It's quite nice - Cooper Connolly
"Yeah, it's quite nice to get over the line there. I was a little bit nervous, was backing Zampa and and Riley to get us over the line, but yeah, it's nice to have a win. (You seem to enjoy your role as an opener with that kind of innings that you did?) Yeah, it's definitely satisfying, but obviously there's two world-class players at the top in Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh."
Australia get over the line
Coming to the match won the toss and opted to bat first, and yet again it was the middle order of the home side who put the runs, Towhid Hridoy scoring 83 runs and Mosaddek Hossain scoring 56 runs as they posted 274/5.
