Australia vs Bangladesh Live Score Updates: AUS vs BAN, Mitchell Marsh and David Warner in middle for Australia. Travis Head departs.
A Shakib less Bangladesh managed a score of 306 runs in their 50 overs. Tohid Hridoy was the pick of the Bangladeshi batters, scoring his first world cup half-century during this encounter.
Bangladesh batters, however, will look at this total and see that they missed out on another 15-20 runs at least. A lot of Bangladeshi batters got a start but could not capitalize on it. Batters like Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan put up a solid opening stand but got out a score of 36 each instead of taking the innings forward and getting over the 50 or 100 mark.
Moreover, a few of the middle order batters like skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and veteran batter Towhid Hridoy were run out on calls that could have been completely avoided.
However, with the over 300 run total on the board, both the teams should be equally happy with Aussies backing themselves to chase it down while the Tigers aiming to exploit the weaknesses in this Aussie batting lineup.
Australia and Bangladesh have had drastically different World Cup campaigns so far, with the Bangladesh Tigers losing all their matches after their opening encounter against Afghanistan, apart from a win in their last outing against Sri Lanka.
The Aussies, on the other hand, have won six games in a row after their opening two defeats to India and South Africa. The Kangaroos have found a hero at every stage of the tournament, from the batting prowess of David Warner, Travis Head, Steve Smith and Mitchell Marsh to the bowling wizardry of Adam Zampa and the Aussie quickies.
Australia’s top-order batsman Steve Smith missed the last match against Afghanistan due to a viral infection and the Kangaroos will be keen to get the experienced batsman back into the side as they prepare for the crucial clashes. Australia, who have already qualified for the semi-finals, are likely to face South Africa in the big game.
In their last outing before the semi-finals, Pat Cummins and Co will be looking to keep the momentum going into the knockout stages of the tournament.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, would have been encouraged by a much-needed win over rivals Sri Lanka in their last outing. However, the loss of captain Shakib al Hasan to injury could add to the Men in Green’s woes.

Australia: David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis(w), Marcus Stoinis, Sean Abbott, Pat Cummins(c), Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

Litton Kumer Das 20 (25)
Australia vs Bangladesh Live: BAN at 39/0 after 7.3 overs

Litton Kumer Das 12 (21)
Australia vs Bangladesh Live: BAN at 29/0 after 6.3 overs

Litton Kumer Das 8 (18)
Australia vs Bangladesh Live: BAN at 20/0 after 5.0 overs
