Bangladesh Vs Australia LIVE Score, 1st T20I: Zampa Spins A Web As Hridoy Falls After Brief Fireworks

Adam Zampa joins the party! The Australian spinner strikes as Towhid Hridoy’s short stay at the crease comes to an end. After smashing a six and looking to keep the momentum going, Hridoy misses the line completely against Zampa’s delivery and the stumps are knocked back.

Bangladesh lose another wicket, with Hridoy walking back for a quick 8 off just five balls.

Bangladesh bring up the 50-run mark. Soumya Sarkar squeezes a low full toss outside off towards mid-off, managing to steal a quick single and keep the scoreboard ticking. A steady start from Bangladesh as they continue to build their innings, with the batters looking comfortable at the crease.

The action is ready to begin! Saif Hassan and Tanzid Hasan Tamim walk out to open the innings, with Saif taking guard at the striker’s end. The fielders are in place, the crowd is settling in, and the new ball is about to do its thing. Spencer Johnson has the ball in hand and will charge in with the first over of the contest. A cracking start awaits!

Bangladesh opener Litton Das has been ruled out of the first match due to a minor calf injury. National team physio Delowar Hossain Shiva confirmed that Litton has suffered a Grade 1 strain in his left calf muscle following a medical assessment.

Shiva stated that the injury is not serious, with Litton making good progress in his recovery. While he will miss the opening fixture, the batter could return for the upcoming matches depending on his rehabilitation and response to treatment. The team management will continue to assess his fitness closely.
