T20 World Cup LIVE: Australia’s Super Eights campaign kicks off against Bangladesh

Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell used masterful variations in pace to claim wickets in successive overs. Neither spinner is a big turner of the ball in anything other than extremely helpful conditions, but they each have excellent sleight of hand when it comes to generating a miscue. Zampa offered Litton Das a slower, classical leg break to drive before firing in a faster ball that fizzed through to the stumps via the thigh. Maxwell then produced a delivery not dissimilar to the one that deceived Rohit Sharma in last year’s World Cup final, messing with the timing of Rishad Hossain and coaxing an edge well held by Zampa at short third.

Australia have claimed two wickets in two overs to stymy Bangladesh’s promising start. Glenn Maxwell dismissed Rishad Hossain for two from four balls when he batsman charged the last delivery of Maxwell’s first over, slicing it to Adam Zampa at short third man

Bangladesh: 3-67 from 10 overs - half way

Adam Zampa has taken a much-needed wicket for Australia as Bangladesh continued to increase their scoring rate. Litton Das attempted a sweep which flicked his body on the way to hitting the stumps. He made 16 in 25 balls.

Bangladesh: 2-60 from 9 overs

The left-handed Shanto brought up Bangladesh’s 50 with a slice over wicketkeeper Matthew Wade from a Marcus Stoinis short ball in his first over, which cost 10 runs.

Bangladesh: 1-57 from eight overs

Adam Zampa was brought on after six overs in response to Bangladesh lifting their run rate, but his second ball was pulled to the boundary in an over that conceded eight runs including a leg bye.

Bangladesh: 1-47 from 7 overs

It took Litton Das 15 balls to score his first boundary, pulling a shortish ball from Mitchell Starc over mid-wicket to move to six. Das ended up taking 10 from the over, including slicing another boundary just past keeper Matthew Wade and inside short third man David Warner.

Bangladesh: 1-27 from five overs

In contrast to Hazlewood’s maiden first over, Najmul Hossain Shanto charged the first ball of the fast bowlers second over and launched it back over the bowler’s head. Shanto’s 13 from nine balls contrasted with Litton Das, who had two from 12 balls.

Bangladesh: 1-17 from 4 overs

Josh Hazlewood was his typical metronomic self bowling the second over of Bangladesh’s innings. Every ball was tight around off-stump, preventing Litton Das from getting off the mark.

Bangladesh: 1-4 from 2 overs
