Australia coasted to an eight-wicket ODI win over Bangladesh to secure a clean sweep of the three-match series after fast bowler Megan Schutt set up the win with a lethal spell.
Ellyse Perry (65no off 64 deliveries) and Annabel Sutherland (74no off 52) added 137 for the third wicket to chase down the Bangladesh total of 172 all out inside 23 overs.
Australia lost openers Georgia Voll (11) and Beth Mooney (21) early in the run chase at Allan Border Field.
Mooney, in her 100th ODI match, was cleaned up by the second delivery in ODI cricket by Bangladesh debutant quick, Disha Biswas.
But from that moment it was plain sailing for the hosts as Perry and Sutherland went through the gears.
Earlier, Schutt, who was named player of the match and of the series, continued her love affair with Allan Border Field with another masterclass.
Schutt bowled an incredible 10 overs straight at the Brisbane venue to snare 4-16 to restrict Bangladesh after they were asked to bat first in the third and final ODI.
The 33-year-old Schutt, who bowled 53 dot balls in her spell, took her series haul to 10 wickets at a miserly average of 7.1.
She now has 28 wickets in 14 ODIs at her favourite venue, the most of any bowler in history.
Schutt has made a habit of taking early wickets in this series and she was at it again when removing Murshida Khartun (one) courtesy of a slick catch by Georgia Wareham in the gully in the third over.
Sarmin Sultana (six) hooked Schutt straight down Alana King’s throat and then in-form duo Nigar Sultana (three) and Sobhana Mostary (nine) both fell to the speedster.
Shramin Akhter (50) played a classy knock and enjoyed great support from 19-year-old allrounder Shorna Akter, whose 54 off 71 deliveries was her highest in ODIs.

Akter was dismissed by a brilliant stumping by wicketkeeper Mooney in her milestone match.
Earlier, opener Phoebe Litchfield was ruled out of the match with a low grade hip strain.
The star batter was replaced in the side by allrounder Nicola Carey.
Litchfield has been in elite form in the series, which Australia leads 2-0, with innings of 77 and 70.
During the latter knock on Sunday night she appeared to suffer the hip complaint and called for a trainer before continuing her innings.
Litchfield will be monitored ahead of the three-game T20 series against New Zealand which starts in Sydney on Tuesday.
Veteran Mooney will move up and open the innings, with Carey slated to bat at No.8.
