381/5 (50.0)Bangladesh
333/8 (50.0)Australia beat Bangladesh by 48 runs
VICTORY! Australia beat Bangladesh by 48 runs. Mushfiqur Rahim scored a brilliant century for the Tigers, but in vain Australia are back on top of the points table. 714 runs in the game - the most ever in a World Cup match! Comprehensive win for Australia but Bangladesh fought hard. Had the target been around 350, they might have very well chased it. The Aussies might have ironed out their batting issues but the bowling still needs a lot of working over.
Starc picks up his second with Mehedi chipping a simple catch to Warner for 6.
Bangladesh- 323/7 (48.2)
First to go is Mahmudullah after which Sabbir Rahman is bowled! Hattrick chance for Coulter-Nile but not to be. Sabbir was trying to run it down towards third man. The required run-rate is well over 12 but he still goes for this shot. He ends up getting an inside edge which goes onto hit the stumps. BAN- 302/6 in 45.4 ovs
Mahmudullah whacks Pat Cummins for a huge six! 300 up for Bangladesh 82 runs needed from the last five overs! Possible? BAN- 300/4
Adam Zampa is being targetted by Mahmudullah, SIX! Wrong 'un goes wrong! In the first one Mahmudullah comes down the track and heaves it over the bowler's head for a 95m maximum. Next- Zampa lands it in Mahmudullah's zone, he takes the full toll of it and heaves it over mid-wicket for a 91m six. WOW!
Aaron Finch has introduced Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins in search of a wicket and end Bangladesh's last hope of chasing down the total. BAN - 216/4 in 36 overs

Bangladesh get past the 200-run mark in the 34th over. They still need 181 runs from 96 balls. How close can they get? BAN - 201/4 in 34 overs

Adam Zampa traps Liton Das lbw with a googly. Bangladesh lose their fourth wicket. The run chase gets tougher for Bangladesh. BAN - 175/4 in 29.2 overs
The required run rate is now almost 10 runs per over. This run rate is achievable in T20 cricket but not in ODIs. Bangladesh can work towards decreasing the margin of loss so that it does not affect their net run rate. BAN - 157/3 in 27 overs

Mitchell Starc is the first bowler to take a wicket in 14 consecutive World Cup innings. Previous record: 13, Glenn McGrath (in 2003 & 2007). 95 bowlers have bowled 14 or more times in World Cup history.
That was a nasty bouncer from Mitchell Starc. Liton Das takes his eyes off the ball and it hits him bang on the helmet. Good news is that Das is fit to bat.
Played on! Mitchell Starc strikes! He was brought back for a reason and does the job for his skippa! Tamim Iqbal is gone for a well-made 62. He does not convert his fifty and Bangladesh in deep water here. BAN- 144/3 in 24.1 ovs
Adam Zampa to Mushfiqur Rahim, SIX! Up and over! Finally it arrives. The first six in a run chase of 382. A full toss onto the leg stump, Rahim races down the track and thrashes it to the stands at long on. Easy picking for Rahim and much needed one for Bangladesh.
Tamim Iqbal gets to his half-century in 65 deliveries. He has been rock solid in this innings holding on to one end. Will he achieve three figures today? BAN - 120/2 in 21 overs
Deft touches and reverse sweeps. Mushfiqur Rahim plays spin well and he is showing it by taking on Adam Zampa. Bangladesh need a quickfire knock if they are to get near the mammoth target. BAN - 112/2 in 20 overs
Shakib Al Hasan departs after a run-a-ball 41. This is a big wicket for Australia. Marcus Stoinis bowls a slower delivery and Shakib miscues it to mid off fielder Aaron Finch. The Australian skipper has been brilliant in the field, he won't drop those. BAN - 102/2 in 18.1 overs

Bangladesh off to a decent start after losing Soumya Sarkar early on. Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal are attacking on every opportunity. BAN - 53/1 in 10 overs

It was all going well for Bangladesh but a mix-up between the openers once again proved costly for the team. Aaron Finch runs out Soumya Sarkar with a direct hit. Not a good start for Bangladesh chasing a huge total. BAN - 23/1 in 3.5 overs

David Warner hits 150 in 139 deliveries. He has paced his innings well. Is it too early to say that 200 is on cards for Warner?

The teams who have not been able to take early wickets in the tournament have usually struggled. In Saifuddin's absence, Bangladesh bowling lineup are lacking the edge.
