'We've settled the score' – Renshaw after Australia seal T20I series

Matt Renshaw said Australia had managed to "settle the score" with Bangladesh after sealing the T20I series in Chattogram with a game to spare, having lost the preceding ODI series.

Bangladesh entered the T20Is high on confidence after their 2-1 ODI series win, but Australia responded emphatically, winning the first two matches. Renshaw played a pivotal role in the series-clinching victory, scoring an unbeaten 89 in the second T20I.

"Yeah, a little bit," Renshaw said. "In the one-day series we were probably 20-30 runs short in a couple of games. These last two games, chasing it down in the first and setting a really nice target today, it's nice to get a little bit of the rub of the green. It's nice to get a couple of wins and wrap up the series after two games."

Renshaw revealed that clear communication helped him and Tim David rebuild Australia's innings after they had slipped to 44 for 3. The pair added 97 in 50 deliveries to help Australia finish with 196.

"I wouldn't say there was a plan. It's just the way Timmy plays. There was a short boundary, the wind was going that way and he liked the match-up. It was about really good communication around which bowlers we wanted to attack and which ones we didn't. Even if we had a few dot balls, it wasn't the end of the world."

Renshaw admitted he struggled for clarity during the ODI series. "For me, it was just about having really good intent. That's probably something I lacked during the one-dayers. There was a little bit of a lack of clarity around how I wanted to play. Today, I would've been happy with 20 the way I started my innings, and fortunately I got a few more."

Beyond his batting, Renshaw has emerged as one of Australia's most effective bowlers on tour, claiming eight wickets in five matches. "Well, apparently my bowling's not great," Renshaw joked. "I saw a little tidbit from one of the Bangladeshi players. I see my bowling more from a batter's point of view – trying to work out what the batter is looking to do each ball. Fortunately, I've picked up a few wickets and that's been nice."

Bangladesh missed Litton's stabilising presence, says Emon

Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter Parvez Hossain Emon felt his side lacked a batter who could bat deep during their seven-run defeat.

In reply to Australia's total, Bangladesh threatened at various stages but finished short. Saif Hassan and Emon added 53 for the third wicket but both fell in quick succession, leaving the middle order with too much to do.

"It would've been better for us if Saif bhai had batted longer. But mistakes happen," Emon said. "To chase a total like that, you need one big score. Most of us got starts and were out in the 30-40 range. If one of us had converted that into a big score, the chase would've become much easier."

Emon stressed that even in T20 cricket a batter needs to hold one end up. "Having one person hold the innings is important. Today the target was quite big. When Saif bhai and I were batting, we were talking about staying there and capitalising on the loose balls."

Emon admitted Bangladesh missed the experience of Litton Kumar Das. "Yes, dada plays that role very well. We are definitely missing him a lot."
