CRIK:Aussie tweakers spin their web over Bangladesh in T20

Adam Zampa and debutant Joel Davies have spun Australia to a four-wicket win over Bangladesh in the first T20 of their three-match series.

After winning the toss and electing to bat, Bangladesh were bundled out for an under-par 131 in 19 overs, which the Aussies moved past with 10 deliveries to spare at Chattogram on Wednesday to take a 1-0 series lead.

Cooper Connolly, the hero of Australia's ODI victory in Dhaka on Sunday, continued his form surge, top-scoring with 47 in an otherwise unconvincing chase from the tourists.

The Tigers made a fast start before recklessly submitting to Australia's slow bowlers, nine of the 10 wickets falling to spin.

Bowling allrounder Mahedi Hasan (29no), opener Saif Hassan (20) and No.3 Soumya Sarkar (17) were the only Bangladesh batters to pass 10.
