Australian cricket team finally registered their first win in the fourth T20I of the five-match series which hosts Bangladesh have won by winning the first three T20Is being played at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.
All-rounder Dan Christian who smashed 39 runs off 15 balls which included 5 maximums in an over against Shakib Al Hasan, talked about the conditions being really difficult and he has not faced anything like this in his career.
“These are as difficult conditions as I've seen for T20 cricket - 120 is like 190, it's an extremely difficult place to try and bat. We've seen all the spinners and even the seamers, as soon as they start bowling slower balls it's really, really hard work,” ESPNcricinfo quoted Christian as saying.
“They don't compare to anything I've faced in my career. It's holding in the surface, gripping and turning and it's a big ground as well. It's certainly been different cricket but in terms of getting into a rhythm or any kind of flow it's been pretty hard,” the Aussie added.
The right-hand explosive batsman then talked about if the conditions were the same in the upcoming T20 World Cup slated to be held in UAE.
“I don't think they'll be anything like it. Say, somewhere like Sharjah where you get a bit of dew at night time and it's a small ground, so 220 can be a winning score.
Maybe at Dubai or Abu Dhabi they'll be a bit slower but they are- still 170-180 wickets normally...there's an IPL before the World Cup, so there might be some worn tracks but think they are pretty used to getting them back up,” the 38-year-old said.
Australia has already lost the ongoing T20I series against Bangladesh and the final match would be played on Monday.
