ICC Women's T20 World Cup: Australia equal record as Bangladesh stun Pakistan

Australia batters come to the fore to punish Netherlands

Beth Mooney struck 74 from 42 balls before retiring hurt while Ashleigh Gardner hit 58 off 42 deliveries Australia's batters raced to a record total of 219-6 in their overs after being in to bat at the toss.

Georgia Wareham offered no respite, hitting her first delivery for four and then Van der Woning for three boundaries in a row, as they reached 185 for three off 17 overs.

De Lange (2-39) dismissed Nicola Carey but couldn't prevent Wareham from hitting another pair of fours.

The scored past 200 in the 19th over, before Wareham skied to square-leg off Zwilling (3-52), out for 41 off 18 balls.

Annabel Sutherland (11 not out) and Sophie Molineux (7) helped tie England's ICC Women's T20 World Cup record score from the first game of the tournament.

Kim Garth struck early in the Netherlands chase, tempting Phebe Molkenboer into a drive with a ball that shaped away. The edge was taken by Voll, deputising behind the stumps in the absence of Mooney.

Heather Siegers (9) hit Garth (2/20) for the first boundary of the innings in the fourth over, but was trapped LBW two balls later after missing a pull shot.

The Netherlands reached 28 for two from the powerplay as they settled into their innings.

Captain Babette de Leede, playing her 100th T20I, hit boundaries off Wareham and Molineux, before Kalis struck Alana King for the Netherlands’ first six.

The Netherlands never threatened to chase the target, but De Leede and Kalis ensured that they put up a strong fight by rotating the strike and running hard.

The 100 was brought up in the 16th over, before Sutherland put down another diving chance off Kalis a few balls later.

A single brought up the Dutch skipper's half-century in the 18th, her second in three World Cup games, but Kalis couldn’t reach the same mark, bowled by Sutherland (1-23) for 44 in the final over.

The partnership was worth 96, with the Netherlands finishing on 121-3, 98 runs short of the target.

Bangladesh recover from batting trouble to beat Pakistan

Bangladesh recovered from 48-4 to post a total of 123-6 in their 20 overs thanks to 39 not out from Shorna Akter and 36 from captain Nigar Sultana Joty.

Pakistan were then restricted to 100-8 in their 20 as Bangldesh spin twins Sanjida Akter Meghla (3-21) and Nahida Akter (3-18) both took three wickets.

It is Bangladesh's second victory in three matches in the global tournament while Pakistan slipped to their third consecutive defeat.
