Megan Schutt becomes third Australian woman to claim 150 ODI wickets

Experienced fast bowler Megan Schutt reached a major career milestone during the opening match of the series against Bangladesh by capturing her 150th one-day international wicket. The veteran Australian seamer accomplished the feat in the third over at Allan Border Field on October 9, 2026, after dismissing opening batter Fargana Hoque with the very first delivery and subsequently trapping Sharmin Sultana leg-before-wicket for her landmark dismissal.

This achievement places her twelfth overall in the history of the women's format, leaving her behind fellow Australians Ellyse Perry and Cathryn Fitzpatrick in national standings.

Following Schutt's early breakthroughs, the bowling unit efficiently restricted the touring side to a total of 166. Annabel Sutherland led the attack with four dismissals, while Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, and Georgia Wareham each claimed a single scalp.

Ritu Moni provided the primary resistance for Bangladesh with a top score of 45 batting from the number seven position, standing alone as the only visiting batter to surpass the thirty-run threshold.
