Match
How did the match pan out?
Bangladesh were off to an ideal start after electing to bat.
However, the Australian bowlers made them work for boundaries, eventually choking their flow of runs.
Bangladesh managed a mere 122/8 after 20 overs.
Although Australia lost only two wickets in the powerplay, they struggled to accelerate.
Only Matthew Wade and Ben McDermott scored in double figures as Australia perished for 62.
Australia
Australia's lowest total in T20Is
As stated, Australia have registered their lowest total in T20 Internationals (62).
Their previous lowest score in the format was against England (79) at the Rose Bowl, Southampton in 2005.
Australia's innings lasted only 13.4 overs, the shortest in their history.
This is the least number of overs Australia have batted in an innings since March 15, 1877.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh's first series win against Australia
Bangladesh have won their first-ever bilateral series in any format against Australia.
Prior to this series, Australia had won six consecutive international series against Bangladesh, while one was drawn.
Paradoxically, the Aussies have now lost as many as five bilateral T20I series played by them over the last 12 months.
Their opponents Bangladesh have won eight out of last nine matches at home.
Shakib
Second man to claim 100 T20I wickets
Star all-rounder Shakib showed his class in the final T20I.
He scalped four wickets for just nine runs in 3.4 overs.
In the process, Shakib became only the second man to claim 100 or more T20I wickets.
He is now only behind Sri Lankan veteran Lasith Malinga, who owns 107 wickets.
Shakib was adjudged the Player of the Series for his all-round display.
