Bangladesh Lose Against Australian Bowlers

Good toss to win for Australia and then Good short of length bowling and quick changes of bowling action, four seamer's within five overs and didn't allow the openers to settle. And Bangladeshis could not use the power play effectively. After the Powerplay period, Ponting deployed a double spin attack with Andrew Symonds and Michael Clark and still Bangladesh couldn't free their arms. Nazimuddin who made some good innings in practice match again unable to lengthen his inning and scooped a low catch to Ponting at cover and Tamim Iqbal, who dealt mainly in singles and twos, sliced a skier to point to push Bangladesh further back.

And then expectation of good innings from Aftab and Ashraful increases. But there were a couple of boundaries - Ashraful slashed Mitchell Johnson over backward point to made 7 from 6 balls before out, Aftab smoked a rare full delivery from Lee over cover and Shakib Al Hasan slog-swept Clarke over deep midwicket - but it was too little and too late.

And then the 17th over, historic part of the game to clinch a first ever Hat-trick in Twenty20 international match. He cramped Shakib into edging a intended cut to the keeper, yorked Mashrafe Mortaza to bowled out and trapped Alok Kapali with one that nipped back in and got clean Lbw. Australia had climbed all over Bangladesh. And AUS bound BD to 123/9.

Mathew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist make the target as a little task and imposed themselves to power Australia to a nine-wicket win at Newlands. Hayden disrupting the mediumpacers by walking imperiously down the track to heave the length deliveries away and swept and swung the mediumpacers, disorienting them completely, while Gilchrist took the spinners to the cleaners. Australia clinched the win in their style. Lee was judged as Man of the match.
