The replays show that Henriques is definitely short and Shakib Al Hasan has got a fingertip on it.

Appeal for a run out at the bowler's end. Has the bowler got some fingertips on the ball? Is Moises Henriques backing up too much?

Australia lose their 4th wicket.

Fine leg comes up. Square leg drops back.

An inswinger this time, on a length and around off, Sarkar defends it from the inner half to square leg and runs to the other end.

A 125.4 kph delivery, a touch short around middle and off and there is some extra bounce, Sarkar stays back and plays it down at the last moment to the off side.

Back of a length ball on off, angling away, Sarkar taps it down to cover-point and looks for a run. He is sent back immediately by his partner.

Josh Hazlewood to run in from the other end. He has been exemplary on this tour so far. One slip in place.

Fuller and on off, Naim drives it down the ground but finds the mid off fielder. Two runs from the opening over.

Shortish and on middle, Soumya goes back and nurdles it in the gap at mid-wicket for a single. He is off the mark.

Flighted delivery, full and around leg, stopping a bit on the batsman, Sarkar defends it off his pads.

Too full in length and on middle, Naim clips it through mid-wicket and takes a single. Bangladesh are away!

Quicker and flatter, a touch short around off, Naim goes back to cut but is cramped for room. It takes the inner half and rolls back to the bowler.

False start. The batsman was not ready. Ashton will have to reload.

Floated one, full and around off, Naim is on the front foot and defends it back a shade uppishly.

The players concerned are out in the centre. Mohammad Naim and Soumya Sarkar are the openers for Bangladesh. The latter has had a torrid time so far in this series and needs to redeem himself. Australia are beginning with the spin of Ashton Turner. Here we go...

Pitch report - This surface was used for the second match and is pretty hard. Lots of rolling have gone on and 130 will be a good score.

Australia (Playing XI) - Matthew Wade (WK/C), Ben McDermott, Mitchell Marsh, Moises Henriques, Alex Carey, Ashton Turner, Dan Christian, Ashton Agar, Andrew Tye (In for Nathan Ellis), Mitchell Swepson (In for Adam Zampa), Josh Hazlewood.

Bangladesh (Unchanged Playing XI) - Mohammad Naim, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah (C), Afif Hossain, Nurul Hasan (WK), Shamim Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Nasum Ahmed.

Toss - Mahmudullah has won the toss and BANGLADESH ELECT TO BAT! The Bangla skipper says that they are not really over the moon and need to stay grounded and play good cricket. Adds that the pitch will be the same as before and they will have to execute their skills. Matthew Wade says that they are disappointed with their performance so far and it's another opportunity for them and they are keen to turn it around. Informs about a couple of changes with Adam Zampa and Nathan Ellis rested.

Australia's plight with the bat on a slowish deck has continued. They struggled recently in West Indies and now Bangladesh have kept those scars open. This is the worst possible preparation a team can have before the T20 World Cup. Agreed that Australia are without their first-choice players on this tour but we are not sure how the big guns would have fared in these conditions after all the spin woes for them have existed for a decade if not more.

Before the start of this tour, Bangladesh had never beaten Australia in this format and the visitors led the head-to-head battle 4-0. It's now narrowed down to 4-3 and the Bangla Tigers have a golden opportunity to not only bag a whitewash but also sneak ahead in the H2H record.

Welcome, folks! It's yet another quick turnaround in the series with back-to-back matches. The feeling of a series win over Australia would not have sunk in for Bangladesh completely and here they are, getting ready to lock horns with the Aussies in the 4th T20I in Dhaka. In a way, the hosts won't mind turning up so quickly as they have the momentum and the motivation for a clean sweep. Australia have two matches left to salvage some pride after a dismal three games. Their batting continues to be the issue and at the moment, it appears that there is no solution available. Let's see what's in store this evening.

... MATCH DAY ...
