Left-arm pacers Mustafizur Rahman and Shoriful Islam took two wickets apiece to complement Nasum and secure Bangladesh's first victory against Australia in five encounters.<\/p>\n
Failing to deal with the spinners cost Australia.<\/p>\n
"The plan was simple \u2014 to bowl dot as many as we can," Nasum said.<\/p>\n
"We knew we were short by 10-15 runs but the captain said it was a good total if we can bowl in a disciplined way. Shakib Al Hasan gave me tips in every over and I followed it."<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Shakib, another left-arm spinner, and offspinner Mahedi Hasan also played their part, taking a wicket each.<\/p>\n
Mitchell Marsh, who struck three half-centuries in five matches against the West Indies, was the only Australian to sustain any resistance. He made a run-a-ball 45 before being sixth man out.<\/p>\n
The combination of Nasum, Shakib and Mahedi reduced Australia to 3-11 in the third over.<\/p>\n
Mahedi broke through with the first ball to dismiss Alex Carey, Nasum got Josh Philippe stumped for nine, and Shakib accounted for Moises Henriques before Marsh got going.<\/p>\n
With Shakib and Mahedi denying Australia a flow of runs, Nasum ripped through the middle order in a gem of spin bowling.<\/p>\n
Marsh kept the visitors' hopes alive with calculated aggression, and his confidence grew after hitting Shakib for six. Marsh was undone in Nasum's last over when he went for a slog-sweep, and Australia's chances effectively went with him.<\/p>\n
"You're always disappointed when you're bowled out for 100 or so, we need to find ways to score," Australia skipper Matthew Wade said.<\/p>\n
"We knew they'd bowl a lot of spin at us. If our bowlers can keep giving us 130 to chase, we will mostly find ways to score."<\/p>\n
Made to bat first, Shakib top-scored for Bangladesh with 36 off 33, and opener Mohammad Naim struck a 29-ball 30, clobbering two fours and as many sixes. Afif Hossain added an unbeaten 23 off 16.<\/p>\n
Naim flicked Australia speedster Mitchell Starc for a six over midwicket with a cracking shot in the second ball of the innings.<\/p>\n
Starc's new ball partner, Josh Hazlewood, broke through with the wicket of Soumya Sarkar on two, and Naim was removed by leg-spinner Adam Zampa.<\/p>\n
Shakib and captain Mahmudullah played with caution but failed to rotate the scoreboard rapidly.<\/p>\n
Hazlewood (3-24) broke the partnership, dismissing Mahmudullah for 20 with a knuckle ball.<\/p>\n
Hazlewood also took the crucial wicket of Shakib when he appeared set to pace the scoreboard.<\/p>\n
Starc got a couple of tailenders but Afif Hossain held up one end to help the side go past 130.<\/p>\n
The second match is on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
