Statistical highlights : Australia vs Bangladesh
September 16, 2007

Following are the statistical highlights of the Super Eight cricket match between Australia and Bangladesh in the Twenty20 World Championship in Cape Town on Sunday.

- Australian speedster Brett Lee became the first ever bowler to accomplish a hat-trick in Twenty20 Internationals when he dismissed Bangladesh's three batsmen - Shakib Al Hasan, Mashrafe Mortaza and Alok Kapali - off successive deliveries.

- Having already performed the hat-trick in One Day Internationals, Lee is now the only bowler to achieve the distinction in ODIs as well as in Twenty20 Internationals.

- Australia's  nine-wicket triumph is their fifth in 8 matches.

- Australia's nine-wicket victory is their biggest in Twenty20 Internationals, bettering their eight-wicket win over England at Cape Town on 14.9.2007.

- Bangladesh's 123 for 8 wickets is their lowest ever Twenty20 total, surpassing their 139 for 5 against Kenya at Nairobi on 1.9.2007.

- Bangladesh have now won 3 and lost 3 out of the six Twenty20 matches they have played.

- Matthew Hayden (73 not out) posted his highest ever score, his second fifty in succession. His previous best was 67 not out against England at Cape Town on 14.9.2007.

- Hayden's batting average of 56.66 is now the best by an Australian in Twenty20 Internationals - 170 in five innings.

- The 104-run partnership between Gilchrist and Hayden is Australia's best for the first wicket, eclipsing the 78 by the same pair against England at Cape Town on 14.9.2007.

- Nathan Bracken, with 2 for 14, took his tally of wickets to 10 at 12.80 runs apiece in six matches. He is the first Australian bowler to claim 10 wickets in Twenty20 Internationals.

- Lee's bowling figures of 3 for 27 are his best in Twenty20 Internationals, eclipsing his 1 for 26 against New Zealand at Auckland on 17.2.2005.

- Stuart Clark (4-0-13-1) conceded only 13 runs in his four-over spell. Only the following four bowlers have conceded 13 or less in a four-over spell in Twenty20 Internationals:
