One-day international, Mirpur:Australia 270-7 (50 overs) beat Bangladesh 210-5 ( 50 overs) by 60 runs.
Michael Clarke marked his debut as Australia's permanent captain with a century as they beat Bangladesh by 60 runs in a one-day match at Mirpur.
Clarke, who took over as test and 50-over skipper from Ricky ponting after the world cup, hit 101 off 111 balls.
It enabled his side to post a total of 270-7 and they took a firm grip on the game by reducing Bangladesh to 49-3.
Tamim Iqbal (62) and Shakib Al Hasan (51) gave home fans something to cheer but they finished well short on 210-5.
Ponting, now freed from the cares of leadership, made 34 off 31 balls before being run out and Shane Watson (37) and also made useful contributions in support of Clarke, Whose sixth one-day century featured two sixes and six fours.
Bangladesh's hopes of chasing down their target disappeared as I Kayes, S Nafees and R Hasan fell to the seamers, forcing Tamim to rein in his aggressive instincts to try and rebuild the innings.
"We did not play well at the World cup and we want to win every game here," Clarke said afterwards.
