Marsh powers Australia to series sweep as Johnson makes history
Mitchell Marsh flourished with the bat and Spencer Johnson bowled a record-setting spell as Australia beat Bangladesh by seven wickets.
Australia completed a 3-0 series sweep in style on Sunday, with captain Marsh in sparkling form as he plundered 60 runs from 28 balls.
Marsh's knock came after Australia's bowlers had paved the way, with Johnson (2-6) leading the way.
Left-arm quick Johnson was aided by Nathan Ellis (2-21) and Adam Zampa (2-22), while Nikhil Chaudhary (1-27) also chipped in to limit Bangladesh to 109-8.
Parvez Hossain Emon (61) was the only batter to perform for the hosts, with Rishad Hossain (16) the only other Bangladesh player to get into double figures.
Marsh and Josh Inglis had powered Australia to 54 before the latter succumbed to Nasum Ahmed (1-10) on 17 in the sixth over.
Shoriful Islam (1-26) did for Marsh and Rishad Hossain (1-22) dismissed Cooper Connolly (15), but the damage was already done, as Matt Renshaw (6 not out) and Tim David (12 not out) guided Australia to a superb triumph.

Johnson makes Australia history
Chaudhary opened the bowling for Australia, becoming the first leg-spinner to do so at the start of a T20I.
But the day belonged to Johnson, as the 30-year-old bowled Australia's most economical four over spell in the shortest format.
Johnson went for 4-0-6-2, taking the wickets of Saif Hassan (1) and Shamim Hossain (0).
Australia are on a four-match winning streak in T20Is after winning only one of their previous eight matches in the format.
This is the first time they have wrapped up a bilateral T20I series in Asia without suffering a defeat since beating India 2-0 in February 2019.
