That's a wrap to the fourth T20I. Australia have avoided the ignominy of a whitewash with this victory and would be now aiming to make it 3-2 before flying home. Bangladesh though would want to hold the trophy after winning for one final time in the series. Who will come out on top? Do join us on Monday, 9th August 2021 to find out. The first ball will be at 6 pm local (12 pm GMT) but you can join us in advance for the build-up. Cheers!

Mahedi Hasan to Ben McDermott
Tossed up ball, landing on middle and spinning down, McDermott goes back and works it through mid-wicket for a single.

Mahedi Hasan to Matthew Wade
Loopy one, full and outside off, Wade lunges to defend but gets a genuine edge wide of first slip. It runs down to third man and they take a couple.

Mahedi Hasan to Matthew Wade
OUT! SOUND OF TIMBER! Mahedi hurls in a slider around off, at 95 clicks, it lands around off and zips off the surface. Wade is on the front foot, looking to defend but his bat is way away from the line of the delivery. A big gap between bat and pad and it's a safe passage for the ball to sneak through and destroy the stumps behind. Another dismal outing for Wade!

Mahedi Hasan to Dan Christian
Straightaway Christian shows intent. Flighted delivery, full and outside off, Dan lofts it over extra cover and opens his account with a couple of runs.

Mahedi Hasan to Dan Christian
FOUR! Up and over! Dan is sent up the order to score some quick runs. Flatter and fuller outside off, Christian latches onto it and pumps it over mid off for a boundary. 9 from the over, under 100 needed for Australia.
