Rain delayed the toss and start of the third T20 of the five-match series between Bangladesh and Australia Friday.

The toss was scheduled to take place at 5:30pm, but the weather ensured that the pitch at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium was covered and the toss was delayed.

Bangladesh won the first two matches of the series. So, the third match is a chance for the Tigers to seal the series with two matches to spare.
