AUS-W vs BAN-W Match 9 Highlights - Leeds (17 June 2026)

Slightly shorter on off. Georgia Voll swivels and pulls it hard, but along the ground to deep square leg's left for a single.

OUT! SPECTACULAR CATCH! A moment of brilliance in the field by Ritu Moni. She is absolutely pumped up as Mooney falls. Fuller length, around off. Beth gives herself some room to smash it down the ground, but hits it off her toe end. The bat also twists at the point of contact and she chips it to the left of the mid off. Ritu Moni is alert to the situation as she flings herself in that direction and plucks the ball with both hands, just inches above the ground. Beth throws her head back in disappointment. Australia Women are 31/1, needing 47 runs from 92 balls.

BEATEN! Almost a first-baller for Perry! Straightens from the pitch, on a good length, just outside off. Ellyse Perry plays inside the line, loosely wafts at it and is beaten on the outside edge by a kitten-whisker.

 FOUR! Into the gap! Pitched fuller and outside off. Ellyse Perry opens the bat face at the last second and threads the backward point and short third gap perfectly to pick up her first runs through a boundary.

 FOUR! Perry gets cheeky now and adds four to her tally. Pitched-up delivery, around off, Ellyse Perry shuffles across the stumps and ramps this over the keeper's head for a boundary in front of the sight screen behind the stumps. 50 comes up for Australia Women!

PUT DOWN! Sobhana Mostary drops a sitter. Marufa is not pleased one bit and lets her frustration be known to the fielder. On a length, around off, Perry hits this from the middle of her bat but fails to keep it along the ground and hits it flat and straight to mid off.
