Marsh makes it a stroll
Mitchell Marsh’s clean striking blew the chase open, turning a modest target into a one-way finish as Australia won by 7 wickets with 54 balls remaining. Bangladesh had dragged themselves to 109/8, but the moment Marsh settled, the required rate vanished. His 60 off 28 ensured the chase was effectively decided well before the halfway mark of Australia’s innings.
Bangladesh’s powerplay collapse
The game was largely lost in Bangladesh’s first six overs. Crawling to 22/3 in the powerplay, they handed Australia complete control of tempo and match-ups. That early damage forced a rebuild that never truly accelerated, leaving Bangladesh with only 58 runs across the middle overs for four wickets and too little platform to cash in at the end.
Marsh’s burst, bowlers’ base
Marsh was the decisive force, scoring at a strike rate of 214 and dominating the chase’s key phase. Josh Inglis’ 17 off 16 provided support in a 53-run partnership that removed any lingering doubt. The foundation, though, was laid by Johnson’s miserly spell and backed up by Ellis and Zampa, who kept Bangladesh to a total Australia could hunt down in 11 overs.
Johnson and Ellis squeeze hard
Australia’s bowlers kept tightening the screws through the middle, making boundaries feel like a bonus rather than a release. Spencer Johnson’s 2/6 across 4.1 overs repeatedly hit the deck and shut down risk, while Nathan Ellis (2/21) and Adam Zampa (2/22) ensured Bangladesh’s best stand was just 25. Even Towhid Hridoy’s 62 off 51 had to be compiled under constant pressure, with the innings only lifting late for 29 runs in the death overs.
