Twitter reactions as Bangladesh humble Australia yet again | Fans react on Twitter as Bangladesh win the T20I series against Australia with 3-0 lead
Five days ago, Bangladesh had never won a single T20 International against Australia. Fast forward a few days later, and the Tigers have created history, beating the Aussies in a series for the first time in any format.
And they fully deserve it. They have won all the key moments across the three matches against a hapless and clueless Australian side, including keeping their nerve in crucial stages of the third T20I.
The performance of Mustafizur Rahman (4-0-9-0) was particularly brilliant, conceding just one run in the penultimate over to leave Australia with too much to do in the 20th. Mahedi Hasan did enough to keep Australia at bay, before big celebrations broke out among the Bangladeshi players and staff.
For Australia, where do we begin? They were at the mercy of Twitter banter in the aftermath of yet another defeat, but more crucially, they still don’t have the answers when placed under pressure. Mitchell Marsh, the only bright spot in the batting department across terrible tours of West Indies and Bangladesh, has scored 40.75% of his team’s runs across the three matches in this series. Now, Australia have lost five straight T20I series, with the lack of batting depth a significant worry.
The silver lining for the Australian public is that this poor show is not easily available as this is the first Australian men’s series not broadcast in Australia since 1994. Conversely, this moment will be remembered in Bangladesh for years to come. Here are the Twitter reactions from a fine Bangladeshi series win:
