8.28 pm Australia have only played Bangladesh once in Women's T20Is before today and that was an 86-run thumping at the last T20 World Cup in Australia when Healy scored 83 and Mooney 81 not out in a first innings total of 189 for 1. It's highly unlikely that Bangladesh will be able to contain them in this chase, but you never know. Stick with us for the start of the reply shortly.

Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana Joty: "It's a little disappointing because I should have finished and it would have been better for the team. We lost early wickets and I just went in and tried to bat for the team. It's a very nice deck to bat on. We had a hard time so I just tried to build a partnership. [Shorna] is so young coming from the U19 side so I just told her to rotate the strike, not panic and I'll do the rest. We have a good bowling unit and will try to give them some pressure."

Schutt to Marufa Akter, 1 run, length ball is slapped to long-on for one. The fielder had a long way to go to collect it and a second run looked very possible but for some reason Ritu Moni never bothered to turn back for a second despite it being the last ball of the innings.

Marufa to face the final ball.

Schutt to Nahida Akter, OUT, full and straight on middle, misses a flick across the line getting hit on the back leg with the back knee flexing and a huge lbw shout is upheld. Nahida is eager to walk off very briskly because this is stone dead but then realizes that there's only one ball left in the innings so turns around and signals for a review. This one is never getting overturned though. Three reds light up with ball-tracking taking out the middle of middle and leg stump.
