Presentation

Winning captain Matthew Wade:: "We've worked hard over the last few games and not had the result go our way. It's hard work out there. The way Dan played, thats the difference between moving and losing sometimes. We needed big runs up top, and that changed the match. Management and staff had a chat, and we wanted to find runs somewhere, and it was difficult to do it in the back end. So we made the decision to send Dan out early, and we hoped he would capitalise on it with only two fielders in the boundary. It would be nice for players, myself included, to score more runs. It's not that we are batting that poorly, even they are struggling. But we'll get one more opportunity to put a score out there next game, both personally and as a team. The bowlers have obviously dominated in this series. You're looking to get quick 30s and quick 40s. We may play three spinners next game."

Mitchell Swepson is the Player of the Match: "It was definitely nice to get the nod to play. Nice conditions to bowl. Have never experienced such conditions back, and enjoyed. Hope to get another chance next game. On such turning wickets, I actually had a hard time keeping the ball straight.

Losing captain Mahmudullah: "It was always difficult to chase, but we didn't assess the wicket well enough batting first. It was a 120-targetn wicket. Having said that bowlers did a good job to take it to the 19th over. But as batters we need to be cautious and sensible. Today's wicket was hardest among all. Dan Christian whole the change scenario but it can happen in a T20 game. We know Shakib is a champion bowler. We wanted to keep Mustafizur a bit late for the 19th over. But the bowlers did well, its the batters who didn't."

tanmoy maiti: "No one is criticizing Shakib...they are criticizing the captain to bring Fizz late"

9.15pm A hard-earned win for Australia and Mahmudullah fist-pumps the Bangladesh bowlers too for the fight they showed defending such a low total. Dan Christian's match changing innings ensured Australia were always ahead of the chase. Agar's 27-ball 27 was crucial too on this surface.

Rafiq Fahim: "One bad match doesn't mean that he is a ordinary bowler. Every player may have bad days. Don't criticise Shakib for today's game. "

Asib Auvi : "Bd fans thought of for a Banglawash, but Australia came back strong. Congratulations. "
