Australia have already lost the series, with the hosts having won the first three matches. Bangladesh encountered early troubles with their batsmen unable to time the ball well. Opener Soumya Sarkar (8) was the first to go, inducing a top-which was comfortably taken by Alex Carey off Josh Hazelwood`s bowling

Australia finally tasted victory in their five-match T20I series against Bangladesh, winning a low-scoring fourth match by three wickets, with Dan Christian`s 15-ball 39 easing the chase after the bowlers had restricted the hosts to 104.
In what should have been an easy chase, Bangladesh`s Mehedi Hasan 2/17) and Mustafizur Rahman (2/9) made things difficult for Australia. However, a total of 104 on the board posted by the hosts after opting to bat first, left little room for the bowlers to force the result in their favour. They did make life difficult for the Australian batsmen who got over the line with just three wickets in hand and an over to spare late on Saturday evening.
