ICC World Cup AUS vs BAN Highlights: Australia steamroll Bangladesh by 48 runs

Bangladesh were never in the chase to be honest

Australia bat Bangladesh into submission

Once the Aussies put up 381 on the board, it was easy to conclude that the Bangla Tigers would not win. They had been pummelled by England similarly, and they replicated that performance here. Put up a fight, lasted for 50 overs but that is the only consolation they have.

The chase started poorly, with Soumya Sarkar run out after a horrible mix up with Tamim, but then the latter joined hands with Shakib to put on a 50-run partnership. Stoinis snared Shakib before he could do much damage and Tamim fell soon after to Starc. Liton Das was taken out by Adam Zampa which was when Mahmudullah joined Mushfiqur Rahim at the crease. The duo counter-attacked well, putting on more than 100 runs together and the former helped himself to a fifty too.

They were only delaying the inevitable though, as Rahim brought up a fighting hundred in the penultimate over. He played well all day, getting everything off the middle but the target was just too far to even attempt. Australia go top of the table with this win while Bangladesh are most likely heading home.

It was a lot of fun to get you the updates. Do join us tomorrow again when England take on Sri Lanka. Till then, goodnight!
