Play at Dhaka for the first one day has commenced. These are the two teams which will be playing in the first match and the pitch and otehr details are here to.
Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat Captain had this to say
"Yes its a very dry flat pitch which we reckon we can score alot of in the first innings and try to put pressure on Australia in the second innings when they bat."
Ricky PONTING
"Yes I definatly would have batted first but thats the way it goes you lose the toss you dont get to choose. Yeah but anyway we got our 3 strike bowlers Lee, Tait and Clark starting the bowling to put pressure on one will have 3 the others 2 then spinners come in cullen and probably michael clarke. Then Pace to finish the innings. I am also aware of the fact that its bangladesh's first 20/20 well were going to put alot of pressure on them to make them feel uncomfortable for the whole series as it is all 20/20.
Stuart Clark has taken the first wicket to remove batsman Javeed Omar. The ball hit him in front of leg stump on a yorker by stuart clark. Clark got the wicket on his second ball despite getting a dropped catch on the first
PS Sorry guys the full presentation isnt in that one i had to do it quick cause were only in the second over.
SHAUN TAIT TAKES A THRILLER
Shaun tait may be into his second over but he has taken a thrilling wicket. The ball was bowled just short of a yorkers length. His first over he went for 6 but he let dan cullen take over his end and went to Clark's end. The wicket dismissed Sarkar for 37. 7.1 overs have fallen Bangladesh are 2-57
Shaun tait has taken another wicket that over. He absolutley bowled that fast and it was caught down on the boundry. Habibul bashar smashed it but Cullens fielding and diving skills hung on to the catch. Bashar was removed for 18. Tait finishes his second over and might even have another or save his last two for later on. 8 Overs gone They are 3-59. Tait has really kept the runrate down.
Brett Lee has come into the attack to take the wicket of Rajin Saleh for 11. The catch was caught down on the boundary by Michael Clarke. A beautiful wicket with a lot of pace. Bangladesh are 5-82 off 11.2 Overs.

Brett Lee has gotten another wicket the exact same way he got the otherone they are now 6/82 off 11.1 Overs. Bangladesh excelled in the first 5 overs and have just completely lost it. No need to do teh stats as there are no changes.
EDIT: BRETT LEE GOT ANOTHER SO ITS 7/82 and hes on a hattirck with one ball left in the over
James_W Cullen wasnt with the new ball that wicket was like around the 7th over cause Lee opened with Clark.
Dan Cullen has taken two more wickets to remove Rahman and Razzak. Bangladesh are 9-100 after 13.4 Overs. For the first wicket Cullen used a specail delivery which the batsman didnt time right. He was caught in gully. The second one the ball was a straight ball and was Caught down on the boundry by sturart clark. Cullen has 3 wickets like lee, Tait has 2 and Clark has one. One more wicket to get who will get it. Australia will probably have a total of 100ish. Brett Lee will come into the attack next over.
Bangladesh has been bowled out for 104 off 14 overs to a GREAT bowling attack. Cullen took 4 wickets with Brett lee taking 3. Tait took 2. And clark who opened the bowling and didnt bowl since his third over got 1. Tait was the cheepest. Australia need 105 to win and they can do it in 20 OVERS. Glichrist and Katich open the batting with Ponting, Martyn, Hussey, Clarke, Symonds, Lee and Cullen. Heaps of batting. Just over 5 an over Australia can take it easy.
