Australia posted lowest ever T20I total

-

  They achieved this disastrous feat of lowest ever total in the shortest during the fifth T20I match against Bangladesh played at the Sher E Bangla Stadium, Mirpur, Dhaka on Monday.

Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah won the toss and decided to bat first. Mahedi Hasan and Mohammad Naim provided a flying start putting pressure on the Aussies bowling. Ashton Turner got the breakthrough getting rid of Mahedi Hasan. The Bangladeshi openers put on 42 runs in just 4.3 overs to lay a strong foundation.

The Australian bowlers kept a lid on the Bangladeshi batsmen taking wickets at regular intervals. Shakib AL Hasan, Mahmudullah, Soumya Sarkar got starts but was not able to convert into big scores. A disciplined bowling effort by Australia restricted Bangladesh for a modest total of 122 for 8. Mohammad Naim scored run a ball 23 and kept Bangladesh going in the first six overs. Nathan Ellis and Daniel Christian took 2 wickets each while Turner, Agar, and Adam Zampa grabbed 1 wicket each while one was run out.

Nasum Ahmed struck off his first ball getting rid of Daniel Christian. Australian stand-in captain Matthew Wade looked impressive with his stroke play keeping the pressure on Bangladesh bowlers. The Australian batsmen struggled big-time against the spinners of Bangladesh. Shakib AL Hasan dismissed the dangerous Matthew Wade. Ben McDermott, Alex Carey, Moises Henriques, Ashton Turner did not contribute any runs. Australia fell like nine pins to be bowled out for 62 in 13.4 overs. This is the shortest innings that the Kangaroos played in the shortest format.

Matthew Wade was the top scorer with 22 off 22 balls. Shakib AL Hasan rattled the Australian batsmen with his variations grabbing 4 for 9 in 3.4 overs while Saifuddin took 3 for 12, Nasum Ahmed 2 for 8. It was a disappointing performance by the Australian team as they lost the 5 match T20I series by 1-4.

Australia played a total of 144 T20Is matches since their debut with 72 wins, 67 losses, 2 tied, and 3 no-result with a win percentage of 51.77. The previous lowest total for Australia in T20Is was 79 against England in 2005. 

The Australian Cricket Team is looking ordinary in T20I format. They were outplayed by the defending Champions West Indies 1-4 and then crushed by Bangladesh 1-4. They would be looking to improve their performance in the shortest format as the likes of David Warner, Pat Cummins, Smith will be making a comeback for World T20 to be played in October.

 Thanks to a brilliant spell by Curtis Campher, Ireland registered an emphatic win over the Netherlands in the opening match of Group A played at Sheikh Zayed International Stadium, Abu Dhabi on Monday. Netherlands captain Peter Seelar won the toss and decided to bat first. It was not an ideal start as Ben Cooper was run out in a mix-up as the umpire checked if Paul Stirling took the bails off and the decision was retained as out. Ireland bowlers kept tight lines not allowing Netherlands batters to score runs easily. Bas de Leede and Max O Donald struggled against disciplined Ireland bowling. In an attempt to increase the run rate, de Leede was bowled trying to play an innovative stroke. At the end of the first six overs, Netherlands posted just 25 for 2.
