Nannes' burst demolishes Bangladesh

Bangladesh, who needed to win this match convincingly to knock either Group A rivals Australia or Pakistan out on superior run-rate, reduced Australia to 65 for six inside 13 overs after Aussie captain Michael Clarke won the toss.

But man-of-the-match Michael Hussey held firm with an unbeaten 47 and was well-supported in a stand of 74 in seven overs by Steven Smith (27) as Australia finished on 141 for seven. And on a pitch full of pace and bounce, Bangladesh - who've often struggled against fast bowling ufffd collapsed to 15 for four inside overs as they failed to cope with Nannes and fellow quick Shaun Tait.

Left-armer Nannes finished with figures of four for 18 ufffd an Australian Twenty20 international record as Bangladesh were bowled out for 114 with eight balls to spare. "It's a very satisfying win," said Clarke.

Clarke added: "Our execution with the ball was spot on, these conditions are really going to help our fast bowlers. There was a lot of pace and bounce in that wicket and a bit of spin as well." Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan said: "We need to be much more disciplined and think one step ahead so we can win some games."
