Johnson's 2-6 leads Australia to T20 rout of Bangladesh | The Standard
Speedster Spencer Johnson has produced the most economical four-over spell by an Australian in T20Is to guide his country to a ruthless seven-wicket win over Bangladesh, sealing a 3-0 series sweep.
Johnson finished with the stunning figures of 2-6 from four overs as Australia restricted the Tigers to a paltry 8-109 from their 20 overs in the third and final match at Chattogram on Sunday.
The tourists cruised to victory with 54 deliveries to spare, finishing on 3-112.
Captain Mitch Marsh made light work of the modest target, bludgeoning 60 off 28 balls - including seven fours and four sixes - to be named player of the match.
"I'm not sure how I got man of the match - I think Spencer Johnson took 2-6 off four overs, so maybe he should be up here," Marsh said sheepishly at the post-match presentation.
"The way we adapted to the conditions each and every game and took our learnings, I thought we were fantastic with the ball today."
Johnson set the tone, conceding one run off the second over of the innings, one off the fourth, two off the ninth and, most impressively, just two off the 20th.

However, Renshaw and Tim David steadied the innings with a rapid 50-run partnership that came off just 27 deliveries. Although David departed after a quick-fire 30 from 13 balls, Renshaw continued his aggressive approach.

Matt Renshaw’s all-round show helped Australia claim a seven-run win over Bangladesh in the second T20I in Chattogram on Friday to seal the three-match series.
Renshaw’s career-best 89* after Australia won the toss and decided to bat first helped the visitors reach 196-5, which they defended in a last-over thriller, with Bangladesh only managing 189-6.
Chasing 197, Bangladesh made a blistering start through openers Tanzid Hasan and Saif Hassan, who put on 48 in just 3.4 overs to raise hopes of a series-levelling win.
Tanzid smashed 30 off 15 balls with four fours and a six before Renshaw made the breakthrough, taking a sharp return catch off his own bowling.
Soumya Sarkar kept up the momentum as Bangladesh raced to 72-1 at the end of the powerplay, but Adam Zampa removed him for 15 to slow the charge.
Parvez Hossain Emon then counter-attacked, hammering 36 off 22 balls and combining with Saif in a 53-run stand to keep Bangladesh on course.
But Australia came back in the game when Aaron Hardie dismissed Emon, with captain Mitchell Marsh taking a running catch at cover, before Joel Davies removed the set Saif for 42.

Australia survived a scare to clinch its first series win since last summer’s Ashes as Matt Renshaw’s all-round excellence came to the fore in Chattogram on Friday night.
Having lost a Twenty20 series in Pakistan in January, been sent packing early from the Twenty20 World Cup and then lost a pair of one-day series already on this tour,
the Aussies managed to stall a promising chase from Bangladesh to secure a seven-run win.
It means Australia has an unassailable 2-0 series lead with one match remaining on Sunday. It is the Aussies’ first bilateral T20 series win against Bangladesh.
The result will be heartening for Australia as it starts building toward the dual T20 landmarks of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and a home world cup l…
