In February 2012 he made his international breakthrough as a T20I player against India in Sydney.Following this T20I series, Wade was appointed to Australia's One Day International team for the 2011-12 Commonwealth Bank Series. He won the Man of the Match Award on debut and scored 67 runs with 69 balls against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. During the series, he cemented his spot as Australia's first choice limited overs-wicket keeper and normally opened the eyelash.Wade was part of the Australian team for the 2011-12 West Indies tour as a limited overs wicketkeeper. However, after Test wicket keeper Brad Haddin returned home before the test matches because his daughter was sick, Wade was selected to replace him. He made his Test debut on April 7th against the West Indies near Barbados, and made his first Test century (106) in the third Test at Roseau. Wade was then elected for Australia's next Test series against South Africa in November 2012, ahead of Haddin, and held his spot until the end of the 2012–13 season, which included a home series against Sri Lanka and a tour of India. He made his second Test century in the Third Test against Sri Lanka in Sydney.

Australia knows how to win the World Cup

Elusive T20 World Cup trophy finally won by Australia in the Seventh edition of it. Australia's wicket keeper Matthew wade is thrilled after winning the title.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/matthew-wade-held-his-nerve-was-outstanding-says-aaron-finch-and-babar-azam-explains-about-their-amazing-journey-which-end-here-15_11_2021.jpg"> 


Before the Seventh edition of the Twenty/20 World Cup, no one had chosen Australia as their favorite. Most cricket analysts did not want to rely on him for his contemporary performances and bitter past experiences in the Twnety/20 World Cup. 


But after going to the World Cup, Aussies changed completely. Matthew Wade himself changed. This wicket-keeper-batsman was completely dull with the bat in Bangladesh. However, when he came to the World Cup, he was transformed by some strange magic Shaheen Shah Afridi hit Three sixes in a row in one over to take the team to the final. At the end of the match he scored 41 runs from 17 balls unbeaten. 

Australia's top media 'The Australian' called the Bangladesh tour before the World Cup a 'waste of time'. Winning the Twenty/20 World Cup for the first time for the country was the answer to all the contempt and neglect. 

 <blockquote>"It's definitely a big deal. We won the T20 World Cup for the first time Before the World Cup, many did not keep believe in us. But we knew exactly how to win the World Cup." -Matthew Wade 

</blockquote>He also spoke about that impeccable innings in the Semifinals "It's definitely special. However, my partnership with Stoinis was more important than my innings. We never imagined we would have scored so many runs on the wicket. " 

 Matthew Wade said that they were ready to do something like that even in the final.&nbsp; However, for the extraordinary batting of Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell, Wade did not get a chance to do so again.The experienced cricketer set foot in the UAE after losing Five consecutive Twenty/20 series. They came to Bangladesh. They lost the series just before the start of the World Cup and lost shamefully. Matthew Wade led that team. After losing the series 4-1 to the hosts, captain Wade said there was nothing positive to be gained from the series.

Wade, Stoinis' heroics take Australia to the finals

Australia have reached the final after 11 years by defeating Pakistan by five wickets in the semi-finals of the seventh edition of the ICC T20 World Cup. With this incredible and dramatic victory, The Aussies reached the final of the T20 World Cup for the second time. Aaron Finch's side will face New Zealand in the final on November 14, who have reached the final for the first time.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/aus-vs-pak-11_11_2021.jpg">After losing the toss in Dubai, Pakistan lost 4 wickets in 20 overs and scored 176 runs. Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman scored half centuries for the team.Rizwan made 6 runs off 52 balls. Fakhar remained unbeaten on 55 off 32 balls. Both of them hit three fours and four sixes. Besides, captain Babar Azam scored 39 off 34 balls, thanks to which Pakistan got 71 runs in their opening partnership.David Warner gave Australia the desired start by playing to win. In the first over, captain Aaron Finch returned to the dressing room, but Warner continued to make quick runs. Marsh, who was playing well, scored 28 off 22 balls and all the responsibility fell on Warner's shoulders.However, after the departure of Steve Smith, Warner had to return to the dressing room due to an incorrect decision of the umpire. Warner was given out caught behind even though he did not nick it, but Warner also surprisingly didn't go for the review. Before that he made 49 runs off 30 balls, hitting four fours and sixes. When Glenn Maxwell was caught,&nbsp;Australia was struggling at 96/5, Pakistan took control of the match. Shadab Khan took 4 wickets whil giving away merely 26.&nbsp;However, Marcus Stoinis and Matthew Wade snatched the victory from the hands of Pakistan.&nbsp;Stoinis, who made 41 off 31 balls with two sixes, brought Australia back into the hunt. But it was Wade who applied the finishing touches, scoring 41 of 17 deliveries to clutch the match for Australia. He smashed 3 consecutive sixes off Shaheen Shah Afridi in the penultimate over, after surviving a chance as Hassan Ali dropped a catch.&nbsp;Australia chased down 177 with an over to spare, and will be locking horns against New Zealand on the 14th of November to clinch their first T20 World Cup trophy

