Not that it was close or a nail-biter either. Bangladesh were just too good for Australia
The first innings by Bangladesh's seamers laid the foundation for the win as they dismantled the Australian top order in Darwin on a green-stained wicket.
Hasan Mahmud stood out in the 6/55 career best performance as he spearheaded the demolition job. Taskin Ahmed and Ebadot Hossain chipped in with crucial contributions as Australia were bowled out for just 198 in reply to Bangladesh's 199.
Bangladesh then displayed their mettle with the bat as opener Tanzid Tamim stood firm against the Australian bowling to score a brilliant 101 off 197 deliveries.
That set up Tamim and Shanto to post a competitive total as the chasing side needed a big score in the second innings. However, Australia did not manage to do so as Bangladesh's bowlers once again stood up to the task and did not allow the home side to post a challenging total.
Dominant. Commanding. Controlling.

A target of 57 runs became the talk of the town as Bangladesh only needed 14.2 overs to reach the winning score.
