3rd One Day International, Darwin, 6th September.
Bangladesh has been moved towards 2-0 defeat in the series. Now they are looking to save their pride in the upcoming match so that they could be able to defy the critics. They will try to get unexpected victory over world champions Australia. The touring team knows well and has seen their level of game in the 1st two matches. They received strong defeat and heavily beaten in the last two matches.
That was a team which moved a lot of commentators in the 2007 World Cup. But in the recent times, their development appears to have moved backward. A lot of people are today asking them to drop off their Test match status. Even so, they've been meeting Australia.
Bangladesh has fought on all fronts with the big top score of single hitters constituting a small score of 30. The bowling has appeared definitely poor.
But the all of the Bangladeshi batsmen have come out awestruck by the pace and nagging lines, which is a significant feature of the Australian bowlers. The Bangladeshi bowling attack received hard and repeated hard hits.
Particularly to talk about is the bowler Shahadat Hossain. He took the role of cannon fodder for the opposition batsmen. He showed irregularities in his action, which led in a loss of the basic requirements of bowling i.e. like line and length. However, he isn't the single chargeable party. The entire attack has looked tame. They couldn’t put up Australia with any challenge.
