00:01Bangladesh's decision to bat first initially didn't look a bad one.
00:06Four of the first five batters got starts with Rubiah Hader being the initial anchor.
00:11But when she fell on 44, Bangladesh would suffer a collapse.
00:15Shobana Mastri's unbeaten 66 would save Bangladesh from a more dramatic collapse.
00:25Australia's spinners suffocated Bangladesh with three of them grabbing two wickets apiece.
00:30Bangladesh were restricted to just 198 for nine of their 50 overs.
00:35The defending champs knew victory would secure a semi-final spot
00:39and they left nothing to chance in their run chase.
00:43Alyssa Healy and Phoebe Litchfield opened the batting and were determined to close it too.
00:48Healy in the form of Alive needed only 73 balls to raise her sentry, her second in as many matches.
00:54The target was just too small for Litchfield to get her sentry
01:00as she also remained unbeaten on 84 as Australia outclassed Bangladesh by 10 wickets
01:06getting to 202 to cruise into the semi-finals.
