Davies, 22, was the first Australian debutant in three years to take three or more wickets on T20I debut. It was also the first time that spinners had taken nine wickets for Australia in a T20I innings, and the first such occurrence in Bangladesh.

Davies had Parvez Hossain Emon and Abdul Gaffar Saqlain caught in the deep after beating them with flight and a bit of turn. “I think coming over here, I thought it might be spinning a little bit more than it actually did, but to still get enough out of the wicket,” Davies said. “It has been a childhood dream to play for Australia in any format. So to get that done today was a massive achievement for me.

“I think here in Bangladesh the grounds are a fair bit smaller than in Australia, so if there were any parts of the ground that were slightly bigger, I had to use that to my advantage. With the wind going against the big boundary, it was Mitch’s idea to make me hit them to that big boundary and I think I got two wickets from that, so it was a nice plan by him.”

Davies said bowling with legspinner Adam Zampa, who was Player of the Match for taking 3 for 18, was a memorable experience. “It was pretty surreal. I think I’ve grown up just watching him play on TV, and now to be a teammate with him was something I never thought I’d experience. But I think he’s so smart on the field and off the field.

“He’s smart on the field and he would pick my brain to make sure that I had the right approach to how I wanted to get them out and how I wanted to build some pressure. So it was really nice having him by my side.”

Bangladesh’s new fast bowling coach Talha Jubair said the home side had fallen into a “spin trap” in the first T20I. “I think they set the trap and we fell right into it. They were hoping for us to mis-hit some of the big shots. We were too dependent on boundaries. I think the batters will agree with me that we should have looked at building the innings. We could have built some small partnerships. We lost back-to-back wickets, so some partnerships could have changed the scenario.

“We threw our wickets rather than take stock of the situation in the middle. A 40-run partnership would have helped us. We ended up playing one less over too. Our tail batted well with Mahedi, who struck three fours in an over. Another genuine batter with him would have made their life difficult.”

He said Bangladesh had not dealt with Renshaw’s part-time offspin effectively. Renshaw picked up two wickets, to go with his five in the ODI series. His 26 overs are the most he has bowled on a tour.

“I think he is not much of an effective bowler, but still we are giving him wickets. I hope our batters can overcome this in the next match,” Jubair said.

Bangladesh ended up scoring only 131 in 19 overs, a target Australia chased down with four wickets and ten balls to spare to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series.
