Australia Storms into Semi-Finals with Crushing Win Over Bangladesh at CWC25 

The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 continues to deliver high-octane action, and Australia’s latest performance was nothing short of spectacular. In a commanding display of skill and dominance, the Aussies thrashed Bangladesh by ten wickets in Visakhapatnam, securing their spot in the semi-finals and sending a clear message to the rest of the competition.

Healy and Litchfield: A Masterclass in Batting

Opening the chase with confidence and flair, Alyssa Healy and Phoebe Litchfield put on a batting clinic. Healy’s unbeaten 113 off 77 balls, her second century of the tournament, was a dazzling mix of power and precision. Litchfield complemented her perfectly with 84 not out, and together they reached the target of 199 in just 24.5 overs. The duo’s partnership of 202 runs was a testament to Australia’s depth and experience.

Bangladesh’s Brave Effort Falls Short

Bangladesh showed grit with the bat, posting 198/9 thanks to Sobhana Mostary’s resilient 66* and Rubya Haider’s 44. A late flurry of runs added some respectability to the total, but it was never going to be enough against Australia’s firepower.

Aussie Bowlers Set the Tone

Before the batting fireworks, Australia’s bowlers laid the groundwork. Megan Schutt struck early, while Alana King and Georgia Wareham each picked up two wickets. Ashleigh Gardner and Annabel Sutherland also chipped in with two apiece, keeping Bangladesh under constant pressure.

What This Means for the Tournament

With this win, Australia climbed to the top of the points table, boasting nine points from five matches. Bangladesh, meanwhile, remains sixth with two points and will need a strong finish to stay in contention.
