In the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, Australia finds themselves locking horns with Bangladesh at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune. The Aussies, fueled by a remarkable comeback win against Afghanistan, are riding high on confidence, especially after Glenn Maxwell’s spectacular double-century that snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
Despite facing a challenging situation with seven wickets down for less than 100 runs in their previous encounter, Pat Cummins’ team showcased unwavering self-confidence, securing a three-wicket win. With a spot in the semifinals already secured, Australia aims to further solidify their position with a convincing win in the ongoing match.
In the absence of Shakib al Hasan, who suffered an injury in the last game against Sri Lanka, Najmul Hossain Shanto takes charge as captain for Bangladesh. Despite Bangladesh’s recent three-wicket triumph over Sri Lanka, they find themselves out of the semifinal race, having secured only two victories in eight matches. However, Shanto and his team are determined to leave a positive mark on the tournament, showcasing their skills in the face of Australia’s formidable challenge.
The match details for this crucial encounter are as follows:
- Bangladesh (Playing XI): Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto(c), Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman
