Healy and Mooney blast Australia past Bangladesh

Australia strolled to back-to-back victories at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup as a potent opening partnership between Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney helped beat Bangladesh by 86 runs.

Healy’s return to form continued as she made a carefree 83 to hit the top of the tournament’s run-scoring charts, ably supported by Mooney who ended unbeaten on 81.

Sri Lanka gave them a fright three days earlier but there were no such scares for the hosts as Bangladesh only managed 103 for nine in reply and Meg Lanning’s side climbed to second in Group A.

Scores:

Australia 189-1 (20) (Alyssa Healy 83, Beth Mooney 81 n.o.; Salma Khatun 1-39)

Bangladesh 103-9 (20) (Fargana Hoque Pinky 36; Megan Schutt 3-21, Jess Jonassen 2-17)
