Dhaka, April 13: Michael Hussey hit an impressive hundred and Shane Watson made a quickfire half-century as Australia posted 361-8 in the third and final one-day international against Bangladesh here today.
Hussey cracked two sixes and nine fours in a 91-ball 108 for his third one-day hundred, and his first since February 2007, while opener Watson smashed three sixes and 11 fours in his 40-ball 72.
Middle-order batsman Hussey was involved in two useful stands, adding 89 for the fourth wicket with skipper Michael Clarke (47) and 70 for the sixth wicket with Mitchell Johnson, who hammered 41 off just 24 balls.
Hussey fell in the last over, trapped lbw by seamer Shafiul Islam, but not before boosting his team’s chances of sweeping the series. Australia already hold an unbeatable 2-0 lead.
