Australia scored only 121/7 in their 20 overs. Bat first, bowl first. Nothing has changed drastically for the Aussie batting line-up. Just 121 on the board and this should be a cakewalk for Bangladesh if they don’t get too crazy. This is a very inexperienced batting line-up on display for the visitors, so the hosts were obviously going to trouble them with spin early on and they did. Australia could not even reach a rate of six runs per over in the powerplay. Forget the powerplay, it was only after 15 overs that they reached 6RPO. Mahedi Hasan, Shakib very good with the ball and they hardly gave boundary opportunities. Fizz rolled out his variations and Shoriful impressed with slower balls and extra pace. Mitch Marsh the lone star with the bat for the visitors, who now will have to hope for a miracle to pull this off. Micthell Marsh scored 45 of 42 balls and Moises Henriques scored 30 of 25 balls. For Bangladesh Mustafizur Rahman pick 3 wickets for 23 runs in his 4 overs quota.

Bangladesh chased down the the target successfully by scoring 123/5 in 18.4 overs and lead the series by 2-0 with 3 more T20 to go. This is the first time Bangladesh have beaten Australia in successive games in any format. A fan on the terrace of a building waves the flag. Their team enjoys this win, their fans sure would be enjoying too. There was a scare when Shakib, Mahmudullah and Mahedi departed in the space of 9 runs, but Afif Hossain and Nurul Hasan were stars. The former never shied away from playing shots and got the boundaries to keep the run rate in check, while the latter held the other end tight. Shakib played a vital hand at 3 with four boundaries too. Mitch Starc’s 13-run third over put the hosts ahead. Although Agar, Zampa and Hazelwood were good, their batters hardly put up a score on the board. Afif Hossain scored 37* of 31 balls and Shakib Al Hasan scored 26 of 17 balls. For Australia Tye, Zampa, Starc, Hazlewood and Agar pick 1 wicket each.
Bangladesh lead the five-match T20I series 2-0!
Afif Hossain and Nurul Hasan share an unbeaten 56-run stand to guide their side to a five-wicket win 🙌
