Milestone
That's the end of our coverage for this game. But don't you worry, we have cricketing action lined up for you. Do join us for the coverage of the India vs England Test and TNPL T20 and the two Hundred matches. It's me Arjun Bhalla signing out of the behalf of my co-commentator, Anurag Singh. Merci beaucoup!
Matthew Wade | Winning Captain: We have worked hard in the last few games and haven't had the results. The way Dan played, it can be the difference between winning and losing games. We spoke about it in the morning. We talked about finding runs at the top. We knew he is a terrific hitter from ball one. It would have been nice to get some runs from a few players including me. Don't think too many of us are batting badly as well. We have one more game to go. The quick 40s have decided the fate of the games here. We might play three spinners if needed in the next game.
Mitch Swepson | Player of the Match: Definitely nice to get the nod to play. Certainly don't get these conditions back home. I think on a wicket like this, I was finding it hard to get my straighter one going. Was lucky to get these wickets as I tried to very my pace. I completely forgot I was on a hat-trick. But he got some bat on it and it was a good ball.
Mitch Swepson gets the Player of the Match for his exceptional bowling spell of 3/12 in his 4 fours.
Mahmudullah | Losing Captain: It was always diffcult to chase. It was a 120 wicket. We were 10-15 short. The bowlers did a very good job. As a batting unit, we needed to be cautious and sensible. Tonight's wicket was the toughest to bat on. We need to look forward and maximize our batting order. Shakib's over was the crucial one. Dan Christian changed the scenario. It can happen in a T20 game. Shakib though is a champion bowler. I had to keep two overs of Mustafizur for the end. The batter didn't put their hands up.
Time for post-match ceremony.
However, as I told you about the momentum, it shifted yet again. Ashton Turner and Ashton Agar sewed a crucial and the match-winning 34 run stand. The latter did most of the hitting, while the former applied himself to the situation. Agar was scalped when they were just six runs shy of the target, but Turner was there to take his team home. Finally, Australia have registered their maiden win on the tour, and the series stand at 3-1 with a T20I still to be played.
After the first four overs, Australia were at 45 for 1 and one could easily have said that it’s Australia’s game, but the momentum was again to be shifted. The Tigers scalped two more wickets before the end of powerplay and the visitors were left at 49 for 3 at six-over mark. The bowling side scalped three more wickets in the next 26 deliveries to put Wade's men in all sorts of trouble.
The visitors lost an early wicket in the chase, as it has been the pattern in this series. Wade was gone packing in the very first over. However, the momentum was due to be shifted as Australia experimented by sending Dan Christian one-down. The veteran all-rounder broke his shackles against his Bangladeshi counterpart, when he hammered five sixes in a Shakib over.
This balance of the game shifted for at least a million times in this game. Bangladesh had just 105 runs in the bank, but they gave it all to defend it. However, it wasn’t meant to be as Australia took the game by three wickets with 7 balls remaining.