Australia hold their nerves in a nervy chase against SA

The super 12 of ICC T20 World Cup started off with a nail biter, as Australia barely managed to chase down 119 against South Africa. The Aussies won this low scoring encounter by 5 wickets in the final over, giving them a winning start in the tournament.&nbsp;<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/image_2021-10-23_202035-23_10_2021.png" style="width: 609px; height: 486px;">South Africa did not look comfortable with the bat after losing the toss. The Proteas were 3 down with only 23 on board. Josh Hazlewood gave Australia the perfect start with the ball, picking up 2 wickets.&nbsp;The middle order also couldn't put much of a fight against the dangerous bowling attack of Australia. One batter fell after another, as South Africa kept on sinking. Aiden Markram was the only one showing resilience. His knock of 40 from 36 helped Proteas to put on a total of 118/9 in 20 overs. Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins also picked up 2 wickets, alongside Hazlewood.&nbsp;Australia were also off to a poor start, as they lost both their openers Aaron Finch and David Warner quickly to pace duo Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada. Mitchell Marsh also perished after a while to Keshav Maharaj and the Aussies were struggling at 38/3 before the end of 8th over.&nbsp;The responsibility to take Australia over the line was entrusted upon Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell. The duo was batting along nicely with minimal risks. Their stand made it look like that the Aussies will chase down the total without much bother.&nbsp;However, Nortje and Tabraiz Shamsi removed both Smith and Maxwell in consecutive overs and the match was back in balance. The moment South Africa looked to be on top, Mathew Wade hit 2 quick boundaries to release some pressure.&nbsp;In the end, Australia won the tug of war, as&nbsp;Marcus Stoinis and Wade held their nerves to take Australia home by 5 wickets in the final over. South Africa's bowler gave a good fight, but their batting failure was the prime reason for their loss.&nbsp;

Australia's learnings from Bangladesh series ahead of T20 World Cup

Australia
were heavily dominated by Bangladesh in their recent five-match T20I series where the home
side won the series convincingly with a margin of 4-1. Let’s have a deep dive
into both positive and negative performances for the Aussies in this series. 
Positives:
Bowlers 
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/aus-bowling-vs-bd.jpg" style="width: 489px; height: 340px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Australia's learnings from Bangladesh series ahead of T20 World Cup" alt="Australia's learnings from Bangladesh series ahead of T20 World Cup">Australia as
a bowling unit clicked perfectly in the sub-continental conditions. Aussie
pacers and spinners both&nbsp;caused ample problems in the Tigers batting line-up and
restricted them to low totals in each and every game.
Josh
Hazlewood was their pick of the pacers. He was the joint highest wicket taker in
the series despite playing a match less, picking up 8 scalps while averaging 10.62 with an economy rate of
5.42. He used his pace and variations to perfection to confine Bangladesh’s
batsmen, especially the openers. The likes of Soumya Sarkar struggled on a
regular basis against Hazlewood. 
The spin duo
of Adam Zampa and Ashton Agar were impressive as well. Zampa picked up 5
wickets with an economy of 6.25 and Agar picked up 3 wickets with an economy of
5.60. Both the spinners used the pitch conditions to their advantage and pegged
back the Tiger batters repetitively.
The other
bowlers like Mitchell Starc looked lethal in the 2 matches he played, taking 3
wickets. Another bowler look can hold his head high is Nathan Ellis. Ellis, who
debuted in this series picked up 5 wickets with an economy of 6.25, including a
debut hat-trick. He gave himself every opportunity to be called up for the T20 World
Cup squad of Australia.
Overall,
Australia should not be worried about their bowling attack in the T20 World Cup.

