5:05pm That will be all from us. A comfortable win for Australia to seal the series 3-0. We hope you enjoyed our coverage, and we will be back with more cricket soon. Until then, from Ranjith, myself (Shashwat) and everyone else at ESPNcricinfo, it is goodbye!
Matt Renshaw, Player of the Series: (On how he is feeling) Really nice. Nice to win 3-0 and nice to contribute (with bat and ball). We started well, boys in the powerplay did well and our boys at the top, putting the chase to bed. We kept taking wickets, and put their top order under pressure. Fortunately, for us, it was a good chase. (On playing in Bangladesh and how it feels) Bit different, last time I was here in 2017, it was 1-1. 1-1 again this time (across formats). Nice to play here, should be a good Test series in a couple of months too.
Mitchell Marsh, the Australia captain is also the Player of the Match: Nice to leave this series 3-0. Really proud of the boys, great effort. (On the pitch) thought we executed well. Not sure how I got POTM - Spencer bowled four overs for six runs (smiles). Thought we were fantastic with the ball today. Had some guys debuting, some coming back after a long time and contributing really well - great team to be around.
Towhid Hridoy, Bangladesh captain: (What went wrong) At the beginning, we lost a couple of wickets and if you lose wickets, it becomes difficult to score. I tried my best and to execute my plan. Not that hard, wicket was good, we did not play well. We needed partnerships, if we got partnerships, we could have got to 170-180.
4:44pm A commanding and clinical win, and that does not even begin to explain it. Australia did not have many to chase, but they showed brilliant intent at the top, with Marsh leading the way. David then walked in to apply the finishing touches, and they will be happy with how ruthless they were.
A day to forget for Bangladesh. They only had pride to play for but were completely outmuscled - with the bat and with the ball. Plenty to ponder for them as they go back to the drawing board, and they will have to find a way to be much better, especially against tough oppositon and in tricky conditions.
David walks in. Australia only need 10 more runs
CPL Connolly c Saif Hassan b Rishad Hossain 15 (24m 13b 2x4 0x6) SR: 115.38
Time for a drinks break, but that will only delay the inevitable. This contest seems a foregone conclusion now, and Australia re on the verge of a series sweep. Rishad back on
He also said bowling alongside Zampa and Ellis in the series helped him

Australia named an unchanged side as they look to whitewash the T20 series
Taskin Ahmed could replace the off-colour Rishad Hossain for the final game of the series, while Australia might be tempted to give Josh Philippe and Matt Kuhnemann a game
