Australia became the first team to qualify for the World Cup semi-finals after securing a 10-wicket win over Bangladesh. Here's how the points table stacks up.
Australia hammer Bangladesh to qualify for semi-finals
The defending champions remain unbeaten after Alyssa Healy's second consecutive century led them to a resounding win. Australia were short of their usual high standards in the field, but despite dropping several catches, they pegged Bangladesh back in the first innings. Even with strong performances from Rubya Haider and Sobhana Mostary, Bangladesh were only able to post 198-9 from their 50 overs. Their final five batters to fall were all out for single digit scores.
In response, healy dominated the run chase. She reached her hundred off 73 balls, hitting 20 fours in total in her innings. She was ably supported by Phoebe Litchfield, who finished unbeaten on 84. Australia reached their target with more than 25 overs to spare, Healy finishing not out on 113.
It's Healy's second century in four days on the same ground after she hit 142 against India. Those two innings have put her one behind Nat Sciver-Brunt, who currently holds the record for the most centuries scored in women's 50-over World Cups.
