"Don't know about that, we made it difficult at the end and Bangladesh bowled quite well in the middle overs. it was about the top four going on and get a not out and making it more clinical. We haven't been good enough in the middle overs," says Smith. "We've had a bit of travel, but its not an excuse. Pakistan and India play well in these conditions and we have to do better. They're different, the pitches weren't like this in the IPL. Our players have to adapt better."
"First six overs was crucial, we knew this ground was high-scoring. Our fielding and bowling could have been better. Mahmudullah played really well, Mithun and Shakib too," says Mashrafe, "Two losses in a row, but we have two matches left and we'll see what happens"
10.50 pm That become quite tense, but a couple of mishaps in the field could not have come at a more opportune time for Australia. They will take a three-wicket victory and stay alive in the World T20, but their performance tonight, barring a hugely impressive Usman Khawaja, still demands introspection. Bangladesh, as well, had their chances, but tossing the debutant Sajib an over with 30 odd runs to get broke the game open. It seemed like Mashrafe wanted to get his overs done with when the pressure was lesser. Then there was also the instance when he couldn't go for a catch that was his, he bowled only one over too. Some questions over the Bangladesh captain. But Mustafiz' cutters turned things interesting, Shakib chipped in as well and pace off the ball provided a lot of problems. In the end, batting down to No. 10 helped Australia survive.
"Nice to make a bit of a difference. After a disappointing loss to New Zealand, nice to get the the tournament rolling. Playing in the BBL, 80,000 people, I'm used to it. I've played three or four games here now, its a learning curve. Just getting used to the length and the pace and to different players and their areas. We've had a bit of travel, off to Mohali now and we'll be there for a week, that'll be nice," says Man of the Match Adam Zampa
Amrit: "I just couldn't imagine this. It seemed both were desperately trying to loose. The most desperate team lost."
Five from 12 with Faulkner and Nevill together. Loads of time being taken to set the field.Slip has been placed. Third man and fine leg are up.
Kynan: "This is absolutely dreadful by Australia. They will win this game, but this does not inspire confidence when they face India and Pakistan. Shows their inexperience."

Adi: "What is this? the moment we start believing the next moment we're not.... T20 plays with people's emotions a lot "
Shihab: "For all the talk about Bangladesh's spinners, Shakib, Mahumudullah and Sajib, all went for 8 an over or more. That'll be the difference between two teams."
