The 33-year-old right-arm seamer reached the milestone in the third over of the match by hitting an inswinger in front of the wicket of Sharmin Sultana to reach the milestone. Schutt had already set the tone at the beginning of the round and sent off Fargana Hoque on the first ball of the series.
This throw was erratic and lasted until first slip, giving Australia the instant breakthrough after winning the toss and electing to bowl first. Schutt has now become the 12th player in women’s ODI cricket to reach 150 wickets in the format. She joins Cathryn Fitzpatrick, who has 180 ODI wickets, and Ellyse Perry, who has 166, as the only Australians to achieve this feat.
Jhulan Goswami tops the all-time list with 255 ODI wickets. How did Australia beat Bangladesh for 166? Bangladesh were bowled out for 166 in the first ODI at Allan Border Field.
art from Schutt’s early double, Annabel Sutherland was the most destructive bowler for Australia with four wickets. Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath and Georgia Wareham contributed a wicket each to complete Bangladesh’s dismissal. Ritu Moni was the standout batsman for Bangladesh and top scorer with 45 runs from the seventh position.
She was the only Bangladesh batter to reach 30 in the innings, underlining how effective the Australian attack was in restricting the visitors throughout their attack. The disciplined bowling display reflected Australia’s dominance across all frontlines on the day. Where does Schutt’s tally rank in the all-time list of ODI wickets?
With 150 ODI wickets, Schutt now becomes the 12th player in history to reach this mark in women’s ODI cricket. Among Australians, only Fitzpatrick with 180 wickets and Perry with 166 wickets have taken more. Goswami’s tally of 255 remains the highest by any bowler in the format.
Schutt achieved the milestone at 33 years of age, reaching it in the third over of the first ODI against Bangladesh at Allan Border Field. The two wickets she claimed in that spell — Fargana Hoque off the opening delivery of the series and Sharmin Sultana for the landmark wicket — arrived in quick succession, making it a particularly memorable start to the series for the experienced seamer. Having now surpassed the 150-wicket mark, Schutt will look to close the g on Perry’s tally of 166 as Australia continue their ODI series against Bangladesh.
