

Match 7- 1st T20I, March 29, 2024 | Mirpur

Bangladesh 126 (20 overs)

Australia 127/0 (12.4 overs)
Alyssa Healy: 65 off 42 balls | Beth Mooney: 55 off 36 balls

Result: Australia won by 10 wickets (42 balls remaining)
Player of the Match: Alyssa Healy (65 off 42)

Australia chased 127 in just 67 deliveries without losing a wicket. This is the fastest chase in the Bangladesh women vs Australia women’s national cricket team timeline by balls consumed. Healy and Mooney did not face a single difficult moment across the entire innings.

Match 8- 2nd T20I, April 1, 2024 | Mirpur

Bangladesh 97 (20 overs)

Result: Australia won by 58 runs

Match 9- 3rd T20I, April 3, 2024 | Mirpur

Bangladesh 78 (20 overs)- lowest T20I total in this rivalry

Result: Australia won by 77 runs

Bangladesh’s 78 in the third T20I remains the lowest total posted by either side across all ten matches in this rivalry.

2025: ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup- Visakhapatnam

Match 10- October 16, 2025 | ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam | ODI

Bangladesh 198/9 (50 overs)- highest total in this rivalry
Sobhana Mostary: 66* | Rubya Haider: 44
Georgia Wareham: 2/22 | Alana King: 2/18

Australia 202/0 (24.5 overs)- highest winning total in this rivalry
Alyssa Healy: 113* off 77 balls (20 fours) | Phoebe Litchfield: 84*

Result: Australia won by 10 wickets
Player of the Match: Alyssa Healy (113* off 77)

This result sealed Australia’s place in the semi-finals of the 2025 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup. Bangladesh’s 198/9 was their highest-ever total against Australia- and it still resulted in a 10-wicket loss. The 202* The unbroken opening stand between Healy and Litchfield is the highest partnership recorded in any match between these two sides. Healy’s 113* was her second consecutive century of that tournament, and her innings included 20 boundaries in just 77 deliveries- a strike rate of 146.75.

Tactical Patterns: What the Data Shows

Three patterns repeat across the full Bangladesh women vs Australia women’s national cricket team timeline. Understanding them explains why the head-to-head stands at 10-0- and what Bangladesh must solve before that changes.

Power-Play Batting Collapse Is Bangladesh’s Primary Weakness

In the 2020 T20 World Cup, Bangladesh lost three top-order wickets inside 6 overs for 26/3– Murshida Khatun (8), Shamima Sultana (13), and Sanjida Islam (3) all dismissed cheaply against Schutt’s swing. In the 2024 ODI series, Bangladesh were dismissed for 95 and 97 in back-to-back games at home in Mirpur, where pitch conditions are tailored for their own batting. The data is consistent: Bangladesh’s top order does not have a reliable plan against moving deliveries at the start of an innings.

Australia’s Opening Partnership Decides Chases Before the Middle Overs

The Healy-Mooney 151-run stand in 2020 and the Healy-Litchfield 202* in 2025 are the bookends of Australia’s batting dominance in women’s ODI cricket against Bangladesh. In four of the five Australian run-chases in this rivalry, Bangladesh have taken zero wickets before the target was reached. The absence of a wicket-taking bowling option in the first 10 overs against set Australian openers is Bangladesh’s most significant tactical deficit- more than any batting or fielding issue.

Bangladesh’s Batting Ceiling Has Improved- Bowling Has Not Kept Pace

198/9 in Visakhapatnam 2025 is proof that Bangladesh can bat. It is their second-highest ODI total in any match, against any opponent, at that time. The problem is not that they cannot score runs. The problem is that their bowling has not developed at the same rate- Australia chased 199 in 24.5 overs without losing a single wicket. The real performance gap in this rivalry is in Bangladesh’s inability to take wickets under pressure, not in their batting development.

Bangladesh Women Tour of Australia 2026

The next chapter of the Bangladesh women vs Australia women’s national cricket team timeline is set to begin on Australian soil. Bangladesh Women are scheduled to play 3 ODIs in Australia starting October 9, 2026 at Allan Border Field, Brisbane. The T20I leg of the original tour schedule was removed following a fixture conflict with the rescheduled ICC Women’s Champions Trophy. These ODIs are part of the ICC Women’s Championship cycle, meaning World Cup qualification points are directly at stake. Australia’s fast, bouncy home surfaces at Brisbane will test Bangladesh’s top-order batters against short-pitch deliveries in a way that Mirpur or Visakhapatnam never has. This series will be the most significant bilateral women’s cricket encounter between these nations to date.
