Keke Palmer isn't interested in the internet's "mom-shaming."
The actress, singer and television host is speaking up about the pressures parents face online, where everything from car seats to kids' diets can bring unwanted criticism, without accounting for the lack of resources or varying challenges some families may face.
As flu and cold season approaches, she spoke with USA TODAY about her partnership with Beyfortus (nirsevimab), a preventive non-vaccine antibody shot for respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, and how she takes preventative measures to protect the health of her 3-year-old son, Leo.
Respiratory syncytial virus is a common and easily spread virus that peaks during colder months. While most cases are mild, severity is unpredictable. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2% to 3% of infants under 6 months are hospitalized with RSV every year.
Palmer also opened up about motherhood, modeling healthy habits for her son and why she believes parents should have these open conversations without judging one another's choices.

Elon Musk's mother, Maye Musk, railed against the media for not being "proud" of her son's accomplishments, and leveled a conspiracy theory that all media outlets must lie about him or they'll lose their "funding."
Maye Musk appeared on the Pod Force One podcast on Monday, where host Lydia Moynihan asked, "How is it for you as a mother now to see your son who…was so celebrated, now become so controversial?"
"Well, you know, in my book, I do say 20 years ago, the media all hated Teslas," Musk said. "'It's going to fail, it's going to fail, it's going to fail.' And for five years, they hated Tesla. And then they realized that people are buying the Teslas. So then they started hating Elon and hating him on — and that's when I started going on Twitter and shaming the media, as well as the person doing the —"
"You would find the journalist!" Moynihan exclaimed.
"I would find the journalist and find their tag, and so that I could tag them and say, 'Shame on you!' And that's what I did. It gave me a lot of comfort. It didn't stop them," Musk said.

