Australia’s bowlers produced a clinical display to seal a crucial win and wrap up the T20I series against Bangladesh.
It was a tale of two halves for the hosts as they were well placed in the chase but couldn’t quite get over the line, thanks to a spirited performance by the Australian bowlers.
Renshaw Shines with 89* as Bangladesh Chases Slows
Eden Hazards’ wicket was the turning point in the match as the Bangladeshi batting line-up, which had looked so dominant earlier, began to falter. The hosts were struggling at 104 for 4, but a 89* from Matthew Renshaw took them to 187 for 4 off 18 overs, giving them a fighting chance of winning the match.
The Australian bowlers, however, were not about to let that happen. Jhye Richardson and Josh Hazlewood led the charge, dismissing the Bangladeshi batsmen at regular intervals. Richardson’s 4 for 20 was the pick of the bowlers, with Hazlewood chipping in with 2 for 21. Adam Zampa and Mitchell Starc also picked up a wicket each to ensure that the visitors didn’t get a sniff of winning the match.
The Bangladeshi batting line-up, which had looked so dominant earlier, was exposed to the ruthless Australian attack. The hosts’ reliance on the big-hitting duo of Renshaw and Liton Das proved to be their undoing as the rest of the batting line-up struggled to cope with the pressure.
