In the third and final T10 clash between Australia and Bangladesh, the visitors delivered a commanding all-round performance to clinch the match by 29 runs, thanks mainly to a breathtaking knock from Tim David, who smashed a blistering 52 off just 18 balls. His explosive innings became the turning point of the match, laying the platform for Australia’s defendable total.

Australia got off to a shaky start, losing Mitch Marsh, David Warner, Alex Carey, and Josh Inglis inside the first 21 runs. However, the innings stabilised when Steve Smith stepped up with a composed yet aggressive 33 off 14 balls, guiding the middle order through the turbulence. His partnership with Tim David ignited momentum, with David launching a counterattack featuring towering sixes and clean strokes all around the ground. Their combined effort pushed Australia to a competitive total of 135/9 in 10 overs.

Bangladesh’s bowling had bright spots—Taskin Ahmed (3 wickets), Afif Hossain (2 wickets), and Mustafizur Rahman (2 wickets) all struck at crucial intervals, but none could suppress the onslaught from David and Smith. The expensive overs late in the innings ultimately cost Bangladesh.

Chasing 136, Bangladesh started with positive intent through Munim Shahriar (19) and Litton Das (18), giving hope of a competitive pursuit. The real firepower emerged from Shakib Al Hasan, who blasted a powerful 43 off 17 balls, keeping Bangladesh alive in the chase. However, once Shakib departed to Mitchell Starc, the innings collapsed rapidly.

Australia’s bowlers executed precise plans—Cameron Green (2/24) and Mitchell Starc (2/19) applied continuous pressure, while the fielding unit produced three run-outs, further dismantling Bangladesh’s chase. From 83/6, the innings fell apart completely, ending at 106 all out in 9 overs, giving Australia a clinical victory.

With this win, Australia wrapped up the match convincingly, driven by Tim David’s match-winning half-century and a disciplined bowling performance that left Bangladesh with no answers in the final overs.
