| 2.6 : 2.6: Adam Zampa to Mohammad Naim, FOUR! First boundary of the day! Floated it up on middle, Mohammad Naim stands tall and pulls it towards deep square leg for a boundary. 6 runs from the over. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Josh Hazlewood to Soumya Sarkar, OUT! TIMBER! Josh Hazlewood draws the first blood! Good length ball on leg, Soumya Sarkar makes room for himself and moves across. He gets in the line of the bowl and looks to dab it towards third man. He is though late on his shot and chops it back to the stumps. Josh Hazlewood gets his reward for keeping things tight. Soumya Sarkar has to depart. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Mitchell Starc to Mohammad Naim, SIX! MILES OVER! A touch fuller on the pads, Mohammad Naim uses his wrists well. He flicks this over deep mid-wicket with ease for a maximum. What a shot, that! |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Andrew Tye to Mohammad Naim, FOUR! Short ball on middle and Naim pulls this one over square leg and into the boundary. Didn't get enough on it but just enough to get the boundary. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: Adam Zampa to Mohammad Naim, OUT! BOWLED! Mohammad Naim has thrown it away! Pre-meditated reverse sweep attempt and Adam Zampa is too good of a bowler. He fires this one full on and on middle stump. The ball goes through quickly and underneath the bat of Naim. Unnecessary shot and Mohammad Naim walks back to the shed. Zampa gets the second breakthrough for Australia and he is delighted. |

| 12.2 : 12.2: Josh Hazlewood to Mahmudullah, OUT! TAKEN! Josh Hazlewood gets another! Length delivery on middle, Mahmudullah tries to go for another big shot. He advances down the track and heaves it over mid off. He gets more height than the distance. Moises Henriques runs back from mid off and takes a blinder running backward. An excellent catch from him. Bangladesh loses their skipper now. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: Adam Zampa to Shakib Al Hasan, FOUR! Just short of the fielder! Tossed up on middle, Shakib Al Hasan lifts it long on. The fielder runs ahead and attempts to catch the ball but it falls just short. It bounces in front of him and crosses the ropes. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: Andrew Tye to Nurul Hasan, OUT! OUT! TAKEN! Tye sees Nurul Hasan moving too far on off, he smartly bowls it full and outside off.

| 17.6 : 17.6: Mitchell Starc to Shamim Hossain, OUT! TIMBER! Trademark yorker from Mitchell Starc and there is pretty much nothing you can do about it. Shamim Hossain had no clue whatsoever. He tries to jam it out but fails. Starc hits the bulls-eye and Bangladesh slip further. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Mitchell Starc to Afif Hossain, FOUR! INNOVATIVE! Touch fuller on off, Afif Hossain paddle scoops it over the keeper's head for a boundary. Much needed boundary. |

| 1.4 : 1.4: Nasum Ahmed to Josh Philippe, OUT! STUMPED! Beautiful piece of spin bowling from Nasum Ahmed as he just tosses this one on a length around off and lets the ball do the magic. 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! |
| 2.1 : 2.1: 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. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Mahedi Hasan to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Quicker ball on off, Mitchell Marsh guides it off the under edge towards third man for a boundary. Doesn't matter how these runs come as long as they come. |

| 9.4 : 9.4: Nasum Ahmed to Matthew Wade, OUT! CAUGHT! That was a howler from the bowler to start with and then Matthew Wade played a shot that was equally poor. The ball was bowled way down leg and was spinning away, Wade goes to fetch it and pulls it straight towards short fine leg where Mustafizur Rahman takes a nice low catch. Nasum Ahmed has got the wicket of the Australian skipper who wasn't looking comfortable out there! |
| 11.1 : 11.1: Shakib Al Hasan to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Powerful shot! Tossed up on middle, Mitchell Marsh smacks it straight down the ground for a boundary. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: Nasum Ahmed to Ashton Agar, OUT! HIT-WICKET! Oh, dear! That will hurt Australia and Ashton Agar. Nasum Ahmed tosses this one up and on middle. Ashton Agar rocks back and tucks it on the leg side. He goes too deep into the crease and drags his left leg onto the stumps. He knew it straightaway and the Bangladesh players also started celebrating. It seems like everything is working in Bangladesh's favor. An unlucky dismissal for Ashton Agar really. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: Shakib Al Hasan to Mitchell Marsh, SIX! JUST OVER! Tossed up on off, Mitchell Marsh heaves it over long off for a maximum. Will that release some pressure though? Nonetheless, important 6 runs for Australia. |
| 15.3 : 15.3: Nasum Ahmed to Mitchell Marsh, OUT! CAUGHT! That could just be the final nail in the Australian coffin! Mitchell Marsh is gone for a well made 45! Nasum Ahmed just tosses this up on middle and it was there to be hit, but it was just a bit slower and Marsh went for the big slog over the mid-wicket fence and got it high off the top-edge towards mid-wicket. Shoriful Islam ran in and took a superb diving catch to get rid of the big fish. Bangladesh in the driving seat now and Nasum Ahmed |
| 16.2 : 16.2: Shoriful Islam to Mitchell Starc, FOUR! Short one on middle, Starc pulls it past short fine leg for a much needed boundary. |

| 17.3 : 17.3: Mustafizur Rahman to Ashton Turner, OUT! TAKEN! Mustafizur Rahman has the last laugh! Good length ball on off, a slower one. Ashton Turner lifts it towards extra cover.

| 18.2 : 18.2: Shoriful Islam to Andrew Tye, OUT! TAKEN! On a good length on off, Tye tries to go hard but heaves it straight down the throat of the long off fielder. Mohammad Naim takes a simple catch there. Another one bites the dust for Australia. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: Shoriful Islam to Adam Zampa, OUT! CAUGHT! Just one more wicket remaining now. Back of a length, slower and on middle, Adam Zampa had to go for the big shot and he did as he tried to pull this one over the mid-wicket fence but only managed to find the fielder in the deep. Bangladesh can almost taste victory now! |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Mustafizur Rahman to Mitchell Starc, OUT! TIMBER! Mustafizur Rahman finishes things off! A sharp incoming delivery on off, Mitchell Starc looks to drive but is completely beaten. The ball goes through his bat and dislodges the off stump. Australia are bundled out for 108 and BANGLADESH WIN BY 23 RUNS! What a moment for them! |
