It took Australia just 6.2 overs to complete the 74-run chase against Bangladesh, with skipper Aaron Finch leading the way with a 20-ball 40. The right-hander’s blitz included two fours and four sixes in a 58-run opening stand with David Warner (18).
Earlier, Mitchell Starc (2/21), Josh Hazlewood (2/8), and Glenn Maxwell (1/6) struck early, to reduce Bangladesh to 32/4 in the powerplay after Finch opted to bowl. Adam Zampa (5/19) then took over and had Afif Hossain caught behind on the first ball of his spell to make it 33/5.
Shamim Hossain (19) partnered Mahmudullah (16) for a 29-run stand, but Zampa removed the former and Mahedi Hasan in successive balls to trigger another collapse. Matthew Wade dropped a relatively straightforward chance to deny the leg-spinner a hat-trick on the first ball of his last over, but two more wickets soon after completed his maiden T20I five-for.
With the third win from Australia moved to the second position in the Group 1 point table, while Bangladesh bowed out of the tournament with fifth defeat in as many Super 12s matches. Australia will play West Indies in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, November 6.
Missed opportunity

Tough for Bangladesh
Team Bundled Out For 70 Odd, Still They Are Trying To Motivate Them. Liton, Soumya, Mushfiqur, Riad Should Apologize To This Fans For The Shameful Performance. All Should Take Voluntary Retirement From T20 Cricket As An Apology

Tough!
Such a poor performance by Bangladesh today, no intent shown at all. Bangladesh lost the match with such a big margin on purpose to secure their contracts in BBL.🤡