Mitchell Marsh
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/mitch marsh.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 434px; height: 277px;" title="Australia's learnings from Bangladesh series ahead of T20 World Cup" alt="Australia's learnings from Bangladesh series ahead of T20 World Cup">With the
entire Aussie batting line-up stuttering around, Mitchell Marsh stood tall against
the dangerous looking Bangladesh bowlers. He was the highest run getter in the
series with 156 runs and averaging 31.2.
Marsh used his footwork well and played
positive cricket against Bangladesh’s spinners. He consistently scored runs and
looked solid whenever he was on the crease.
His impressive performance in this series and
the previous one against West Indies means that he is likely to feature in the
playing XI in the T20 World Cup.
Negatives:
The rest of the batting
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/aus-vs-bd-.jpg" style="width: 455px; height: 331px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Australia's learnings from Bangladesh series ahead of T20 World Cup" alt="Australia's learnings from Bangladesh series ahead of T20 World Cup">While Marsh
fared quite well in the Tigers challenge, it wasn’t the same case for the other
batsmen. The likes of Josh Phillipe, Alex Carey, Matthew Wade and Moises Henriques
never looked comfortable while facing Bangladesh’s bowlers. 
Philippe
scored 19 runs in the first 2 matches and then was dropped. Carey featured in
all the 5 matches but scored only 35 runs. Captain Wade also had a
disappointing outing, scoring 42 runs in the 5 games and
Henriques also struggled for runs, scoring only 40 of them. 
Despite all
of them being top performers in the Big Bash League (BBL), all four of them
looked shaky in Bangladesh and it ended with 62 all-out in the last T20I, their lowest score in the history of T20I format.
However, Justin Langer and co will be relieved
by the return of David Warner, Aaron Finch, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell,&nbsp;Marcus
Stoinis and Pat Cummins in the World Cup. Australian management will pin their hopes on these
star performers to rescue their batting. It will be interesting to see which wicket-keeper
batsman Australia will opt for, as both Wade and Carey had a bad time in the
series.

Certainly the toughest conditions to play: Wade after 4-1 T20I series loss

Australia’s stand-in captain
Matthew Wade has termed Bangladesh’s condition as the toughest condition to
play after their 4-1 loss against the hosts but also says that they have great
learnings from the tour.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/wade-vs-bd.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Certainly the toughest conditions to play: Wade after 4-1 T20I series loss" alt="Certainly the toughest conditions to play: Wade after 4-1 T20I series loss">“It's hard to say there will be
more positives. Certainly a great learning opportunity for our group. I've
played for a few years now, certainly the toughest conditions to play T20
cricket in. Great learning for youngsters. Wasn't our series unfortunately.
There's no excuses of not playing enough cricket. We had enough cricket in the
West Indies to come and play good cricket, we just didn't. Credit to
Bangladesh, they did well,” Wade said.
The wicket-keeper batsman praised
the bowlers who did well throughout the whole series but expressed dissatisfaction
about the batsmen whose latest failure was 62-run all-out in the last T20I of
the series. 
“Our spinners were exceptional.
Mitch Marsh continues to grow on these pitches, he's had to work hard for it.
Our bowling was good, but we just didn't have enough runs on the board. We've
got to find a way to get better in spinning conditions. We didn't bowl the best
today we have whole tour, but if we can drag the score back by 10-15 runs with
the ball and get another 10-15 with the bat… we're not losing by big margins,”
he added.
However, he credited the
Bangladesh team for better performance. “These were very challenging
conditions, but (not doing well) is certainly on us not on them. Well done to
the Bangladesh team,” he concluded.

Australia never thought '128' would be easy chase

Despite the bowlers are doing
well for the Aussies in the Bangladesh tour, continuous failure from the
batsmen have made the life hard for the visitors. Even they lost the series for
the first time in history against Bangladesh failing to chase the target of
just 128 runs. They scored 117 runs only in 20 overs losing 4 wickets.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/aus-misery-in-bd-series.jpg" title="Australia never thought '128' would be easy chase" alt="Australia never thought '128' would be easy chase">After failing to show any good
performance with the bat in the first two matches, Australia never considered
the 128-run chase as an easy target. Captain Matthew Wade revealed the matter
at the end of the match on August 6.
“Bowlers have been really good,
kept us in most of the games. 120-130. We just didn't take the opportunities
with the bat which was disappointing. (Easy chase) Wasn't really the feeling in
the box,” Wade said.
<blockquote>“We know their closing overs are
really hard. Some of their bowlers won't give more than four-five runs an over.
If the required rate gets up to 6-7 it's challenging and 8 is very difficult.”</blockquote>
After losing the series against
Bangladesh, Australia have now a real concern ahead of the T20 World Cup. “It
can turn around really quickly and that's how we'll look at the rest of the
series. T20 World Cup coming up so every match is gold,” Wade added.
The positive news for the
Australia was fast bowler Nathan Ellis set a new record by scoring a hat-trick
in his debut. “Yeah it's a funny game cricket. He could have gone none for 34,
last three balls he's gone 3 for 34,” Wade further said.

