Bangladesh women's cricket team dished out another helpless batting effort as they succumbed to a 77-run defeat at the hands of Australia in the third and final T20I of the three-match series in Mirpur on Thursday. 

Chasing a 156-run target, the Tigresses were bundled out for 78, giving the visitors a 3-0 clean sweep in the T20I series. 

Batting first, Australia managed to post 155, courtesy of a 29-ball 45 from skipper Alyssa Healy and 29-ball 43 from Tahlia McGrath. Left-arm spinner Nahida Akter scalped three wickets for 31 runs for the Tigresses. 

In reply, Bangladesh failed to put up a fight and captain Nigar Sultana Joty's 31-ball 32 was the only highlight of the innings. Aussie pacer Tayla Vlaeminck starred with three wickets, while Georgia Wareham scalped two. 

The visitors also cruised to a clean sweep in the three-match ODI series before the T20Is.
