Australia (100/2) defeat Bangladesh (140/8) by 28 runs [DLS method] in the Super 8 game of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024

Why is captain bowling pace? Spinners were strangling (6-0-34-2).

Stupid to bowl pace now.
 
Too easy for Australia. They will definitely try to chase the runs to gain a healthy NRR. Not that they need it.

They have a very powerful team. It will require some 'act of God' for any team to beat them.

I think only England have the team to beat them in this tournament. But, even England got thrashed by Aussies in group stage.

Can't see Australia lose any game, TBH.

This world cup is basically a competition to find out which team will qualify for the finals to lose to Australia. :afridi

Australia was hyped similarly in 2022 as well after they thrashed srilanka. Then they lost their way. These are spin pitches. Adil Rashid , Maharaja, Shamsi can be effective.

Yeah. You can say that.

I think final will probably be England vs Australia (with Aussies winning it).

I think certain surfaces are different than others. St. Lucia for instance seems like a very flat surface and Barbados has something for the bowlers and the batters. Whereas Kingstown and Trinidad seem like more bowling friendly surfaces.

Guyana is a spinner's paradise which is why I reckon India would back themselves to reach the final.

Yeah for some reason he loves playing against India. Played a great knock at the last T20 WC
 
It is raining hard. I think this is it.

Aussies would win by 28 runs (Duckworth) if they don't resume the game.
 
This is a boring wc now. With too many easy matches being played. Semifinals were okay as there were more competitive matches than these one sided ones

Even semi final can become onesided depending on who play, on what ground they play. Teams are not evenly matched. Some dodgy pitches made it look like teams are evenly matched.

Thats what the rest of the world hopes.

And India has Axar, Jadeja and Kuldeep. Would you back India to beat Australia? :unsure:
 
Seeing Australia play, to me they are strogest favourite to win this cup. I find their combination so balanced. There are so many match winners in their playing eleven, more than one captain can ask for
 
To me Rishad is the main reward Bangladesh can go back home with.
Bangladesh needed a leggi so much.

Credit goes to Hatura. In every tenure of him he tries to introduce a new leggie and goes against the traditional Bangladeshi weakness of introducing more lefti spinner.
 
This thread is not about the Indian team. Please stop derailing the thread.
 
Most consecutive wins in T20 WC

8* - Australia (2022-2024)

A hat-trick, a 50 and DLS: Australia beats Bangladesh in eventful rain-affected Super Eight clash

Tournament heavyweights Australia have moved a win closer to the knockout stage, overpowering Bangladesh in a shortened battle in Antigua.

Australia has picked up a crucial Super Eight win to edge closer to the ICC Men's T20 World Cup knockout stage.

Doing battle with Bangladesh in Antigua, both sides were eyeing off a positive start in phase two of the tournament.

The Aussies would have the last laugh, in a match that featured a hat-trick, quickfire 50 and too many rain interruptions.

Wet weather ultimately drew early curtains at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground, but not before Aussie Pat Cummins produced a moment in the field he'll never forget.

Mitchell Starc was the bowler handed the new ball, collecting an early breakthrough by bowling Tanzin Hasan with the third delivery of the innings. In doing so, Starc moved past Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga into outright first for wickets in Men’s World Cups – both ODI and T20Is.

Outside of an early breakthrough, though, Bangladesh enjoyed the better of the early exchanges.

The Aussies kept it tight enough, but the batting combination of Liton Das and captain Najmul Hossain Shanto lifted the Tigers back into a competitive position.

Shanto crunched Josh Hazlewood for a mega six to kickstart the fourth over, while two more boundaries next over had Bangladesh ticking over.

The partnership lasted through to the end of the Powerplay, with the Asian outfit reaching the six-over mark at 39/1.

Shanto took the reins as Bangladesh pushed past 50, before the stand finally ended when Adam Zampa spun one through Das in the ninth over.

The Tigers still had plenty of work to do at the innings midpoint, with Rishad Hossain giving away his wicket on the final ball before drinks – placing Bangladesh at 67/3.

Zampa then produced the next breakthrough, removing Shanto (41 off 36) to end over 13, placing major pressure on the Bangladesh middle order.

Towhid Hridoy tried hard to push the pace, dragging his side’s total into three figures in the 16th over.

Pat Cummins collected two quick scalps to end Australia’s 18th over and then removed Hridoy upon return to start over 20, completing the tournament's first hat-trick. It capped off a strong fightback for Cummins with the ball, finishing with figures of 29/3 off his four overs. He becomes the second Aussie to take a hat-trick in a T20 World Cup match, after Brett Lee pulled one off in 2007 -- also coincidentally against Bangladesh.

Hridoy’s 40 off 28 balls was a handy contribution, though, helping steer the Tigers to a total of 140, for the loss of eight wickets.

Aussie openers David Warner and Travis Head commenced the chase with a ruthless mindset, going after the Bangladesh attack.

The pair raced away, both swifter than a run-a-ball, finding the boundary with ease and reaching the 50 mark to start the sixth over. A Warner maximum concluded Australia’s Powerplay with the side at 60/0.

Play then stopped, as another shower arrived, with the Aussies in control.

Following a minor delay, Bangladesh struck quickly, removing in-form hitter Head (31 off 21). Then Marsh was out quickly, handing the underdogs some much-needed momentum.

But Glenn Maxwell’s arrival instantly flipped the script, turning it on with Warner to push the Aussies past 100, right as another dose of rain arrived.

This shower proved more thorough than the others, with play eventually abandoned.

The Aussies sealed a first-up Super Eight win, finishing 28 runs ahead of par, via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern Method.

Australia and India are now both in prime positions to progress to the knockout stage, while Bangladesh will need wins against both India and Afghanistan to give themselves a genuine chance.

Rain could have spoiled the game but aggressive approach saved the day for Australia. LOL
 
4th consecutive one sided super eight match. Glittering tournament.
 
I don’t understand how the hell can they play a game at midnight local time on a weekday. ICC says it wants to hold a cup to promote cricket in the Americas, but caters to the South Asian base at the same time inconveniencing the local people. Never seen this kind of scheduling in other countries - this ain’t right.

Teams are not evenly matched i agree. Even pakistan ll beat bangladesh. Semifinal has more chance of us having a better encounter even if it turns one sided.These are just pointless matches ban vs aus. We all know what ll happen. Icc needs to reduce these useless matches and make big guns play each other more.
 
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto speaking during the post-match press conference.\:

"The next two matches are important. There is a lot to gain from them. If we can win them, we will be in a better condition. We will play to win every match,"

"Yes, there was big difference in the condition because last match there was a lot of spin and also seam but today the wicket looked flat... a very good wicket to bat and I think we didn't bat well, so I think that is the big difference, probably we should have targeted 160 to 170.

"I think as a player we had to adjust but we couldn't execute with that new ball, especially in the power play and we couldn't finish last five-six overs, so we lost too many wickets, so if it ended well, we could have scored a proper 160 or 170,"

"It is difficult to say why we are not able to play. I think everyone has the capability, people have played well in different places in the past.

"But I do not have an answer to why this is not happening. Everyone has the freedom to play their natural game and they will try to play as they want, but somehow it is not happening."
 
The problem isn't about pointless matches. The problem is there is massive gap between top 3 vs rest in all formats on a sporting pitch.

Only inform/peak Pakistan and legendary Sri Lanka/WI can match top 3 in tournament.
