Australia ended Bangladesh’s campaign in the Twenty20 World Cup by downing them by 27 runs at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown. On what was a quick and bouncy track, Australia were rattled up at 65 for 6 but could reach to 141 for 7 thanks to the rescue act from Michael Hussey (47* from 29 balls with 4 fours and a six) and Steven Smith (27 from 18 balls with a four and 2 sixes).

Having got enough runs on the board, the Aussie fast bowlers used the fast pitch to their advantage to shatter Bangladesh to 15 for 4. They were eventually bundled out for 114 in 18,4 overs with Dirk Nannes taking four wickets. Michael Hussey took three catches to go along with his 47* to get the Man of the Match.
