AUS v BAN, 3rd T20I: Marsh Helps Australia Complete Series Sweep
Mitchell Marsh’s 60 off 28 balls powered Australia’s chase as the visitors finished the series with a seven-wicket win and a 3-0 sweep, officials said.
On Sunday, June 21, 2026, Australia defeated Bangladesh by 7 wickets at the Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium, securing a 3-0 T20I series sweep with 54 balls to spare.
After choosing to bat first, Bangladesh were restricted to 109/8 by a disciplined Australian bowling attack. Captain Towhid Hridoy fought a lonely battle, scoring an unbeaten 61 while only one other batter reached double digits.
Chasing a 110-run target, Captain Mitchell Marsh led with a blazing 60 off 28 balls, hitting seven fours and four sixes. Australia reached the target in 11 overs, with Marsh earning 'Player of the Match' honors.
"Nice to leave this series 3-0," Marsh said, praising the bowling performance. Hridoy admitted, "we did not play well," acknowledging the team's inability to establish crucial partnerships during the match.
The T20I sweep provides Australia with a significant morale boost following their 2-1 loss in the preceding ODI series, demonstrating dominance across all three fixtures during the tour in Chattogram.
