CWC25: Bangladesh Suffers 10-Wicket Loss to Australia; Joty Blames Batting for 4th Straight Defeat

Ouch. That one had to sting. Bangladesh just got handed a brutal 10-wicket defeat by Australia in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 on Thursday, and captain Nigar Sultana Joty is not holding back. This loss, their fourth in a row, has left the team reeling and searching for answers.

Key Takeaways

  • Australia crushed Bangladesh by 10 wickets on October 16 in Visakhapatnam.
  • Captain Nigar Sultana Joty cited poor and inconsistent batting as the main reason for the loss.
  • This marks Bangladesh’s fourth consecutive defeat in the tournament, placing them seventh in the table.
  • Australia secured their semi-final spot with this dominant win.
  • Bangladesh’s next crucial match is against Sri Lanka on October 20.

What Went Wrong Against Australia?

Look, there’s no other way to say it. After choosing to bat first, Bangladesh just couldn’t build any momentum. They were restricted to 198 for nine, a score that was never going to challenge the mighty Aussies. Rubya Haider tried with 44 runs, and Sobhana Mostary fought hard for her unbeaten 60-plus runs, but where were the partnerships?

Then came the chase. Australia made it look like a practice session. Alyssa Healy smashed an unbeaten 113 while Phoebe Litchfield cruised to 84. They chased down 199 in just 24.5 overs. Without losing a single wicket. Yeah, you read that right.

So Close, Yet So Far

But here’s the frustrating part for fans. Just a few days ago, on October 13, Bangladesh showed so much heart against South Africa. They put up a solid 232/6, powered by Shorna Akter’s electrifying 51 off just 35 balls, which was the fastest half-century of the entire tournament.

They ended up losing by a narrow three wickets, but they fought tooth and nail. Joty later said she was proud of the team’s spirit in that game, but mentioned that heavy dew made it tough for the bowlers and they dropped some crucial catches. It was a classic ‘what if’ game.

The Captain’s Verdict

After the Australia game, Joty laid it all out. She pointed directly at the “inconsistent batting” as the core problem. It’s not just one game, it’s a pattern. The team has struggled to build substantial partnerships throughout the tournament.

To make matters worse, they were missing key bowlers Nahida Akter and Marufa Akter, which definitely didn’t help their cause. But honestly, even with them, 198 was never going to be enough against a team that just secured its spot in the semi-finals.

Where Do They Go From Here?

With just one win against Pakistan and four straight losses, Bangladesh is now seventh in the points table. Their campaign is on life support. Their next match is against Sri Lanka on October 20 in Navi Mumbai.

It’s more than just another game. It’s a chance to salvage some pride and prove they can put together a complete performance. Can they finally fix their batting woes and end this losing streak? Let us know what you think.
