Overview
- Australia sealed the three‑match T20 series in Chattogram with a seven‑run win on Friday to take an unassailable 2-0 lead.
- Matt Renshaw scored a career‑best unbeaten 89 off 52 balls and also took a wicket, steering Australia to 196‑5 and then contributing with 1‑13 with the ball.
- A 97‑run partnership between Renshaw and Tim David revived Australia from 44‑3 and set the platform for their highest T20 total against Bangladesh.
- Bangladesh raced to 72‑1 in the powerplay with aggressive starts from Tanzid Hasan and Saif Hassan but lost key wickets in the middle overs and finished 189‑6, seven runs short.
- The result reverses the tour narrative after Bangladesh’s earlier 2-1 ODI win and leaves Sunday’s third T20 as a dead‑rubber that teams can use to try players and fix selection questions.
