Analysis
The T20 format has turned out to be much more competitive than what is found frequently in Test and one-day cricket between Bangladesh and Australia. However, Bangladesh claim the fact that they can compete against any team in the world in the shortest format of the game. This series was an epitome of Bangladesh cricket showing how efficient and confident the side has become in T20Is.
Conclusion
In total, right from the beginning of their cricketing alliances, it can be seen that Australia has had the upper hand over Bangladesh, especially in Test and ODI cricket. Nonetheless, they have made reasonable progress in international cricket, especially in T20Is, where they have been able to achieve significant triumphs and also won the T20I series in 2021. For the future of this rivalry, Bangladesh is gradually getting better, and poses more frequent and vigorous opposition to Australians in all forms of the game. Still, it is obvious that Australia is one of the strongest teams; and Bangladesh’s recent performances indicate that there might be more of a rivalry coming in the near future.
