Dhaka, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 6th Aug, 2021 ) :Australia made three changes to the side to play Bangladesh in a crucial third Twenty20 international Friday as they fought to stay in the five-match series.
After a rain delay of more than 90 minutes, Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah Riyad won the toss and chose to bat first with an unchanged side.
Bangladesh, who won the first two matches -- the opener by 23 runs and the second match by five wickets -- have never beaten Australia in any cricket format.
"It is a big opportunity for us so we would like to crack it tonight," said Mahmudullah.
Australian captain Matthew Wade brought in Ben McDermott for Josh Philippe, while Nathan Ellis made his debut as Australia rested fast bowlers Mitchell Starc and Andrew Tye.
Veteran allrounder Dan Christian was also brought into the side.
