Mehidy Hasan 28 (18)

Nasum Ahmed 7 (10)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: A good comeback over for Sean Abbott, giving away just 2 runs and managing to keep Ahmed on strike for most of the over. Bangladeshi will have to significantly lower their expectations now with just Mehidy Hasan getting the bulk of their runs.

Mehidy Hasan 24 (16)

Nasum Ahmed 2 (7)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Hridoydeparts while trying to hit a full toss out of the ground only to hit it straight into the hands of Marnus Labuschagne who has had an excellent day in the field. The onus is now on Mehidy to take charge of scoring rate and get his team to a good enough total on this surface.

Mehidy Hasan 22 (15)

Nasum Ahmed 1 (1)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Superb display of bowling from Adam Zampa, just giving 3 runs in the 45th over of the innings. Zampa gave a total of 32 runs in the match while picking up 2 crucial wickets. 

Bangladesh will still aim to score above 10 an over in the next 5 overs and get to an above 320 run total.

Tohid Hridoy 69 (76)

Mehidy Hasan Miraz 12 (9)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: 10 runs from 7th over, the Australian captain hasn\’t looked threatening at all in this game, giving away plenty of runs. With 6 overs still left, Bangladesh look set to get over a 310 run total if the incumbent batters continue the way they are going.

BAN at 267/5 after 44.0 overs

Tohid Hridoy 66 (73)

Mehidy Hasan Miraz 10 (5) 

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Soon after getting into his rhythm against Sean Abbott, Mushfiqur departs while trying to pull a short ball form Adam Zampa, only to hand it directly to Cummins. Zampa becomes the highest wicket taker in the tournament and the highest wicket taker in any one edition of world cup for Australia.

Towhid Hridoy 60 (67)

Mushfiqur Rahim 21 (24)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: 11 runs from Abbot\’s 7th over, Bangladeshi batting have shown no sign of slowing down despite a slew of wickets in recently. With 10 overs left in the bank still, the Tigers will aim for atleast a 320+ total with a well set Hridoy still on the crease and an experienced Mushfiqur Rahim there to assist him.

Towhid Hridoy 57 (64)

Mushfiqur Rahim 13 (14)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: First ever world cup half-century for Towhid Hridoy and 6th one overall. A wonderfully crafted innings from the young lad. Hridoy paced his innings really well from being aggressive at the start of the innings to playing the anchor role now. Hridoy could even go on to get a hundred if plays the game at the right tempo from here on out.

Towhid Hridoy 50 (61)

Mushfiqur Rahim 4 (7)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: BAN in self-destruct mode, another wicket and another run out for the Tigers. Callous and unnecessary running from Hridoy who forces Mahmudullah for a single. 

A good platform was set with Mahmudullah looking good on a score of 32 and dealing in sixes but the run out has put the pressure back on Bangladesh.

Hridoy 45 (52)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Just 3 runs from Hazlewood\’s 5th over. Since the wicket of Shanto, Hridoy has changed gears and taken on more of an anchor role for the innings while Mahmudullah has been dealing in sixes at the MCA stadium in Pune. 

A good platform for Bangladesh to set up a huge total and put the pressure on Aussie batters later on.

Towhid Hridoy 44 (49)

Mahmudullah 26 (21)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: A good opportunity for Hridoy to stand up in this Bangladeshi lineup. One after the other Bangladeshi batters have made a start but haven\’t been able to convert them to a big score.

Towhid Hridoy 41 (43)

Mahmudullah 15 (12)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Mahmudullah hits Sean Abbott for a six off on the leg side, short delivery from Abbott and gets the treatment. The counterattack from Bangladesh continues, not giving Aussies any chance to slow the scoring rate. 

Hridoy 38 (39)

Mahmuddah 8 (6)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Unecessary running from Shanto and Hridoy and exceptional fielding from Marnus Labuschagne lead to the Bangladeshi skipper losing his wicket.

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: 5 runs from Zampa\’s 6th over, the wrist spinner has been the pick of Aussie bowlers so far giving way runs at an economy of 3.33 while also taking a crucial wicket of Litton Kumer Das.

BAN 168/1 after 27 overs

Najmul Hossain Shanto 44 (55)

Tohid Hridoy 36 (29)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: The counterattack from Towhid and Shanto has helped Bangladesh crodss the 150 run mark in under 25 overs. These two batters have been maintaining the pressure on Aussie bowling while scoring freely.

Najmul Hossain Shanto 38 (45)

Tohid Hridoy 23 (22)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: After a few quiet overs for Bangladesh, Hridoy finally takes the attack to Zampa as he hits him for a six on the leg side. The counterattacking instict from Bangladesh has been the highlight of this innings from the Men in Green. 