NEW DELHI: Mohammed Shami may be in the latter phase of his career, but the veteran pacer believes young Indian cricketers are arriving with a level of maturity that means they need less coaching and more timely guidance.
Shami, who has not played for India since March 2025 and last featured in a Test during the World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval in 2023, spoke about mentoring youngsters after helping East Zone win the Duleep Trophy final against South Zone.
Among those who caught his attention was Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the teenage batter who was part of the East Zone squad.
"I thoroughly enjoyed it. The kid in our team (Vaibhav Sooryavanshi) is literally as old as my career. He has that youthful innocence, loves to joke around, and absorbs things quickly," Shami said.
The 36-year-old believes the exposure young players receive today, particularly through the IPL and other high-pressure competitions, has accelerated their development.
"But most of these youngsters are already quite mature. With the level of cricket they play today—featuring in the IPL and other high-pressure tournaments—maturity comes early, so you don't need to over-coach them," he said.
"But yes, when the game gets tight and challenging, that's when you step in with tactical inputs and remind them to keep fighting," he added.
Shami's own motivation, meanwhile, remains undiminished despite his prolonged absence from India colours.
"There are plenty of reasons to stay motivated if you look for them. At this level, if you aren't self-motivated, your approach is wrong. No matter what stage you're playing at, your eyes must always be set on the next level," he said.
Shami took two important wickets, dismissing Ravichandran Smaran and Sheikh Rasheed, as East Zone secured the Duleep Trophy ******* le on the basis of a first-innings lead. The triumph also coincided with his 100th first-class appearance.
"As far as satisfaction goes, achieving this in my 100th match—and that too in a winning Duleep Trophy final—is special. East Zone has won this after a very long time. You've seen how we performed.
"Every single boy put his heart and soul into this campaign to get us here. To achieve this in these conditions, in this heat, is outstanding. As for me, whether it's your first match or your 100th, it doesn't matter—the effort and the approach remain exactly the same," he said.
Shami also stressed that the level of cricket does not change his approach.
"When you wear that crest on your chest, the level of cricket doesn't matter. If you play for the badge, that hunger will naturally show. Your willingness to fight only grows when you play with that pride.
"My mindset is simple: whichever level I get an opportunity to play, I want to make it count and fulfil my responsibility toward the team," he said.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi may have been among the early contributors for East Zone in the Duleep Trophy final, but it was captain Ishan Kishan who eventually stole the show with a breathtaking double century against South Zone at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Sooryavanshi opened the innings for East Zone and made a brisk 44 off 37 deliveries. During the match, former India cricketer and commentator Vivek Razdan used Kishan's remarkable innings to offer some advice to the teenage batter.
"Sooryavanshi sahab, now you have to learn from players like Ishan Kishan. Once you are set, you have to learn how to play a long innings," Razdan said on commentary.
The message came as Kishan continued to pile on the runs and turn the final into a one-sided contest.
Resuming on 385/4, East Zone's batters showed little sign of slowing down. South Zone turned to the new ball in search of wickets, but Mohammad Siraj and MD Nidheesh struggled to make an impact.
Kishan immediately put pressure on the bowlers, collecting consecutive boundaries against Siraj before taking on Nidheesh. ***** ar Kushagra also joined the ***** ault as South Zone rotated between pace and spin.
Kushagra eventually completed his sixth first-class century, scoring 101 from 132 ***** with eight fours and five sixes. His dismissal shortly before lunch finally gave South Zone a breakthrough.
Kishan, meanwhile, remained in complete control.
The East Zone captain repeatedly found gaps in the field and punished anything loose. Even when South Zone introduced part-timers Devdutt Padikkal and Shaikh Rasheed, the flow of runs did not stop.
Kishan brought up his double century from 270 ***** and continued attacking thereafter. He raced beyond 250 before fatigue briefly forced him to retire from the field.
East Zone continued marching towards a massive total, eventually crossing 600 and then 700. When Mohammed Shami was dismissed for a quick 28, Kishan returned to the crease with the possibility of reaching an extraordinary triple century.
Kishan's pursuit of 300 ultimately came to an end when he was caught near the long-on boundary. The left-hander departed for a monumental 270 from 334 ***** , having smashed 30 fours and seven sixes.
His innings was the eighth-highest individual score in Duleep Trophy history and formed the backbone of East Zone's mammoth 708 all out.
Razdan had earlier highlighted not just the quality of Kishan's batting but also the physical demands of staying at the crease for such an extended period.
"Every person who is present here at this time stood up and applauded this innings. Because this is not just technique, this is not just temperament, this is also match fitness. To stay out there for so long in such heat and play an innings like this. What an innings by Ishan Kishan."
Kishan's marathon effort, alongside Kushagra's century, ensured East Zone posted more than 700 for only the third time in first-class cricket history at Chepauk.

Chennai: Veteran India speedster Mohammed Shami maybe out of India reckoning for now, but he still refuses to give up. When East Zone play South Zone in the Duleep final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here on Sunday, the 36-year-old will be appearing in his 100th First-Class match, with a prolific record of 382 wickets so far.
East Zone skipper Ishan Kishan was effusive in his praise of the senior bowler on the eve of the **** le clash, stressing that age remains irrelevant when backed by exceptional work ethic and fierce determination.
"For Shami, age is just a number. If he is working hard, it doesn't matter. Having someone like him in our team gives us immense confidence. His approach towards the game, his intensity, and his energy this season have been very different from how I've seen him in the past," Kishan said after a practice session.
Comparing this version of Shami to his sensational 24-wicket run at the 2023 ODI World Cup, Kishan stressed on the pacer's sheer appetite for a national comeback.
"It is 2026 now, three years since that World Cup. It is hard when you are not regularly playing for the Indian team to still summon that same motivation for domestic games...Who better than me can judge hunger right now? I see that hunger and drive in him, he wants to make that comeback and be part of the Indian squad again. You can see it in the way he helps me lead, constantly coming up with strategic options. You can instantly tell when a player is desperate to win you the match," the skipper added.
Kishan also hailed Shami's tireless attitude during East Zone's semifinal victory over Central Zone, where the veteran ran in and picked five wickets in the game.
"He is a legend of the game. Looking at his effort in the semifinal, as a captain, it felt incredible when Shami came up and asked for extra overs to break partnerships. That willingness gives a skipper immense confidence. Plus, he finished with two boundaries in the last game, so he's practically an allrounder nowadays," Kishan quipped.
South Zone captain Tilak Varma acknowledged the massive challenge awaiting his batting unit against Shami's probing spells with the red ball, but they are confident to face him.
"It will be great competition. We are up against a quality bowling attack led by Shami. Facing that calibre of bowling is why you love this sport," Tilak said.

