    Australia captain Alyssa Healy: "Bangladesh have proven that they are hard to remove at times. I was a little bit poor behind the stumps but we take the two points and move on."

    On juggling her roles: "It is so hard to juggle everything sometimes but I deal with it as I go. I really enjoy the challenge of it but I wasn't great with the gloves today.

    "We go to a different venue after this and we will be up for England next."

    On Alana King: "It was amazing from her. Her ability to attack both sides of the bat is impressive. It was nice to see her dominate with the ball today and she got the reward."

    On Georgia Wareham and Darcie Brown: "They were also great. Darcie was great up front and created some oomph in the game. We will consider who will go up against England."

    On her partnership with Phoebe Litchfield: "Pheebs takes so much pressure off me and we do it together. When it comes off, it is awesome. Hopefully that gives us both confidence going into the end of the tournament.

    "We pride ourselves on being professional in big moments and it is great to find out that we have qualified!"

    Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana Joty: "We started well and we didn't lose a wicket in the powerplay. After that, we kept losing wickets and could not build a partnership.

    "In these conditions, we should have got more runs. It cost us not batting as a unit today and that cost us the game."

    On Rubya Haider Jhilik: "We wanted to see how she was doing as a keeper and today was a good game for that. We just tried it out.

    "It was a bad day for the bowlers and a rough one. We are better than this."

    On Sri Lanka: "It is important to recover and we have to learn and rectify our mistakes. We have some positives to take as well."

    Litchfield's smash down the ground for four wraps up Australia win

    Today's 199 is the second highest score chased without the loss of a wicket in women's ODIs.

    You wouldn't be surprised to learn Australia hold first place on the list too. They chased 218 without losing a wicket to beat Ireland in 2023.

    Alyssa Healy says she didn't even know Australia had qualified as a result of this win.

    "We are better than this," says Bangladesh skipper Nigar Sultana Joty. They have two games left and still have an outside chance of finishing in the top four though it would take them beating India.

    Australia spinner Alana King, who was named player of the match after taking 2-18: "I was really happy with how the ball was coming out. We really wanted to be disciplined and I was happy to play my part to keep them to a reasonable score.

    "There was some spin in the last game and length was always going to be key. We wanted to focus on bowling our strengths in this game."

    On her bowling performance: "I need to be really relaxed at the top of my mark and we make sure we have the right plans to the right batters.

    "The beauty of this team is, if it is not someone's day we have someone else to pick up the slacks. We have great communication between us all and we want the best for each other and we pride ourselves on that.

    "It is always nice having the 'Q' next to your name in a World Cup and we look forward to more entertaining cricket."

    The funny thing was Australia's fielding was actually a bit dodgy and they still won by a massive margin.

    It'll probably only motivate them to be better against England in their next match.

    This was a clear assertion of dominance from Australia.

    Bangladesh were far too slow and never looked sharp in the field. They were sluggish and lack-lustre and Australia took advantage of that.

    We knew it was going to happen eventually but that win also secures Australia's place in the semi-finals with two games to spare.

    They are top of the table on nine points and four teams can no longer finish above them because of the remaining fixtures.
