Has this really happened or is it just a dream we are seeing! Bangladesh has defeated Australia twice in cricket history so far, once in 2005 Cardiff and second time in 2017 test match but after today’s first T20 match add one more win to this tally! Yes, Bangladesh beat Australia for the third time in a low scoring match at home!
The story of the 2005 Cardiff win is much more interesting than the three wins so far! Defeating Ricky Ponting's team could not have been imagined even in a dream but headless Bangladesh proved it in an era of cricket where only Australian team was the king!
This victory will be a message to the cricket world that small teams like Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and Kenya are still alive in cricket! But if you believe it right, this victory is such a fence! If it is shown, it may not be because the Australian team who is playing with Bangladesh is completely opposite from the old teams. Where from David Warner to Steve Smith is not part of the series, the middle order also looks weak of Australia!
But in the presence of bowlers like Mitchell Starc, Bangladesh has given a deal to Australia, that is a very big question! Has this started to end the career of Mitchell Starc! The gift that Bangladesh gave to its audience, they will hardly be able to forget it! Australia will have to think through its policies for the coming matches! Bangladesh lead 1-0 in the 5 match t20 series! But are they really a contender to win the series!
But maybe it is too early to say although if Bangladesh beat Australia in the 5 match series then it would be nothing less than a dream! No doubt this defeat will give a lesson to Australia and they will give a strong answer to Bangladesh in the coming matches of the series.
In the first match where Australia captain won the toss and decided to field first! Proving his decision right, the Australian bowlers limited Bangladesh to just 131 runs in the stipulated 20 overs!
For Bangladesh, Shakib Al Hasan contributed the most in 36 runs, while for Australia, left-arm fast bowler Mitchell starc was the most successful! Stars took 2 wickets for 33 runs in his 4 overs spell!
Chasing Bangladesh's easy challenge of 132 runs, Australia could only manage 108 runs in their 20 overs! Most contributed 45 runs for Australia from Mitchell Marsh! No other batsman from Australia failed to face the clever bowling of Bangladesh and knelt down!
Nasum Ahmed took 4 wickets for Bangladesh in his 4 overs spell for just 19 runs!
Can we expect Australia to make a comeback from here under the captaincy of their current captain, Mathew Wade! When the team is weak, the team needs a courageous captain! The one who brought the team out of every difficult challenge! Stay Connected And Join Us For More Match Updates.