NEW DELHI: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's much-anticipated Duleep Trophy campaign got off to a disappointing start on Sunday as the teenage batting sensation was dismissed for just eight against North East Zone at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 2 in Bengaluru.
Opening the innings for East Zone alongside Abhimanyu Easwaran, Sooryavanshi began brightly, smashing back-to-back boundaries before his brief stay at the crease came to an abrupt end.
The 15-year-old attempted to continue his aggressive approach but edged Bishworjit Konthoujam's delivery to Joseph Lalthankhuma at gully. The North East pacer had the last laugh with the final delivery of his first over, leaving Sooryavanshi walking back after just six ***** .
WATCH:
North East Zone won the toss and opted to bowl first, giving Sooryavanshi an opportunity to make an impact in a format in which he is yet to establish himself.
The teenager was named East Zone's vice-captain, with Ishan Kishan leading the side, and entered the quarterfinal with considerable attention on him following his exploits in T20 cricket.
However, his first-class numbers remain modest. Sooryavanshi has played eight first-class matches for Bihar and has batted in 12 innings, scoring at an average of just over 17 with a highest score of 93.
133437321
The Duleep Trophy represented a significant opportunity for the youngster to gain valuable experience in red-ball cricket, particularly against a North East Zone side featuring an inexperienced attack.
East Zone boast considerable experience elsewhere in their lineup, with skipper Kishan joined by India pacer Mohammed Shami, Abhimanyu Easwaran, ***** ar Kushagra, Shahbaz Ahmed and Mukesh ***** ar.
Sooryavanshi's inclusion and appointment as vice-captain had nevertheless made him one of the biggest talking points surrounding the quarterfinal.
East Zone will face either Central Zone or South Zone in the semifinal at the same venue from August 30 if they progress.

Kate Beckinsale has wiped her Instagram feed clean after a difficult stretch online. The actress returned to Stories with a pointed response to the commentary surrounding her appearance. Her message went beyond one rude remark. Beckinsale explained why the speculation has become especially painful and signaled that her future on the platform may look very different.
People reported on Aug. 8 that Beckinsale deleted all posts from her Instagram grid before sharing a series of Stories highlighting body-shaming comments she had received. She responded to one particularly harsh message by writing, "I think people might be broken."
The actress also addressed the speculation surrounding her weight loss. Beckinsale said grief has taken a physical toll after the death of her mother, Judy Loe, in 2025 and her stepfather, Roy Battersby, in 2024. She said losing several family members in a short period had affected her body and pushed back against strangers making ****** umptions about her health.
Beckinsale also discussed mast cell activation syndrome, or MCAS, saying she was diagnosed 16 years ago. She explained that the condition can affect her stomach and that flare-ups can bring severe acid reflux. Cleveland Clinic describes MCAS as a rare condition involving repeated episodes caused by overactive mast cells.
The Underworld star said she initially hoped speaking publicly about MCAS could help raise awareness. But after receiving more criticism about her voice and appearance, she expressed regret over making the video.

