| 3.3 : 3.3: J Hazlewood to T Iqbal, FOUR! THAT'S HAMMERED! Coming on the back of a superb ton, he's high on confidence right now and it's showing. Iqbal gives the charge, meets the length ball with his meaty bat and crashes it past mid off for a boundary. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: M Starc to T Iqbal, FOUR! Super shot! Speared full and tailing back in on middle and off, Tamim Iqbal with a slightly closed face drives it through the left of mid on. Pat Cummins there chases after the ball and even puts in a dive to stop it, but just cannot get to it. Boundary! |
| 4.6 : 4.6: M Starc to T Iqbal, FOUR! This is a good end to the over. Short and wide, width on offer which Iqbal latches on to. Cuts it hard through point to send it across the boundary line. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: J Hazlewood to S Sarkar, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Hazlewood is continuing on with his good run from the last game. Draws first blood for Australia with an excellent delivery. Bowls it just around off, on a length and makes it go away ever so slightly. Soumya Sarkar has a feel for it and ends up getting a nick behind. Matthew Wade dives to his left and takes it comfortably. |
| 10.2: Pat Cummins to I Kayes, OUT! SOFT DISMISSAL! Slightly behind length and angling away, Kayes punches it on the off side but ends up checking his shot a touch. The ball goes straight at cover-point. Finch there, crouches low and completes a simple catch. Not much celebration around by the Aussies. They know that they have to keep up their good work. |
| 16.2: M Henriques to M Rahim, OUT! Henriques strikes! Fuller length delivery around off tailing in, Rahim presses forward and looks to push it with a straight bat but gets beaten by the ball nipping in. Gets rapped on the back pad and the players go up in appeal. The umpire immediately rules it out. The Aussies are celebrating as it's a big wicket for them. Oh dear, why didn't Rahim go for the review? The replays showed a deflection and the Snicko and Hot Spot confirmed a slight inside edge. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: M Henriques to Al Hasan, FOUR! Put away! Short and wide outside off, Hasan slaps it past point for a boundary. Gets off the mark in style. |
| 22.2 : 22.2: M Henriques to T Iqbal, SIX! That's the way to play! Tamim Iqbal showing some aggressive intent here. He gives the charge to this length delivery and launches it over wide long off for the first biggie of the match. |
| 22.3 : 22.3: M Henriques to T Iqbal, FOUR! He's cutting loose here! he probably thinks it's time to shift gears. Isn't letting Henriques settle, dances down and pulls this short ball across the mid-wicket fence for a boundary. |
| 22.6 : 22.6: M Henriques to T Iqbal, FOUR! 16 runs off the over, this is a big one for the Tigers. Henriques with a short ball down the leg side, easy pulled down fine for a boundary. |
| 26.1 : 26.1: M Starc to Al Hasan, FOUR! Beautiful shot! Low full toss wide outside off, Shakib reaches out to it and drives it square through backward point for a boundary. |
| 29.1: T Head to T Iqbal, SIX! Oh, what a shot! That's a magnificent hit. Iqbal dances down the track, makes a little room for himself too and smokes it over extra cover for a biggie. |
| 29.2 : 29.2: T Head to T Iqbal, SIX! Two in two now. Seems he's decided he's going after Head. Skids down once more and clears the long off boundary for a maximum. That was a clean hit, made excellent connection on that occasion. |
| 29.5 : 29.5: T Head to Al Hasan, OUT! HE'S GONE! But that decision is a bit harsh really. Seems a little unfair on the batsman. Head from around the wicket bowls a slider around off, it's coming in with the angle as Shakib Al Hasan walks down the track to defend. Is rapped on the pads and there's a huge appeal for a leg before. The umpire raises his finger and Shakib immediately takes the review. Replays show that the impact is the umpire's call and the ball was going on to hit the stumps. Al Hasan wa |
| 32.2 : 32.2: Pat Cummins to T Iqbal, FOUR! Well-placed! Short delivery, angling in. Iqbal gets across and pulls it over short backward square leg. Beats the fine leg fielder also and the ball reaches the fence. |