Tigers look to extend lead against mighty Aussies

It’s back-to-back T20I between
Bangladesh and Australia today (August 4) where Bangladesh will look to extend
their lead in the series and Australia will try to tackle Bangladesh spinners
to equal the series. The second of five-match T20I series is some hours away to
take place at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/bd-vs-aus-2021--.jpg" title="Tigers look to extend lead against mighty Aussies" alt="Tigers look to extend lead against mighty Aussies">However, at the end of the first
match, Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah Riyad expressed disappointment about
their batting and said that they were 10 runs short. 
In the first match, the Tigers,
being asked to bat, had a sedate start to their innings. Last series' best
player Soumya Sarkar fell awkwardly to Josh Hazlewood for 2. Naim Sheikh, on
the other hand, struck boundaries but his scoring rate of 30 off 29 was on the
lower side. 
Shakib Al Hasan top scored with
33-ball 36, with skipper Mahmudullah Riyad adding 20. But it was Afif Hossain's
crucial 23-run innings that helped Bangladesh to a put on a total of 131 runs to
challenge on a difficult pitch. 
The ball was lowered in the slow
wicket of Mirpur from time to time. The spinners got a good turn. However, if
the openers batted responsibly from the beginning, Bangladesh could have scored
some more runs. The lack of regular strike-rotation was noticeable. 
Although the condition was
unfamiliar to the inexperienced Australian team, Bangladesh cricketers should
be well acquainted with the behavior of the wicket in Mirpur. So there is
nothing wrong with expecting batsmen to look more fluent. At the end of the
day, when the captain spoke of less than ten runs, it means that there was more
room to do well in batting.
On the other hand, Australia are missing
some of big names in their line-up. But it’s in batting, not in bowling.
Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa, Ashton Agar all are in
Australia’s bowling section. But there is much inexperience in batting, which
also showed in the first match. 
Stand-in captain Matthew Wade
also vows for brave and smart batting against the Bangladeshi spinners. All-rounder
Mitchell Marsh is seeking advice from their main two spinners- Adam Zampa and
Ashton Agar. So if they find answer to the spinners, it will be a cracking game
between the two sides without any doubt.
In the second T20I match,
Bangladesh are more likely to play with an unchanged XI. While it would not be
a surprise to see pace bowling all-rounder Dan Christian in the Aussie XI. If
this happens, Ashton Turner will have to sacrifice his place for Christian. 
Probable XI:
Bangladesh: Soumya Sarkar, Naim Sheikh,
Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah Riyad (c), Nurul Hasan (wk), Afif Hossain, Shamim
Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman.&nbsp; 
Australia:&nbsp;Josh Philippe,
Alex Carey (wk), Mitchell Marsh, Moises Henriques, Matthew Wade (c), Dan
Christian, Ashton Agar, Mitchell Starc, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood.

Very disappointing: Wade after another dismal performance

In the second match of the series
too, Australia surrendered helplessly in front of the Bangladeshi bowlers. But
today, not only spinners, but also two Bangladeshi fast bowlers- Mustafizur
Rahman and Shoriful Islam bowler superbly. At the end of the match, Matthew
Wade also praised the Bangladeshi bowlers.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/philippe-out.jpg" title="Very disappointing: Wade after another dismal perfromance" alt="Very disappointing: Wade after another dismal perfromance">Australia lost wickets at regular
intervals from the very beginning of the second match. Though Mitchell Marsh
and Moises Henriques made a good partnership in the middle, they lost their
path at the end and managed to score just 121 runs 20 overs losing 7 wickets.
"We were in a good position
today with the ball, but unfortunately we struggled the bat in the last four
overs. Very disappointing. We were in a good position to get 130s-140s, a good
score on this track,” Wade said.
Although dissatisfied with the
performance of his team's batsmen, Wade expressed satisfaction with the
bowlers. Wade also said that Bangladesh also bowled well.
“Their quicks took pace off well,
and we'll look to do better there. The bowlers from both teams have been
terrific, we are happy how they are going. Agar was terrific again. Our bowling
is definitely not the problem. We've had a game where the top wasn't great, and
this time our bottom half with the bat wasn't,” the Australian captain added.
Bangladesh won the match by 5
wickets and took 2-0 lead in the five-match T20I series with the win. The third
match is scheduled to take place on August 6.