Underworld actress Kate Beckinsale is speaking up about body-shaming comments after she wipes her Instagram clean of posts.
The 53-year-old took to her Instagram Stories on Saturday, Aug. 8 to highlight all the negative hate she has received about her body in the last year. The comments accuse the actress of overusing Ozempic, being anorexic, and not being as attractive as she used to be.
Beckinsale responded to the comments, writing: "You take a break from Instagram for several months following the death of your mother, delete all of your posts and explain in some considerable detail about what you may have lost weight, including the fact that weight loss is one of the very first physical signs of bereavement… I think people might be broken."
The Aviator actress' mother, Judy Loe, died in July 2025 after a cancer diagnosis, just 18 months after she lost her stepfather Roy Battersby in January 2024.
Beckinsale has also been candid about her health, recently posting a now-deleted 13-part video discussing her diagnosis of mast cell disease and mast cell activation syndrome. According to Healthline, the condition occurs when the mast cells in your body release too much of a substance that causes allergy-like symptoms.

The Serendipity star, 53, shared dozens of posts on her Instagram Stories on Saturday, Aug. 8, highlighting negative comments she's received about her body after the 2025 death of her mother, Judy Loe, and three years after revealing she had mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS).

Former India opener Aakash Chopra believes Bhuvneshwar ******* ar's lack of regular 50-over and first-class cricket could prove to be a major hurdle if he is to force his way into India's plans for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
While praising the veteran seamer's performances in the IPL, Chopra said preparing for a 50-over World Cup requires sustained workload management, something that cannot be achieved by playing only T20 cricket.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Chopra was asked about the World Cup prospects of both Bhuvneshwar ******* ar and Mohammad Shami.
"One thing goes against Bhuvi. I love him to bits, and I want him to play for India again, but when you don't play Ranji, your workload becomes limited. There are a handful of matches in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. In ODI cricket, you have to bowl 10 overs and field for 50 overs in a match. It's a lot of workload."
Bhuvneshwar has not featured in a first-class match since January 2024 and last played a List A game in December 2023. Despite that, he has enjoyed an impressive run with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, playing a key role in their back-to-back IPL ******* le-winning campaigns.
Chopra stressed that excelling in the IPL alone should not be the basis for selection in a 50-over World Cup.
"It's not easy in a tournament like the World Cup where you have to keep playing continuously. Not only the World Cup, but you will have to be a part of every ODI game from a year earlier. You will have to start playing him from now on."
According to Chopra, if the selectors are serious about including Bhuvneshwar in their long-term plans, they need to bring him back into the ODI setup immediately.
"He is not a bad option, but it will be a mistake unless we give him at least one year to get ready. If you pick someone for the 50-over World Cup based on him bowling four overs in the two months of the IPL and a month of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, no matter how good that person is, it will be wrong."
He also suggested that Bhuvneshwar should feature in the upcoming ODI series and even the T20I ******* ignments if he remains under consideration for the 2027 World Cup.
Comparing Bhuvneshwar with Mohammad Shami, Chopra felt the latter currently has a stronger case because he has continued playing red-ball cricket, including the Ranji Trophy, where he claimed 37 wickets. Shami is also set to feature in the upcoming Duleep Trophy.
However, Chopra maintained that Bhuvneshwar had the better IPL season.
"It's the same thing for Shami, although he has played the Ranji Trophy and picked up 37 wickets. He is going to play the Duleep Trophy now as well. So Shami has a slightly better case to make, but the truth is that if we do man-to-man marking in the IPL, Bhuvneshwar ******* ar is ahead of him in that respect."
Chopra believes the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand could provide a clear indication of India's plans.
"My understanding is that the selectors, captain, and coach

