    Marufa Akter isn't the only Bangladesh player lighting up this World Cup. Check out the best shots from Nigar Sultana Joty's half-century.

    The final ball of Marufa Akter's excellent over finds the outside edge of Lanning's bat but it falls short of the diving fielder at slip.

    Hang on! Let's put that in context, they did retire out Alyssa Healy and Tahlia McGrath, who had made half-centuries.

    Do you think Australia are getting a little nervy? They did lose to Ireland in that warm-up game...

    That is a fantastic piece of bowling and it is an excellent catch.

    Marufa Akter is on fire. She is the teenage sensation that is lighting up this World Cup.

    Mooney c Fahima b Marufa 2 (Aus 9-1)

    I told you something was brewing! It's a straight ball from Marufa Akter and Mooney gets a thick outside edge which goes straight to Fahima Khatun at first slip.

    Wonderful bowling from the teenager!

  8. Aus 9-0published at 2.2 overs

    Teenager Marufa Akter is back into the attack.

    I feel like there might be something brewing...

    The drop and run was done expertly by Beth Mooney there. That is what Bangladesh needed to do.

  10. Aus 8-0published at 2 overs

    It's a slow start for Australia so far, just four singles from Salma Khatun's over.

    These two sides last met in the World Cup in Australia three years ago, so Alyssa Healy might not have seen her before.

    I think Marufa is going to be something quite special. She comes bounding in with real fire.

    To start us off is Marufa Akter, who got all three of Bangladesh's wickets in their game against Sri Lanka.

    The final ball flies off Alyssa Healy's bat towards mid-wicket for four. It was a bit too full from Marufa and she looks frustrated to end the over that way.

    Thank you Callum!

    Australia are tournament favourites and by that performance you can see why.

    A great comeback for Georgia Wareham too.

    If Australia win they'll return to the top of Group 1 but can Bangladesh cause an upset?

  15. Postpublished at 18:30 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2023

    You'd expect Australia to chase 108, wouldn't you? Probably with a fair bit in hand too.

    Aymen Babar will take you through the chase.

    Georgia Wareham was the pick of the Australia bowlers on her return to the team.

    She's not played international cricket for 16 months because of a knee injury.

    Her first ball was sent for four but the leggy responded well to finish with 3-20.

    It was really an innings that was defined by Nigar Sultana Joty. A magnificent half-century but she couldn't get the support at the other end.

    A single down the ground from the final ball.

    Bangladesh finish 107-7 from their 20 overs.

    Australia will need 108 to go two from two in Group 1.

    Out.

    Smashing into middle-leg stump.

    One ball left. Good luck, Marufa Akter.
