    Here is Australia's winning moment...

  3. 'Georgia is a gamechanger'published at 19:58 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2023

    Australia captain Meg Lanning: "It was great to see Georgia back after a long time out with a serious injury, I was pumped to see her back, she's a gamechanger.

    "It is nice to know we're playing in the same conditions for the next two games and it was challenging at times tonight. We know we can get better."

    Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana Joty: "The way Marufa is improving, she doesn't look like she's 18. She is so mature and bowled really well against some world-class batters.

    "We're looking to play good cricket for the rest of the tournament but we need to improve our batting. In the last five overs today, we didn't get as many boundaries as we wanted."

    Player of the match Georgia Wareham: "It is pretty special any time you get to play for your country so to do it in a World Cup and take wickets is pretty cool.

    "There was a little bit of spin there today but I think i was also nice to bat on. If you spend a little bit of time out there it easier.

    "It is an honour to play for my country and it is really cool for the selectors to back me and come into this World Cup having not played much cricket.

    "It [the atmosphere] is unbelievable. The band were really loud, you couldn't really hear yourself think."

    Marufa Akter is definitely one to watch for the future. I was particularly impressed that against the star-studded Australia she wasn't phased at all. It is fantastic to see.

    I must say, as an England fan, I am encouraged by this Australia performance.

    I am so used to watching them dominate from ball one and I haven't seen them bat like this for a long time.

    Obviously we still have a job to do in our group and if we come up against Australia it won't be straightforward.

    It's a boundary to finish the job!

    Ash Gardner sweeps it behind square leg and the ball races to the ropes. It's a quick outfield too.

    Bangladesh made Australia work for their victory but Meg Lanning's side make it two wins from two.

  10. Aus 106-2published at 18 overs

    Meg Lanning plays her classic shot off of Nahida Akter last ball. She pierces the gap between the fielders at cover to the ropes.

    She looks relieved!

    Bangladesh have done incredibly well tonight, they've made it difficult for Australia to score freely.

  12. Aus 99-2published at 17 overs

    Marufa Akter has a trademark hop before she bowls.

    The first ball is wide and Meg Lanning capitalises, hitting it behind point towards the ropes for four.

    The last ball whistles past Lanning's bat to the wicketkeeper but there's nothing on it.

    Australia have struggled through the middle phase and it is almost as if they have struggled against the slower bowling because they are used to pace.

    Australia need 16 runs to win

    Things have really slowed down for Australia with only three more runs added to the total.

  16. Aus 89-2published at 15 overs

    A great over from Marufa Akter! Ashleigh Gardner and Meg Lanning can't seem to find the gap between the covers.

    Only three runs off this over.

    There has been one boundary in the last seven overs. They are not making it easy for Australia.

    The worm shows Australia are 12 runs ahead of Bangladesh. Australia are 86 for 2 after 14 overs. At the same stage Bangladesh were 74 for 3.
  18. Aus 87-2published at 14 overs

    Bangladesh aren't making this easy for Australia. Rumana Ahmed's over ends in singles.

    Marufa is back. Can she get another wicket?

    Alyssa Healy was looking to go over cover but she wasn't able to generate the pace to do that. There isn't much pace in the wicket or from the bowlers.

    Healy c Joty b Shorna 37 (Aus 78-2)

    Got her!

    It's the big wicket of Alyssa Healy. The opener took a step forward hoping to go over cover but there wasn't enough on it and Nigar Sultana Joty takes the catch.

    In comes Ashleigh Gardner.
