Breaking Australia Complete Ruthless 3-0 T20I Sweep Over Bangladesh
26 Jun 2026, 3:32 pm
Australia completed a clinical 3-0 series sweep over Bangladesh in the third and final T20I at Chattogram, restricting the hosts to a modest total before chasing down the target inside just 11 overs to wrap up a dominant tour in style.
Sent in to bat, Bangladesh lost three early wickets cheaply as Australia's seamers and spinners squeezed the innings from the start. Only captain Towhid Hridoy showed real fight, anchoring the innings with an unbeaten 61 while wickets fell steadily around him. The last three wickets added a useful 44 runs to push the total to 109 for 8, but it always looked short of par on a used surface.
Mitchell Marsh set the tone in the chase with a blistering 60 off just 28 balls, putting Bangladesh's bowlers under pressure from the very first over. Tim David then finished things off with two clean sixes, guiding Australia home with 54 balls to spare and confirming a thoroughly one sided final match of the series.
Leg spinner Adam Zampa added a personal landmark to the day's proceedings, picking up his 350th wicket in T20 cricket during Bangladesh's innings. The veteran spinner has been a key figure throughout the tour, and his milestone capped a series where Australia's bowling attack rarely allowed the hosts any breathing room with bat in hand.
The result completes a miserable few days for Bangladesh, who also lost the ODI series narrowly before being swept aside in this shorter format. With several senior batters out of form, the team management now faces questions ahead of their next assignment, while Australia head into their upcoming fixtures full of confidence.
