Australia plays Bangladesh in the last game of their three-game series on Wednesday at Allan Border Field. This will be Beth Mooney’s 100th ODI match. The 32-year-old is ninth on Australia’s all-time ODI run list with 3288 runs at an average of 49.81, including six hundreds. This makes him one of the most reliable players for the country in the 50-over game.
Beth Mooney is still driven by problems that haven’t been fixed since India beat Australia in the semi-finals of the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup. In a number of different competitions and formats, she has talked about her plans for the next few years and what she wants the Australian team to do.
Beth Mooney’s main goal is to reach the 2029 World Cup, but she is also considering staying in the sport until the 2032 Olympics. Cricket is set to return to the Olympics in 2032, which will be held in Brisbane, which is where Beth Mooney lives now. The 2028 Olympics will be held in Los Angeles.

In 2032, when she was 38 years old, Mooney said she wasn’t sure what her part was in that long-ago event. She agreed that longer careers in women’s cricket are now more likely than they were in the past because players get paid more and tournaments happen more often.
When Beth Mooney thinks about the future, she is most interested in how the 50-over game will change.
The new way of playing ODI cricket can be seen in the recent performances of Georgia Voll and Phoebe Litchfield, two up-and-coming batters. They scored 162 runs in 20 overs, which helped Australia beat Bangladesh by nine wickets in the second game of the series. Mooney talked about how excited she was about the future of the format and what that meant for her future participation.
