A disaster performance from the batsmen led Bangladesh to score only 104 in the fourth twenty20 international of their five-match series against Australia.
Only Afif Hossain and Shak Mahedi Hasan batted with a strike rate over 100 as the other batsmen struggled with their timing and could never up the ante.
Mitchell Swepson, playing his first match in the series, was the killer-in-chief as he picked up three wickets for only 12 runs. Tye also picked up three wickets.
Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah Riyad decided to bat first again as they fielded an unchanged XI. Australia brought in a couple of changes as Tye and Swepson came in instead of Adam Zampa and Nathan Ellis, who was rested.
Soumya Sarkar continued on his poor form as he was dismissed by Josh Hazlewood for eight, his highest score this series. Coming in at number three, Shakib Al Hasan struggled with his timing throughout his tenuous knock of 15 from 26 deliveries.
After Shakib was sent back by Hazlewood, leg-spinner Swepson struck in consecutive deliveries to send Mahmudullah and Nurul Hasan Sohan back with two googlies. None of the batsmen bothered the scorers as both of them went back for a duck.
Naim Sheikh was Swepson’s next victim as the opener tried a slog sweep to only lob it straight up in the air for wicket-keeper Matthew Wade to take a dolly. Naim had just survived a review for LBW the previous delivery but could not use up that opportunity.
Afif showed some intent as he hit Ashton Agar for a six but got out in that over for 20 as he was caught at deep mid-wicket trying to hit another six.
Shamim Hossain failed in the fourth consecutive match as Tye deceived him with a knuckle ball to take Bangladesh’s seventh wicket.
A four and a six from Mahedi allowed Bangladesh to cross three figures before he was out for 23, and a last-ball dismissal of Shoriful Islam ensured that the Tigers ended on 104 for nine.
