Australia 161 for 8 (Wareham 57, Harris 47, Trisna 4-19, Nahida 2-21, Fahima 2-34) beat Bangladesh 103 for 9 (Dilara 27, Molineux 3-10, Gardner 3-27, Schutt 2-31) by 58 runs
Litchfield had missed out at the top of the order when she fell for 2 off 7 balls to continue a lean run of form since the India tour over Christmas. In 18 innings since then, taking in the multi-format series against South Africa, the WPL and this tour, she has a top score of 35.
Australia stumbled after Wareham departed, managing just 55 for 7 from the remaining 8.3 overs of their innings of which 39 came in a stand between Tahlia McGrath and Ellyse Perry.
Still, Australia's total proved well out of reach for Bangladesh although they started promisingly with 22 coming off the first two overs. But once the opening stand of 34 was broken by Megan Schutt, it was one-way traffic.
The final match of the series takes place on Thursday.
