Leg spinner shows allrounder potential with quickfire 57 before tourists restrict home side to 103 for 2-0 series lead

Leg spinner shows allrounder potential with quickfire 57Georgia Wareham has shown why Australia’s selectors view her as a future allrounder, hitting her first international half-century in a 58-run Twenty20 win over Bangladesh.

The spinner then claimed 1-24 from her four overs, as the tourists kept Bangladesh to 9-103 to take a 2-0 lead in the three-match series.Long viewed as a potential allrounder by selectors given her potential with the bat and ability in the field, Wareham was at her best with the willow on Tuesday.Three consecutive boundaries came off Shorna Akter, Wareham moving across the crease to pull the spinner for two fours and then cutting her for another.

With the ball, Wareham sent down a maiden first over and bowled Dilara Akter in her second when the right-hander went back to pull her.Molineux’s figures continue a brilliant tour for the spinner, who has now taken 10 wickets across two one-day internationals and two T20s after being selected ahead of Jess Jonassen.
