Despite maintaining their unbeaten run in the league stage of the ongoing ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, Australia had a big scare in their recent win against Bangladesh on Friday. Chasing a target of 136 runs, Australia lost five wickets for just 72 runs. It was only after the arrival of Beth Mooney that the world no. 1 team managed to get past the finishing line. After the match, captain Meg Lanning stated that her team was put under pressure. The skipper was also dismissed for an eight-ball duck, losing her wicket to spinner Salma Khatun. On the fourth delivery of the eighth over, Khatun tossed up a delivery, on off stump. Lanning tried to defend it but it passed the outside edge to hit the off stump. Such was the brilliance of the delivery that the commentator exclaimed, "That has gone through the defenses of Meg Lanning!"
