That's it from me and Alex Malcolm on commentary today. Stay tuned for more post-match breakdowns from Canberra via Andrew McGlashan. Thanks for tuning in. I'm Peter Della Penna, take care!
Australia captain Meg Lanning: "It was certainly a good all-round performance. Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney set the tone for the day and right from the first ball you could tell we had a little bit more attacking nature about us. So it was a good all-round performance. It was something that we really needed. We were a little bit timid in the first few games. World Cups are all about big games and we want to be a part of them. It's sort of a knockout quarterfinal in a way. New Zealand are playing some good cricket so we're going to have to play well."
Bangladesh captain Salma Khatun: "Australia is a very good team. 190 target was a very big total. Australia bowlers had good length and line, my batsmen are not used to short balls. We're looking forward to New Zealand."
Alyssa Healy is Player of the Match: "We figured a lot of the subcontinent teams are gonna as slow as they can to us so we did a lot of practice on that in the nets yesterday and just had really clear plans in our heads as to what we were gonna do. It didn't feel easy batting out there but we put up a good total."
10:05 pm So it looks like India have managed to poke the bear. Australia come roaring back in their last two games against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to move into second place in Group A. They're on a collision course with New Zealand to decide second place in the group outright as both trail undefeated India.
