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.

"Coops has had a taste of international cricket over the last 12 months and he's only going to continue to grow and get better the more comfortable he feels," said Australian captain Mitch Marsh, who missed the 2-1 ODI series loss with an ankle injury.
