Australia beat Bangladesh by 7 runs
Goodbye for now! That wraps up our coverage for today, folks! Australia have the series locked away, but you can bet they’ll be hunting for a ruthless 3-0 clean sweep. Bangladesh, meanwhile, will be desperate to salvage some pride and finish on a high. Don't miss a single second of the third and final T20I, coming your way this Sunday, 21st June at 8 am GMT. Until next time, it’s a wrap from the commentary box. Goodbye and cheers!
The skipper of Australia - Mitchell Marsh says it's been a great series win and to wrap it up in two games is a pleasing sign. Looking back at 2021, he recalls it ended 4-1 to Bangladesh and that Australia's only win that time came with a bit of luck, so this feels a lot better to win this one strongly. On the pitch, Marsh says the wicket was a lot better than the previous game, and he is particularly happy for Renshaw. He singles out his outstanding partnership with Tim David as fantastic, saying the two got Australia out of a tricky spot and then shifted through the gears to get the side to a competitive total. On Hardie, Marsh says he was good and that it is always nice when those calls come off. He then goes on to praise all the bowlers for working through their sequences and staying calm under pressure, especially at the back end. He says Nathan Ellis' last two overs were game-changing and that Australia are lucky to have someone of his experience in the group. Marsh says he is rapt for the team, and it is nice to get a series win in Bangladesh. On finishing the series on a high, he acknowledges it has been a reasonably tough tour for the white-ball group, with a fairly inexperienced side facing different challenges in these conditions. He says the team is really keen to close it out with a win before everyone heads home.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Matt Renshaw receives the award for his fabulous knock of 89 runs in 52 balls. He picked up one wicket as well. Matt Renshaw says he was simply trusting his skills and got his reward on the day. He adds that Australia posted a good score but Bangladesh came out and attacked hard. On his partnership with David, he says both of them have their own strengths and they looked to use those to build a solid total together. Reflecting on the first-innings score, Renshaw says the team knew after the first game that Bangladesh would come out swinging, and admits it felt a little nervy. But he felt it was a good total to defend, noting that the longer the chase went on, the harder it became to hit.
The skipper of Bangladesh - Towhid Hridoy says they played really good cricket, but is quick to admit that they need to improve in a couple of areas to end up on the right side. When asked what those areas of improvement are, Towhid stresses that they have to carry the responsibility a lot more. Mentions that it is important for the batters to play a big knock after getting settled on the crease. Stresses that they need to chase such type of totals and is hopeful that they will comeback strongly in the next match.
Time for the post-match Presentations...
So close, yet so far! But you can never count the Aussies out. Australia roared back into the contest in the blink of an eye. Parvez Hossain Emon fell in the 13th over, and Saif Hassan followed him right back to the dugout in the 14th, breaking the backbone of the chase. That is when the tables turned. For Australia, Aaron Hardie picked up two wickets, while Matt Renshaw, Zampa, Ellis, and Davies kept the pressure up with one wicket each. Nathan Ellis, in particular, was just instrumental with his bag of tricks. He varied his pace smartly to outfox the batters in the backend and came out with flying colors. Over number 17, he picked a wicket and gave just 2 runs. He went for a few in the penultimate, but by then, the game had drifted out of reach. Towhid Hridoy kept the local fans dreaming with a valiant 35, dragging the thriller right down to the final over. They fell agonisingly short by a mere 7 runs in a grandstand finish.
The Tigers made a good start to the chase - Chasing a daunting 197, Bangladesh didn't back down and came out firing on all cylinders. Tanzid Hasan set the tone early with a quickfire 30, and Saif Hassan kept the momentum alive with fearless hitting. Even after Soumya Sarkar fell cheaply, Parvez Hossain Emon joined Saif and carried on with the aggressive approach. At the halfway mark, the Tigers were in control, needing another 94 runs off the final 60 balls.
The Matt Renshaw masterclass - Earlier in the game, it was the Matt Renshaw show that set the stadium alight. Opting to bat first, Australia found themselves in a real spot of bother at 44/3 within the Powerplay. But Renshaw played a blistering, career-defining unbeaten knock of 89 off just 52 balls. He found a perfect ally in Tim David, who smashed a rapid 45 to steady the ship with a 97-run stand. Backed by some late lusty blows from Joel Davies, the Aussies posted a mammoth 196/5, leaving Bangladesh's bowlers, outside of a tidy 2/27 from Nasum Ahmed, with plenty of answers to find.
Redemption for the Aussies! A sensational turnaround from the Men in Yellow. After a disappointing defeat in the ODI series, Australia have bounced back to clinch this three-match T20I series 2-0 with a game to spare. It was a magnificent performance from the visitors. Bangladesh would be upset with this loss as they had the upper hand in this game till the halfway stage of the chase.

Aaron Hardie To Towhid Hridoy OUT!
OUT! TAKEN EASILY! That's that. Joy for Australia. Heartbreak for Bangladesh as they could see the finish line, but could not cross it in the end. Australia win by 7 runs. Hardie bowls a slower one, full and around off. Towhid Hridoy is beaten by the lack of pace and mistimes the lofted shot off the toe end towards long on. Tim David keeps his calm, moves a bit to his right and takes a simple catch. Marsh lets out a roar of relief as Hardie is engulfed by his teammates, absolutely over the moon. Australia win the 3-match T20I series, taking the lead by 2-0.