Chennai: As India look to usher in a new generation of fast bowlers, Australian great Glenn McGrath believes Prasidh Krishna has all the ingredients to become Jasprit ****** rah's long-term pace partner.
The legendary fast bowler, who is the director of coaching at the MRF Pace Foundation, has closely followed Prasidh's rise and feels the tall Karnataka seamer has transformed his potential into performances.
"I'm a big fan of Prasidh," McGrath said. "If he gets his length right, he's got everything going for him."
"He has really matured. He's tall, bowls in good areas, generates bounce and has genuine pace. Occasionally he's a little short, but apart from that, I think he's the whole package. He's really developed and put his potential into performance," he said.
India have handed opportunities to several young quicks during the recent tours of the UK and Zimbabwe as they prepare for a demanding cycle of white-ball cricket, with the ODI and T20 World Cups to be played in South Africa and Australia-New Zealand respectively. It means India will need a strong pace attack firing on all cylinders, and McGrath believes the transition phase they are going through will not be easy.
"You've got ****** rah, who's a class bowler, and Mohammed Shami, who's world-class as well. Mohammed Siraj has been around for a long time too. You can't just expect to pick up straight where you left off. It's always going to be a transitional period," he said, referring to the Australian team, which will also go through a similar phase.
"Other than Pat ****** mins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc, hardly anybody gets a chance... So it's not going to be easy for Australia either."
McGrath also pointed out that ****** rah's unconventional action demands careful workload management.
"The way he powers through those last few steps probably puts more stress on his body than most bowlers. It'll be interesting to see how he manages himself," McGrath said.
While India appear keen to fast-track younger bowlers, McGrath insisted experienced pacers still have an important role to play.
"It's always good to have experience there. Young bowlers learn by playing alongside senior guys. I was fortunate to watch Craig McDermott and Merv Hughes. That's where you really learn. I'd always pick an experienced team over a potential team," he said.
On whether veterans such as Shami or Bhuvneshwar ****** ar could still mount a comeback, McGrath said the decision rested on their bodies, motivation and the selectors.
"If they're prepared to put the work in and their body allows it, then why not? As fast bowlers get older, the work only gets tougher. Ultimately, it's up to them and the selectors."
McGrath also called for a rethink in the way fast bowlers are rehabilitated after injuries, arguing that modern systems often "wrap bowlers in cotton wool" instead of making them physically stronger.

Meghan McCain has a blunt message for people criticizing her changing appearance: She is getting older, raising three children, and has no intention of apologizing for either. The former co-host of "The View" addressed the cruel comments after a recent podcast clip attracted viewers who seemingly focused more on her looks than the political topic she was discussing. Although Meghan McCain said she normally has thick skin, she admitted that the sudden wave of body-shaming commentary caught her off guard.
Rod Lamkey – CNP / MEGA
McCain discussed the criticism during Wednesday's episode of her "Citizen McCain" podcast. "I am normally an Armadillo-skinned person, and there's been a lot of commentary about how 'old and ugly' I am now," she said.
Rather than attempting to convince critics that her appearance had not changed, the 41-year-old television personality openly acknowledged that it had. "I'm 41 years old … I'm going to age. I'm going to get older. I am fatter because I've had three kids," McCain continued, who shares Liberty, 5, Clover, 3, and 6-month-old Ransom with her husband, Ben Domenech.
McCain also noted that audiences are no longer seeing her with the polished appearance she maintained while working on network television. "I look different because I don't have professional hair and makeup every day," she explained.

