Bangladesh scored only 131/7 in their 20 overs. Remarkable work done by the Australian bowlers to restrict Bangladesh to 131. They never allowed them to get on top and the run-rate climbed over 6 only after the 16th over. Most batsmen got starts but none could score at a healthy strike rate, all of them struggled to cope with Australia’s discipline. Naim, Shakib, Mahmudullah all went past 20 but it was Afif‘s innings that has given some respectability to the total. The slower balls are gripping and Bangladesh have a plethora of slow bowling options. Can they put the squeeze on the inexperienced Australian batting line-up and record their first T20I win against them? Or will Australia cruise through the target. Shakib Al Hasan scored 36 of 33 balls and Mohammad Naim scored 30 of 29 balls. For Australia Josh Hazlewood pick 3 wickets for 24 runs in his 4 overs quota.
Bangladesh set Australia a target of 132 🎯
The visitors come up with a disciplined bowling performance as Josh Hazlewood returns with figures of 3/24.
Will they chase this total down?#BANvAUS | https://t.co/6jfqTkj9dy pic.twitter.com/D87bmc7E6i

Australia unable to chase the target and all out for 108 runs in their 20 overs and lost the game by 23 runs with 4 more T20 to go. Bangladesh’s spinners today 13-0-71-6. That’s where the game was won. They never allowed Australia to settle down, starting from the very first ball which resulted in the wicket of Carey. The spinners had three wickets in the first three overs and Australia were left to play catch up. Only Mitchell Marsh looked assured against the slow, turning ball and when he departed in the 16th over, it was only a matter of time. All the bowlers played their part to perfection and Nasum Ahmed was the pick of the lot with figures of 4 for 19. Early on, Australia’s bowlers had restricted Bangladesh to a below par total thanks to some disciplined bowling by everyone, but their batsmen just didn’t have the pedigree on this surface to chase that target down. Mitchell Marsh scored 45 of 45 balls and Mitchell Starc scored 14 of 14 balls. For Bangladesh Nasum Ahmed pick 4 wickets for 19 runs in 4 overs quota.
