Australia again struggled against spin as they suffered their first T20 cricket loss to Bangladesh, crashing to a 23-run loss after chasing a modest target in the opening game of a five-match series in Dhaka.
It is the first bilateral T20 series between the two nations, with Australia having won each of their four World Cup encounters against Bangladesh.
As it was in last month’s series against the West Indies, Australia’s struggles against spin were evident. Bangladesh bowled 13 overs of spin and their slow bowlers took the first six wickets, with their two left arm quicks mopping up the tail.
