There’s a bit of rain earlier.Australia winning the toss and deciding to bat.
The umpires and the two captains and the match referee. Australia won the toss and decided to bat here today under overcast conditions. Let’s play with uh Dutch-Bangla Bank and it’s uh spin to start up with and that’s not a surprise. We’ve seen that happen in T20s for Bangladesh. Nasum Ahmed opening up things uh with the ball.

Punches that and punches that superbly.

That went up.

Half-hearted appeal from Imon. Not quite sure. No response from the umpire.

Turn and put the bounce. Oh.

And keep on that way, it’ll be all right with There are some which uh Hits the leather and keeps going.

Once again, he’s got into position very nicely. The inside-out shot.

Difficult shot to play. He’s gone all the way for the maximum.

Comes inside-out.

Just gives himself that room to be able to access no one deep on the offside. So, all he had to do was clear the inner circle, but he timed it so well it went all the way.

Well, he’s thrown his bat at it and it just raced away.

Oh, he walks down. Hits it maybe a tad mistimed, but it’s still going to go and reach the boundary.

Down the wicket. Smashes that. Maybe the intention was forward of the square. Doesn’t matter how they come. Four runs

nevertheless.

Big appeal and that is the dreaded finger up. Nasum Ahmed strikes.

And is he going to go for the review?

I think he’s gone for the review.

 Keep rolling.

Flat line.

Flat line.

Satisfying. No bad gloves involved. Uh ball tracking please.

Missing outside off. Impact in line.

Wicket umpire’s call.

Shokot still decided. Stand by. You’re on screen now.

Forfuddullah Shokot confirms that it is out

Connolly throws his bat AND WHAT A CATCH THAT IS.

Spectacular stuff.

So early in the innings. He throws his bat at a pace he won from Nahid Rana and that catch is acrobatic to say the least.

But Cooper Connolly who has been a thorn in Bangladesh’s side.

Goes straight away. Nahid Rana only playing his second T 20 international has had the breakthrough. Excellent captaincy. Excellent catch there.

Saif Hassan and Cooper Connolly depart for one. Australia now lost their second wicket for 31.

Nahid Rana cranking up speed. No support from anyone else.

Now, what a good shot that is. Uh, clip off his legs for a beautiful place to boundary.

And now that’s gone in the air.

And the fielder gets underneath it and takes a great catch.

Wow.

Saif Hassan has taken another beauty.

Remember, he was the one who took that catch in the slips.

Picks up a wicket in his very first over.

Big moment of the game. Last ball of the power play. You want to make an impact.

Mitch Marsh wanted to just show Mustafizur that he is on top of things. But Mustafizur shows Mitch Marsh he’s the leader in Bangladesh. Marsh out for 20. Australia 44 for three.

Picking on the eight. Pull him over.

That’ll go a long way. Oh, it goes a long way.

And he’s put that away in the crowd.

It’s okay to have that pace, but if you don’t get it in the right areas, you’re going to get muscled.

And Rana, he would have been doing his homework thinking that that extra pace might trouble Tim David.