The fight game is an unforgiving one.
Per MMA Junkie on Thursday, PFL DC will no longer feature Thad Jean(10-0) vs. ShamilMusaev (18-1-1) in the main attraction. For currentlyundisclosed reasons, Musaev has been forced to withdraw from hiswelterweight championship affair headlining the card at theCareFirst Arena in the U.S. Capitol. In the Russian's stead will beErnestoRodriguez (11-1), who first postedof his change in opponent and vastly elevated stakes on Wednesdaynight—he was expecting to battle AaronMcKenzie—and then fully confirmedthe news shortly after its announcement. Jean did as well shortlythereafter on his InstagramStories.
This is one of numerous cancelations on fight week and earlier, asathletes MagomedUmalatov, JackCartwright, DenisGoltsov, BrunoCappelozza and MandoGutierrez were all booked for this fight card at one time. Dueto a number of largely undeclared reasons—Cappelozza encounteredissues with his visa—all of those combatants and their scheduledpairings have either been canceled or switched around on this cardor to another. For instance, Cappelozza vs. hasbeen **** ped to PFL Charlotte in August. The current PFL DC lineup sees eightmatches remaining, although the promotion has not indicated if anylate-notice fights will be slotted on the billing.
Jean was vying to become the first U.S.-born PFL champion atop thisevent—not including those that won tournaments—and he will stillreceive that honor. "Silverback" comes into this five-rounder withample momentum on his side as the winner of the final PFL tourneyin 2025. There, he knocked out MukhamedBerkhamov, outworked JasonJackson and outperformed LoganStorley in the span of four months to claim a $500,000 checkand chance for PFL gold.
"Starboy" Rodriguez seizes this opportunity having won his PFLdebut in March. Against MasayukiKikuiri, he snagged a majority decision despite dropping whatmany observers felt was a 10-8 third round, completing a bout inwhich all three Sherdog official scorers turned in 28-28 drawtallies. The fighter born in Cuba worked his way up the Tuff-N-Uffladder from 2022 to 2025, culminating in six wins with the LasVegas-based league to reach a major organization.

Female rugby players are 69% more likely to experience social media abuse than their male counterparts, according to findings by World Rugby.
Misogyny, gender identity, ******* uality and body-shaming are the most common types of abuse.

Bangladesh have named Towhid Hridoy as captain for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe after regular skipper Litton ****** ar Das was granted leave to participate in the Lanka Premier League (LPL). The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced a 15-member squad on Wednesday, with all-rounder Mosaddek Hossain earning a recall following his impressive recent form.
Litton, along with fast bowler Taskin Ahmed, will miss the T20I series to honour their LPL commitments. The three matches are scheduled to be played at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on July 15, 17 and 19.
Mosaddek returns to the T20I setup after producing a series of strong performances in the recent ODI series against Australia, where he amassed 157 runs in three matches, strengthening his case for a comeback in the shortest format.
The selectors have also recalled Yasir Ali, who is set for his first T20I appearance in nearly three years after last representing Bangladesh during the Asian Games in October 2023. Pace-bowling all-rounder Mohammad Saifuddin also returns after missing the home white-ball series against Australia, while Shamim Hossain has been rested following a string of low scores.
Towhid Hridoy (captain), Parvez Hossain Emon, Tanzid Hasan, Mohammed Saif Hassan, Mosaddek Hossain Saikat, Yasir Ali Chowdhury, Nurul Hasan Sohan, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Rishad Hossain, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Nahid Rana, Mohammad Saifuddin and Abdul Gaffar Saqlain.
Bangladesh's white-ball tour of Zimbabwe begins on July 6, following an eventful one-off Test in Harare. The visitors will first contest a three-match ODI series at the Harare Sports Club before travelling to Bulawayo for a three-match T20I series, with the tour concluding on July 19.