We're going to have to be brave: Wade

Australia T20I captain Matthew
Wade wants brave but smart performance from the batsmen especially against the
Bangladesh spinners in the second T20I which is scheduled to take place on
August 4.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/aus-vs-bd-.jpg" title="We're going to have to be brave: Wade" alt="We're going to have to be brave: Wade">In the first match of the
five-match T20I series, Australia had no answers in front of the Bangladeshi
bowling attack. They were all out for only 108 runs. Still, Wade doesn't see
anything new. He wants to continue the series according to his previous plan.
"We're going to have to be
brave and stick to our plans," Wade told cricket.com.au. "There's not
enough time to reinvent the wheel.
<blockquote>"You're going to have to be
brave to play the way you want to play. But there's a difference between being
brave and being smart when you're chasing lower totals. Guys haven't played
over here all that much. The 10 or 15 balls they might get in the middle is
vital and valuable going forward. </blockquote>
"You can't go into your shell in T20 cricket, you can't
go into your shell in five match series. You're going to face the same bowlers
tomorrow and over and over again – you've got to find a way to just to work it
out."

Australia finding proper solution to tackle Shakib

Before the start of the series
against Australia, Bangladesh coach Russell Domingo said that Shakib Al Hasan
is in great form with the ball and he’s looking forward to see his performance.
Australia are also making special plans to tackle the one of the finest
all-rounder in world cricket.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/shakib-bowling.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Australia finding proper solution to tackle Shakib" alt="Australia finding proper solution to tackle Shakib">In the short version of T20, only
a few balls or an over can turn the match around. And to bring the match under
control, Shakib is much experienced. This all-rounder has the ability to turn
around the match with both bat and ball. So Australia are preparing their left-arm
batsmen to handle Shakib's bowling.
"That will certainly be
looked at," Wade told cricket.com.au on Monday. "With Agar back it
gives us the opportunity to have a few more lefties in the line-up.
<blockquote>"We've got myself and (Alex)
Carey here as well – 'Starcy' (tailender Mitchell Starc) is there as well.</blockquote><blockquote>
"We saw using left-handers,
especially with the left-arm orthodox spinners, worked well (against the Windies)
… I think it could be used when needed for sure.
</blockquote><blockquote>"We used it in the last
one-dayer, we used it in New Zealand (in T20s earlier this year) a bit with
Agar going up (the order).
</blockquote><blockquote>"That's not to say the
right-handers can't play spinners, it's just that statistically and match-up
wise it works a bit better at times. I'm sure we'll use that throughout the
series."
</blockquote>Shakib played a big role in
defeating Australia in the Test in 2017. Wade still hasn't forgotten that. He
remembered that memory even before the start of the T20I series. 
"We're certainly aware of
what he can do," Wade said. "He was pretty impressive in the Test match
here in 2017. He's a tricky customer … he can turn the ball around and hit the
shiny side and try to get you lbw, or turn the seam over and try to get your
outside edge.
"Depending on what the
wickets do we'll have to work out what we do with him. He's certainly a vital
part of their team.
"He's also pretty impressive
with the bat – he strikes at a high average. He'll be a key wicket when he
bats."

Meredith ruled out of Bangladesh T20Is

Another cricketer has been added to the list of unavailable players of Australian team as pacer Riley Meredith is ruled out of the Bangladesh series due to injury.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/riley-meredith.jpg" title="Meredith ruled out of Bangladesh T20Is" alt="Meredith ruled out of Bangladesh T20Is">Cricket Australia (CA) confirmed on Monday that Meredith had to go sit sideline throughout the whole series with a side strain. Fast bowler Nathan Ellis, who is with the team as a reserve player, has therefore been added to the main squad and could also make his debut in the series.
Ellis, 26, took 20 wickets in 14 matches in the last season’s Big Bash League (BBL) and earned the selectors attention with the performance. His bowling is quite effective, especially in death overs.
Australia will also miss their regular skipper Aaron Finch and veteran batsman Steve Smith in the series due to injuries. In Finch’s absence, Matthew Wade will lead the team. Regular players like Pat Cummins, David Warner, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Jhye Richardson and Kane Richardson did not come to Bangladesh due to personal reasons.
The five-match T20I series starts on tomorrow (August 3). All the matches will be played on Sher-e-Bangla International Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.
Australia squad: Ashton Agar, Wes Agar, Jason Behrendorff, Alex Carey, Dan Christian, Josh Hazlewood, Moises Henriques, Mitchell Marsh, Ben McDermott, Riley Meredith, Josh Philippe, Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Swepson, Ashton Turner, Andrew Tye, Matthew Wade (c), Adam Zampa. 
Travelling reserves: Nathan Ellis, Tanveer Sangha.
