Mitchell Starc to Afif Hossain, No Ball! A comedy of errors of sorts! Starc misses the yorker and it's a high full toss on the hips which is chopped back onto the stumps by Hossain.

Bangladesh struggled with the bat. They got off to a disastrous start as Soumya Sarkar got out early. Mohammad Naim then worked hard for his 30 before throwing it away. The experienced Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah stitched up a partnership of 36 runs before the latter also got out. Shakib Al Hasan kept on toiling but was running out of partners and finally he got out as well. Bangladesh just kept on losing wickets and there was no momentum to the innings as they ended with a modest total
The Australian bowling was impressive, to say the least. The pacers and the spinners bowled really well. Josh Hazlewood was the stand-out as he sent Soumya Sarkar early and then come back on to get rid of the skipper as well and later on got the big wicket of Shakib Al Hasan which stopped Bangladesh's flow. Mitchell Starc got two wickets and got to his 50 wickets in T20Is, the first Australian to do so. Adam Zampa and Andrew Tye too got a wicket each and Ashton Agar was the only one who did
Right then, Australia need 132 runs to start the series with a win. To be honest the total to chase down is modest and they should get there comfortably but you never know in these sub-continent conditions. The Bangladeshi bowlers, specially the spinners will have to put on a show to get anything out of this one. Don't go anywhere as the chase begins soon.
0.1 : Mahedi Hasan to Alex Carey, OUT! TIMBER! A dream start for Bangladesh! Flatter and quicker from Mahedi Hasan as he bowls this on middle, attacking the stumps. Alex Carey hangs back and tries to cut it to the off side but misses it completely. The ball goes through and ricochets the stumps. Mahedi Hasan is delighted as he jumps and punches the air. A perfect start for the hosts. Alex Carey walks back disappointed.
Who will come in at number 3? Mitchell Marsh walks out to bat.
0.2 : Mahedi Hasan to Mitchell Marsh, Floated on off, Marsh clips it to mid-wicket for a single.
0.3 : Mahedi Hasan to Josh Philippe, Tossed up on middle, Phillipe works it towards deep mid-wicket for a single.

The ball turns sharply away from Josh Philippe who put a huge stride forward in order to block it. Nurul Hasan behind the stumps whips off the bails in a flash and Philippe starts walking. The umpire does go upstairs and we can see that the back foot was on the line and Australia have been rocked twice early on!
1.5 : Nasum Ahmed to Moises Henriques, Tossed up on middle, Moises Henriques clips it on the leg side for a single.

2.1 : Who will come in next? It's the skipper, Matthew Wade!
Shakib Al Hasan to Moises Henriques, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Flatter and quicker delivery on off, Moises Henriques gets down on his knee and tries to sweep it across. The ball goes off the inside edge and goes through his bat and pad to rattle the stumps. Nutmeg him completely. Australia in all sorts of trouble. Shakib Al Hasan gets a wicket off his first delivery. Moises Henriques has to walk back to the shed now. 
2.2 : Shakib Al Hasan to Matthew Wade, Loopy ball on off, Wade tucks it on the leg side.
