Pune – Australia’s batting explosion gave a bad signal to the opponents before the semi-final match. All-rounder Mitchell Marsh (177 not out off 132 balls) scored a brilliant century to give Australia an 8-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the final group match. The Aussies easily won the match by beating Bangladesh’s target of 307 runs with 32 balls to spare.
This is the seventh consecutive win for the former champions in this World Cup. The Aussies will face South Africa in the semi-finals on Thursday. Score: Bangladesh 306 for 8 in 50 overs. Australia 307 for 2 in 44.4 overs.
While the Australian batsmen turned the last match into a warm-up for the semi-finals, Bangladesh did not have any hope in bowling at any stage. Yesterday, Marsh hit 17 fours and 9 sixes, reviving the memory of Glenn Maxwell’s brilliant double century once morest Afghanistan. After the dismissal of Travis Head (10) in the third over, David Warner (53) and Marsh combined at the crease and scored 120 runs for the second wicket. After Warner’s dismissal, Marsh put on a 175-run partnership with Steve Smith (63) to seal victory. This is also the highest target that the Aussie team will chase and conquer in the World Cup.
Earlier, Bangladesh, who batted first, produced the best performance in the World Cup in the last match. They were led by Najmul Shanto in place of injured Shakib Al Hasan who returned home. With Tauheed Hridoi (74), Tansid Hasan (36), Litan Das (36), Najmul Shanto (45) and Mahmadullah (32) in form along with Tauheed Hridoi (74), Bangladesh crossed the 300 mark for the first time in the tournament. Bangladesh, who are eighth in the points table with 2 wins, need to lose once morest India in the Netherlands today if they want to play in the 2025 Champions Trophy.
