It's an extremely difficult place to try and bat: Dan Christian on batting in Bangladesh

Australia have had a pretty tough time in the T20I format in the recent past and they have now lost the five-match series against Bangladesh away from home to add to their misery. 

The Aussie side finally won an encounter in Bangladesh on Saturday after suffering three back to back defeats in the first three matches in the series.

Daniel Christian who played a vital role in Australia’s win in the fourth match of the series, has said that the conditions in the Asian nation are “extremely difficult”. 

"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,” he said. 

Christian scored 39 off 15 that included five sixes in an over off Shakib Al Hasan and a boundary in the penultimate game of the series in Dhaka. Chasing a modest total of 105, the visitors began the proceedings in a disappointing manner as Mathew Wade departed early. 

But Christian and Ben McDermott steadied the ship for the side and chipped in with a stand of 44 runs for the second wicket. McDermott was then undone for 5 off 12 and his dismissal saw wickets falling at regular intervals for Australia. 

They were reduced to 65/6 when Ashton Agar joined hands with Ashton Turner and the two put up a 34-run stand for the seventh wicket. Agar was eventually sent back in the hut for 27 but Australia went over the line by 3 wickets in 19 overs. 

The two sides will now play the final T20I on Monday in Dhaka.