| 34.2: A Zampa to S Rahman, OUT! Zampa strikes straightaway! What a start by the leggie. Gives it a nice loop outside off, spinning away, Rahman gets lured in an expansive drive but doesn't keep it along the ground. Hits it straight to Smith at short extra cover, who takes a sharp catch. Bangladesh have lost half their side now. Now the question arises that why was Zampa brought in so late? |
| 35.4 : 35.4: G Maxwell to Mahmudullah, SIX! What a shot! Maxwell slides it across the batsman, who dances down and clobbers it on the bounce over long on for a maximum. That's a huge maximum! |
| 36.6 : 36.6: A Zampa to Mahmudullah, OUT! Another one for Zampa! Where was he all this time? Flatter delivery around off, Mahmudullah camps back and looks to cut but ends up getting an inside edge onto the stumps. Bangladesh are suffering a collapse once again. They are in a huge trouble now. |
| 38.5 : 38.5: A Zampa to M Hasan, FOUR! Poor delivery, punished! Long hop from Zampa, Hasan goes back and hits it past Hazlewood at short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 42.1 : 42.1: M Starc to T Iqbal, OUT! How unfortunate, Tamim Iqbal has missed out on his ton by 5 runs. Poor guy, you've got to feel for it. Starc gets his first of the match as well. It's banged short on middle and off, Iqbal looks to half-pull but gets a big top edge which skies towards fine leg. Hazlewood comes running in and dives forward to take a good catch. Bangladesh needed him to stick around in these death overs, this isn't good for them. |
| 42.3 : 42.3: M Starc to M Mortaza, OUT! BAM! He's bowled 'em. Starc goes straight, attacks the stumps at 142 kph and gets the desired result. Goes full and angles it in on middle and leg, Mashrafe Mortaza with no foot movement looks to bring his bat down but misses the ball completely. It straightened up just a touch after pitching which did Mortaza in. |
| 42.4 : 42.4: M Starc to R Hossain, OUT! Starc has his 3rd and he's on a hat-trick now. This is excellent bowling from the pacer. Spears in a yorker on the stumps, Rubel Hossain makes a lot of room to squeeze it out on the off side but gets no wood on the ball. The stumps are disturbed and that's another one sent back to the pavilion. |
| 44.3 : 44.3: M Starc to M Hasan, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Starc has his 4th of the match. He's come back well in these death overs and ran right through the Bangladesh lower order batsmen. He comes steaming in from around the wicket and bowls it full on middle, Mehedi Hasan misses and the furniture is disturbed. BANGLADESH ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 182! |
| 2.3 : 2.3: M Rahman to A Finch, FOUR! Good way to get off the mark! Pitched on a length, angling away, Finch punches it through point. Places it superbly and the ball races to the fence. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: M Mortaza to A Finch, FOUR! Easy pickings! Full down the leg side, Finch tickles it very fine. Beats short fine leg and the ball races to the fence. That was a poor, poor delivery given fine leg was up. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: M Rahman to D Warner, FOUR! Streaky! Back of a length delivery outside off, Warner looks to pull it through but gets an inside edge past the keeper. It runs too fine and the man at fine leg fails to cut it off. Boundary for Warner. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: M Mortaza to D Warner, FOUR! Pulled into the gap! Slower delivery on the shorter side, Warner pulls it with ease over backward square leg for a boundary. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: R Hossain to A Finch, FOUR! Pulled handsomely! Short and angling in, Finch pulls it over backward square leg for a boundary. That will boost his confidence. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: R Hossain to A Finch, OUT! Plumb! Pitches on the fuller side of the length around off, skids through after pitching. Also tails in a touch. Finch is undone by the inward movement as he is late in bringing his bat down in time. Gets rapped on the back pad and the umpire rules it out immediately on the appeal. Rubel Hossain draws first blood. They need wickets in flurry now. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: M Rahman to S Smith, FOUR! Full outside off, Smith drives it uppishly through covers. Strangely neither there's a catching fielder nor there's a sweeper cover in place and the ball finds the fence. |
