This extraordinary result completely reshapes the tournament, throwing Group A wide open and proving that in modern women's cricket, no team can be taken lightly. The victory marks Bangladesh's finest hour in international cricket and serves as inspiration for emerging cricketing nations worldwide.
The aftermath sees Australia facing serious questions about their campaign, while Bangladesh's women have etched their names into cricket folklore with a performance that will be discussed for generations.
