BAN v AUS:<\/strong> Captain Matthew Wade has said Australia needs to be brave as they look to bounce back after their first-ever Twenty20 defeat to Bangladesh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Spinner Nasum Ahmed was the star for the hosts in their 23-run win as Australia failed to chase a relatively small T20 target in the first of five matches in the series in Dhaka on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Australia failed to get any batting momentum against the spin-dominated Bangladesh attack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"We're going to have to be brave and stick to our plans," Wade told the website cricket.com.au.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"There's not enough time to reinvent the wheel. But there's a difference between being brave and being smart when you're chasing lower totals," added Wade, who was appointed captain for this series with Aaron Finch out injured."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"You can't go into your shell in T20 cricket ... 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."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Australia lost three wickets with just 11 runs on the board chasing 132, and Mitchell Marsh said the early stumble cost them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Anywhere you play around the world ... statistics show that it's always difficult to win games from that position," said Marsh, who had tried to resurrect the Australian innings with a run-a-ball 45. Obviously, we all want to get better at playing spin. I think in these conditions, it was tough."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Bangladesh hero Nasum, playing only his fifth T20 international, said building pressure through repeated dot balls was key to their success.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Our target was to check the run and bowl dot. We tried that and got wickets," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The second T20 will be played on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

All five matches are being played behind closed doors at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.