Najmul Hossain Shanto 24 (35)

Tohid Hridoy 13 (13)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Another Bangladeshi batter departs after having a good start to the innings. Litton departs on a score  of 36, unable to convert his innings into a big score. 

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Another bowling change for Australia, as Travis Head comes into the attack. Bangladeshi are going at over a 6 run per over rate and managed to go past the 100 run mark in under 16 overs. 

The intent from Bangladesh has been something to look out for in this game.

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: The wicket of Tanzid has not affected the scoring rate much with skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto keeping the momentum going. 

Shanto 14 (14)

Litton Das 35 (43)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Just two overs for Marsh as Australia\’s most successful bowler this world cup – Adam Zampa comes into the attack. Zampa gives just one run in his first over, keeping a tight line and troubling in the Bangladeshi batters.

Najmul Hossain Shanto 7 (7)

Litton Kumer Das 31 (38)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Another day and another Bangladeshi batter could not capitalize on a good start. Tanzid departs on 36 while defending a short ball from Sean Abbott. 

A good start from Tanzid goes to waste as he could not get to a fifty or a hundred.

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Expensive over from Marsh as he gets no help from the surface whatsover. Tanzid hits him for two back to back boundaries, first straight down the ground and another one on the off side.

Tanzid hasan 36 (33)

Litton Kumer Das 29 (34)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: 8 runs from Abbott\’s second over, Bangladeshi batters are in no mood to let the ballers dominate the proceedings as they try to hit atleast one boundary in each over. 

Tanzid hasan 28 (30)

Litton Kumer Das 24 (31)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: 50 up for Bangladesh in just under 9 overs; Bangladesh are now going over 6 runs an over. 

Another bowling change from Australia as Mitchell Marsh replaces Josh Hazlewood. Similar to Abbott, BAN batters welcome Marsh with a boundary as Tanzid charges down the wicket and hits the all-rounder for a boundary over mid-on.

Tanzid hasan 24 (25)

Litton Kumer Das 20 (25)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: First bowling change for Australia as Sean Abbott takes skipper Pat Cummins\’ place. Bowling change does not bring much dividends for Australia with Litton Das hitting Abbott for a comfortable boundary on the off side.

Tanzid hasan 20 (24)

Litton Kumer Das 12 (21)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: An expensive over from Cummins, giving away 8 runs from the over. More importantly, Cummins gave the Bangladeshi batters the opportunity to open their bats for two boundaries. 

The pressure will be on the Men in Green to convert this start into a big total for their side.

Tanzid Hasan 14 (18)

Litton Kumer Das 8 (18)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: 4 runs from Hazlewood\’s third over as Litton Kumer Das hits his first boundary of the match. A short ball from Hazlewood and Das picks it up nicely for a boundary on the leg side.

Tanzid hasan 5 (13)

Litton Kumer Das 8 (17)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: A quiet yet stable start for Bangladesh so far, going with thier record in the tournament so far, the Aussie bowlers don\’t look threatening enough to take early wickets. Meanwhile, Bangladeshi batters haven\’t gotten away with the game as well, no boundaries with the bat so far for BAN.

Tanzid Hasan 5 (13)

Litton Kumer Das 3 (9)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Tough first over to start with for skipper Pat Cummins, giving away 10 run. Cummins got a bit of help from the help with many of his deliveries going at a good pace and bouncing enough but the Aussie captain could not make full use of the surface and was instead a little loose with his line.

Tanzid hasan 3 (10)

Litton Kumer Das 1 (2)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Maiden over to start with for Josh Hazlewood who keeps the pressure mounting on Tanzid Hasan and as always doesn\’t give anything to the batter. Fifth maiden over for Josh Hazlewood in the tournament so far.

Tanzid hasan 0 (6)

Litton Kumer Das 0 (0)

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Australia won the toss and decided to bowl first at the Maharashtra Cricket Association stadium in Pune. Shanton said he would have wanted to bat first at well so no harm done. 

Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Starc miss out for Australia.

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Just around 1 hour is left for live action begins at the Maharashtra Cricket Association stadium in Pune. Babar Azam and Najmul Hossain Shanto will make their way to the middle of the ground at 10:00 am for toss while the match starts from 10:30 am onwards.

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Speaking at the ‘Club Prairie Fire podcast, Maxwell said, “The energy that they had in the first 15-20 overs was extraordinary and we have seen that a lot from them,\” he said.

