Bangladesh are now on the cusp of making history – their first ever bilateral series win over Australia in any format.
Mustafizur Rahman starred with the ball with returns of 3/23 while Afif Hossain, who top-scored with a 31-ball 37 not out for his side, was adjudged Player-of-the-Match.
Earlier, reeling from their first ever defeat against Bangladesh in the shortest format, Australia opted to bat.
And yet again, it wasn’t the best of starts for the visitors with the early departure of Alex Carey (13) leaving them on the backfoot.
Mitchell Marsh and Moises Henriques would go on to establish a steady stand for the visitors, giving them some confidence of posting a challenging total on the board.
Chief scores
Australia: 121/7 in 20 overs (Mitchell Marsh 45, Moises Henriques 30, Mustafizur Rahman 3/23)
Bangladesh: 123/5 in 18.4 overs (Afif Hossain 37 n.o). (ICC)