Ahead of the third and final ODI against Afghanistan in Chennai, India ******* istant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said Nitish ******* ar Reddy is emerging as the "natural successor" to Hardik Pandya as the team continues to build its all-rounder options for the future.
India have already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. In recent years, the team has added several all-rounders to its pool, with Washington Sundar, Manav Suthar, Harsh Dubey providing spin-bowling all-round options.
Among the pace-bowling all-rounders, Nitish has made a strong case for himself and is being seen as a long-term option behind Hardik.
Speaking about the team's all-rounder depth, ten Doeschate said most of the available options are still bowling all-rounders.
"And when Hardik plays, he obviously brings a different element because he is such a strong batter, such a strong finisher. A sort of role scarcity is difficult to find a finisher who gives you overs as well," he said.
"So those guys are all tracking really nicely. Like I said with Nitish, for the last 18 months, he's shown glimpses of how important he can be to this team, particularly in this format. And I feel his body's getting stronger and stronger, and I sort of feel he is the natural successor or backup to Hardik," he added.
The ******* istant coach also said it was encouraging to see several all-rounders contributing with both bat and ball, especially with an eye on the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa.
"Even someone like Gurnoor (Brar) and Harsh (Dubey), they are all bowling all-rounders. But the fact that we feel we've got guys who can hold the bat at number nine, obviously looking forward for the next 14, 15 months, that is going to be very important. Especially in South Africa, when you want to play three proper out-and-out seamers, those guys are going to need to bat. A lot of good signs on the all-rounder front and also on the fast-bowling front," he said.
Ten Doeschate also expressed satisfaction with the emerging pace-bowling group that is developing behind senior bowlers Jasprit ******* rah and Mohammed Siraj, both of whom are missing this series.
"It's fantastic. Like I say, one of the big things when this coaching staff started was always going to be the transition of the bowlers, particularly with guys like Shami not playing anymore. This week or a couple of weeks ago when we got together in Chandigarh to see those three young guys coming in fold, it was literally like a Wow moment.
"The way Gurnoor (Brar) has bowled in his first two games, to see a young Indian pacer hit 147, 148, it's like, I'm sure you guys are all excited as we are. Obviously the T20 was a big lead up for the next 15 months and to balance the experience that this team has,” he said.

NEW DELHI: Australia will look to continue their resurgence and seal the three-match T20I series when they take on Bangladesh in the second T20I at the Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium in Chattogram on Friday.
After suffering a 1-2 defeat in the ODI series, Australia bounced back impressively in the shortest format, registering a four-wicket victory in the opening T20I to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
The visitors produced a clinical all-round performance in the series opener, with their spin attack doing the bulk of the damage. Adam Zampa and Joel Davies claimed three wickets each as Bangladesh were bundled out for 131 in 19 overs. India-born all-rounder Nikhil Chaudhary, the first India-born male cricketer to represent Australia in six decades, also chipped in with a wicket.
Bangladesh had started brightly after captain Towhid Hridoy won the toss and opted to bat, reaching 39/1 in the fifth over. However, Australia's spinners turned the game around as the hosts lost seven wickets for just 60 runs, surrendering control of the innings.
In reply, Australia were briefly rocked by the early departures of skipper Mitchell Marsh, returning from an ankle injury, and Josh Inglis. But Cooper Connolly once again emerged as the star performer. Fresh from his match-winning 149 in the final ODI, Connolly smashed 47 off 39 ***** , including four fours and three sixes, to guide Australia to 133/6 in 18.2 overs.
Bangladesh's debutant left-arm pacer Abdul Gaffar impressed with figures of 2/32, including the prized wicket of Connolly, but it was not enough to prevent Australia from taking the lead.
With momentum firmly on their side, Australia will now be aiming to clinch the series with a game to spare, while Bangladesh face a must-win situation to keep the contest alive.

Alexa Demie is comfortable with her "level" of fame, although that may change following the finale of the hit HBO show Euphoria.
In a profile in The Hollywood Reporter, Demie, who plays Maddy Perez on Euphoria, confirms she's seen all of the opinions on her relatively lowkey stardom as sent to her by friends, and she's content with where she is.
"It's like, did you ever think that I don't want it?" she said of her status in Hollywood. "People really take the authority out of your hands. What happened to my ability to choose? I like my life like this, and I wouldn't change it."
Demie also expressed gratitude for her breakout role as Perez, propelling her into a spotlight that is at odds with her more private self. "If I didn't have that experience, I'd be hiding up there like Enya," she explained, gesturing to the Hollywood hills, similar to how singer Enya famously lives in a large, secluded mansion. "But that life is always there for me, and what I'm learning is that I can have both."
In other news, Demie also confirmed she's not retiring from acting. The unverified rumors were taken out of context from an interview she did on The A24 Podcast where she complained to Nathan Fielder that early in her career, the actress was disheartened by being passed over in favor of white actresses.
