Australia beat Bangladesh by 3 wickets in Bangalore to pick up their first points of the World T20.

Bowling first, Steve Smith’s leg-spinner Adam Zampa (3-23) and all-rounder Shane Watson (2-31) came through for the Aussies and later, Usman Khawaja stuck his maiden T20I to get them home.

Bangladesh on their part were still reeling from the shock of having two of their key bowlers suspended from the tournament after failing a test on their bowling action over the weekend.