“I have played (against) a lot of sub continental teams and one thing I have always found that if you could take the sting out of the game, not by runs but by basically being there, you play one or two shots in every couple of overs and you can see how flat it starts to get.\” The right handed batter added

Maxwell further said, “They start to sort of a bit of bickering, a bit of infighting, finger-pointing, arms-raising, fielders not paying attention, it sort of starts to unravel a bit and I have been in teams where I have seen that happen as well,\”

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Australia coach Andrew McDonald while speaking about Steve Smith\’s Vertigo issues said (as quoted by Sportskeeda), \”(Smith) was battling with his balance on certain shots. He went through some running between the wickets as well, which probably aggravated it a little bit more, then he went upstairs for some treatment. It was clear that he wasn’t right for the game. Having a fully fit player to come in and perform was an easy decision.\”

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Speaking at the pre-match presser Vettori said, \”Yeah, it was obviously a very difficult start through injuries and illness to be able to actually play (Zampa). Probably the first three games was a bit of a – well it was an amazing effort because I think he was pretty close to pulling out against Pakistan. Fitness test right up to just before the toss.

“So, to see him get through that, has been the starting point. But I think his control of his length has been the best that I\’ve seen in this period of time, particularly through those three games where he took four wickets in a row and then against England.\” The Aussie bowling coach added.

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Pat Cummins (C), Adam Zampa, Litton Das (VC), Mushfiqur Rahim (WK), Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman.

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: As per Google’s win probability, there is an 87% chance that Australia will beat Bangladesh in this match. We believe Australia will secure a thumping victory and finish the group stage by moving up to the 2nd position.

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: According to details, there is hardly any chance of rain on Saturday in Pune, but the humidity may rover between 50% in the day and around 70% at night. Also, the temperature will be around 21-33 degrees Celcius.

Australia vs Bangladesh Live:

 Australia: David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell/Steve Smith, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

Bangladesh: Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nasum Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Taskin Ahmed

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Australia bowling coach, Daniel Vettori while speaking at the pre-match press conference said, \”I think you have to give Glenn (Maxwell) most of that credit. I think he\’s a very willing bowler and I think sometimes that can be the hardest part of being an all-rounder, that even though you do have the skills, the desires, not always there. And Max, he loves bowling. And he loves the strategy that goes into it, probably like with his batting.\”

\”So, I think you see a bowler that\’s evolved over the last few years. And I think he\’s been able to, in particular, start to bowl over the wicket to right-handers, which sort of went out of fashion for a period of time, and I think it\’s his ability to almost get near topspin, challenge the stumps the whole time from round and over the wicket,\” Vettori added.

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Australia: David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc

Bangladesh: Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan Miraz

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha while speaking about the Angelo Mathews ‘timed out’ dismissal in the last game said, \”I don\’t think it\’s going to stop here, if whatever I say. Only thing I can say here is it\’s one of the mode of dismissal. It was addition, recent addition into the condition of play. I think it\’s the sixth edition or the fifth edition of playing condition. And my only thing is to keep all this, I don\’t know whether this is going to stop, but I think my suggestion is, it have to leave it to the umpires to decide, because if you read the law, it says timed out. I don\’t think it\’s leave it to the players to appeal and all that. Then everybody has a different opinion on both sides. So that\’s all I can comment at the moment.\”

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: “Speaking at the pre-matcu press conference, Aussie bowling coch Danel Vettori said, \”I think it\’ll be how he feels – I don\’t think it\’ll be a fitness test scenario. We understand that obviously now that the semi-final is pretty definitive in Kolkata on the 16th, that it will be a build towards that. I think he does have a track record of being able to bounce back pretty quickly, even with some time away from the game. So, I think, like I said, it will depend on how the day goes and then make a decision. Being a day game as well, probably means tonight they\’ll make the call,\”

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Batters often find Pune\’s surface to their liking. Fast bowlers can exploit some early seam and swing, but they need to be accurate. The toss winners tend to choose to bowl first.

Eleven ODIs have been played so far at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune so far. Six of those matches were won by teams batting first. On November 8, the England-Netherlands match went in favour of the defending champions, who won by 160 runs.

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Australia and Bangladesh have played 21 ODIs so far. Australia have won 19 of those. One of those matches did not produce any results. When they faced off in June 2019 during the World Cup, Australia put up 381/5 in 50 overs. Bangladesh fought well and scored a heroic 333/8 in their 50.

In World Cups, these two teams have played against each other 4 times. While one of them did not produce any results, Australia won the remaining 3.

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Australia bowling coach Daniel Vettori said, \”He\’s definitely been in full recovery mode the last few days. I think we all saw the effects of the innings and in particular the heat. So, I think today\’s a big day, see how he pulls up. But obviously, we\’ve had a couple of days off so there\’s been no training. He\’s not here today but we\’ll just see how he sort of feels as the day continues on but it\’s obviously been pretty hectic for him the last few days,\”
