Beth Mooney will make her 100th ODI appearance when Australia takes on Bangladesh in the last game of their three-game series on Wednesday at Allan Border Field. The 32-year-old is presently eighth on Australia’s all-time ODI run list, having scored 3288 runs at an average of 49.81 and six hundreds, making him one of the country’s most dependable players in the 50-over format.
Beth Mooney is still motivated by unsolved issues after Australia’s loss to India in the semi-finals of the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup. She has expressed her long-term ambitions and aspirations for the Australian side in a variety of events and formats.
Beth Mooney’s main objective is to compete in the 2029 World Cup, but she is also considering extending her career until the 2032 Olympics. Cricket is planned to compete in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles and is expected to return for the 2032 Games in Brisbane, Beth Mooney’s current home city.

Mooney stated in 2032, at the age of 38, that she had no idea what her part had been in that distant episode. She noted that, in comparison to previous generations, long-term careers in women’s cricket are now more feasible due to higher pay and more consistent tournament scheduling.
When it comes to the future, Beth Mooney is particularly interested in the development of the 50-over game.
The recent heroics of rising stars Georgia Voll and Phoebe Litchfield, who combined for 162 runs in 20 overs in Australia’s nine-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the series’ second game, exemplify the new approach to ODI cricket. Mooney expressed her delight about the format’s future and the ramifications for her continued participation.
