Brilliant Zampa Scalps 5/19 for a poor circular Bangladesh for 73 does not count Aussies from the 2021 T20 World Cup.
If South Africa destroys Bangladesh and increases the level of running their webs on Tuesday, Australia does it in a more decisive way against the same bunch on Thursday in Dubai in Dubai.
Producing almost perfect games against Bangladesh who did not understand, Australians ran away to the eight goal romp – with as many as 82 balls for reserves – the biggest T20i victory between two full member teams in terms of the remaining balls – who saw them following.
Proteas to second place in group 1, with their NRR toxic to +1.031, compared to SA’s 0.742.
Thumping Scorecardaustralia’s victory set a thrilling last day in Group 1 on Saturday, when they were jostling with South Africa for the second semifinal place along with England in the pool.
On the judgment day, ‘Australians need to defeat West Indies in Dubai in the afternoon, and then hope that Proteas lost to England in Sharjah.
The bounce returned from the hammer they received from Jos Buttler and England in their last match, Australians did everything they had to do on that day.
With their fast ACE dismissal and leg-spinner Adam Zampa produced the best haul of five for 19 in four overs, Australia fired a mediocre Bangladesh – which followed up 84 in their last match with a worse batting show – for 73 in 15 overs .
Thanks to several battles shown by No 7 Bat Shamim Hossain (19 off 18 balls), Bangladesh somehow threw past their lowest score at the World Cup T20 -70 against New Zealand in 2016.
After Mitchell Starc (2-21), Josh Hazlewood (2-21) 2-21), 2-8) and even Glenn Maxwell (1-6) leaving Bangladesh which staggered with their opening punch, Zampa cleaned the rest of the line-up binder.
He began by sending back Afif Hossain, which added a trip to Aaron Finch on the slip, for a duck, before getting Shamim to the end of the guard.
After he trapped Mahedi Hasan LBW with one who slipped from the surface on the last ball of his three, Zampa was in a hat-trick, but was not lucky to miss the achievement narrowly when Mathew Wade fell behind the stump.
However, no one could stop the 29-year-old player from pocketing the Maiden Fiver at the T20i, because he had Mustafizur Rahman for a long time, and then had very sharp Islam captured by Steve Smith at the slip to end the Bangladesh round.
Need to get 74 at 8.1 overs to pass SA on the table, Australians are empowered in achieving ‘NRR’ missions’ in just 6.2 overs by their old opening company that is flamboyant from captain Aaron Finch (40b, 6×4, 2×4) and David Warner (18, 14b, 3×4), before Mitchell Marsh remembered (16 did not come out, 5b, 1×6, 2×4) spent a flask process with six Ahmed tasks drawn fiercely.
A brilliant victory was sweet revenge for Australians over Bangladesh, after the latter had defeated them 4-1 in the T20i series on Turners returning home.
Soaking a disappointing World Cup campaign, disappointing 2021 T20 for ‘The Tigers,’ who lost all five of their matches at Super 12s.
They have not defeated the test team since the 2007 edition.
