# Spencer Johnson Sets Australia T20I Economy Record In Bangladesh Whitewash

**Spencer Johnson recorded the most economical four-over spell by an Australian man in T20I cricket as Australia beat Bangladesh by seven wickets in Chattogram to complete a 3-0 series whitewash.**

The left-arm quick finished with 2-6 from his full allocation as Bangladesh were held to 8-109 in the third T20I on Sunday, June 21. Mitchell Marsh then made the chase look brutally simple, hitting 60 from 28 balls as Australia reached 110-3 in just 11 overs.

Cricket.com.au reported that Johnson’s spell was the best four-over economy return by an Australian in men’s T20 internationals, a striking response after he had gone wicketless and conceded 39 from two overs on the same surface 48 hours earlier.

The result mattered beyond the scoreline. Australia’s white-ball tour had already included a difficult ODI series, but this T20 finish showed Marsh’s side adapting quickly to slower Asian conditions.

Bangladesh briefly avoided a deeper collapse through captain Towhid Hridoy’s 61 from 51 balls, yet Johnson, Adam Zampa and Nathan Ellis kept the hosts pinned down. Marsh’s 23-ball fifty then removed any tension from the chase.

Australia’s first clean sweep of a bilateral men’s T20I series in Asia is a timely marker after their recent World Cup disappointment, according to [Cricket Australia’s match report](https://www.cricket.com.au/news/4523073/bangladesh-australia-third-t20-international-t20i-chattogram-toss-result-teams-live-scores-video-highlights).