Nathan Ellis To Shamim Hossain OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Hardie makes a tough catch look easy and Ellis gets the reward for unleashing his bag of tricks. He bowls a length-delivery, on the leg stump line. Shamim Hossain crouches a bit to play the pull shot, but does not get enough room to free his arms and complete the follow-through. Mistimes it as the bat twists at the point of contact, and airs it to the right of deep square leg. Aaron Hardie covers a good ground to his right and takes a fine running catch. Bangladesh are 153/5, still needing 44 runs from 21 balls.

Adam Zampa To Towhid Hridoy
A shocking review from Australia. Completely out of desperation. Zampa goes full and it is the conventional leg break in front of the stumps. Towhid Hridoy plants the front leg to the pitch of the ball and looks to flick but seems to have gotten an inside edge onto the pads. A slight appeal for LBW, but the finger stays down. Marsh and Inglis both converge to have a chat with the bowler and the skipper opts for a review. An UltraEdge confirms a big deflection. Australia burn a review. But another fine over from an Aussie pov.

Another quiet over in the game's context. Last 5 overs left, Bangladesh need 54 from those. Australia, at the same stage, were 147/4. Bangladesh are 143/4. Nothing really separates both sides at the moment. Australia's trump card, Adam Zampa (2-0-21-1) is back on.

OUT! TAKEN! Not a wicket-taking delivery and Saif has thrown his wicket away. Full and wide outside off, it was also outside the tramline and could have easily been a wide had he left it alone. But Saif Hassan still reaches out to it and looks to slap it over covers. Gets it sliced off the outside edge and the ball lobs in the air towards cover.

Australia roar back into the contest through a superb catch by The Bison. Sometimes a single moment of brilliance in the field is all it takes to swing the momentum, and this could well be that spark for the tourists. Towhid Hridoy is in at number 5.

He tries to hit it too hard and loses his shape and gets a thick outside edge as the ball goes in the air and over covers. Mitchell Marsh runs behind from cover, keeps his eyes on the ball, and takes a magnificent catch while falling on the ground. Bangladesh are 130/3 after 12.5 overs.

DRINKS BREAK! Despite losing two wickets, the approach from the Bangladesh batters has not changed. Parvez Hossain Emon and Saif Hassan are looking good in the middle and they will try to stitch a gritty stand. Australia have been under pressure and they will try and hunt for wickets. Bangladesh needs 94 runs in the final 10 overs now, but they are well ahead of where the Aussies were at this stage. The game is still evenly poised. Let's see how it goes. Joel Davies is back on. Went for 4 runs in his first over. He replaces Adam Zampa.

Adam Zampa To Soumya Sarkar OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Brave bowling by Zampa as he fishes out Sarkar at a crucial time. Adam floats this one up and this is a half-volley on middle and leg. Soumya Sarkar cannot resist his temptation to sail it down the ground. He clears the front leg and tries to take on the long on fielder, but gets his timing all wrong as he cannot free his arms fully. Sails it straight into the big buckets of Aaron Hardie at long on. Hardie takes a simple catch with a reverse cup. Bangladesh are 77/2, needing 120 runs from 79 balls.

End of Powerplay, and it certainly belonged to Bangladesh. They have lost a wicket but are 72/1 after 6 overs. Australia desperately need wickets to pull things back. Let's see how it pans out. Adam Zampa comes into the attack now.

Switch of ends for Spencer Johnson (1-0-22-0). He replaces Nathan Ellis. Oh! Hang on. Brief hold-up in play as the sightscreen runs into a technical issue, which is being fixed by the groundstaff. Looks like the issue is solved and we are all set to resume.

Too full, on off, Soumya Sarkar chips it uppishly towards cover. The ball lands just short of Nikhil there, but the fielder does well to stop it. Dot.
2/26 in the first T20I, and a wicket off his first over in the second. Renshaw continues to make an impact with the ball as well and he cannot do anything wrong today. In walks Soumya Sarkar at number 3.

Matt Renshaw To Tanzid Hasan OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! A soft dismissal in the end for Tanzid Hasan. First with the bat, and now Matt Renshaw does it with the ball as well. Fired in, on off, Tanzid Hasan leans on and looks to drive it straight, but gets in two minds whether to play along the ground, or to loft it over the bowler. Ends up chipping the ball off the toe end. It carries straight back towards Matt Renshaw, who makes no mistake and takes a fine return catch in front of his face. Bangladesh are 48/1 after 3.4 overs.

Nathan Ellis To Saif Hassan
Well-bowled. Hard length and outside off, Saif Hassan plants the front leg across, sits down on a knee, and looks to paddle it behind, but misses to connect and the ball hits his pads and rolls towards square leg. A stifled appeal for LBW, which is turned down. The impact seemed to be outside off. Marsh double checks with the keeper and the bowler and there's no confidence from either of them, so they don't take a review. The batters collect a leg bye. The replay later shows that the impact indeed is outside off.
