Australia [381/5] beat Bangladesh [333/8] by 48 runs in 26th match of 2019 World Cup

Almost 10 per over. BD team and the fans should think about their next match at this point. No point of wasting energy in this match where there is inevitable defeat by a big margin.
They have already decided to play for a respectable defeat. It is only some armchair fans who are typing out big and boastful statements as if Bangladesh is going to achieve a target that they have never achieved before.
 
Bangladesh have been positive in this chase , they well will loose but at least they made an effort.
 
Had sarkar didnt have a brainfade and get runout who knows he might’ve got BD off well.

OK. Let's see what sarkar does against us.

P.S. I am Indian fan talking about match against India. (Just clarifying it).
 
Poor from umpire , how can they make such calls when the ball is mostly hitting the outside of the stump.
 
This pitch always has bounce which makes it tough for Asian sides chasing, otherwise 400 is not impossible here.
 
Liton Das is a good stroke maker but has tendency to play risky shots. Why did he go back to that was too full! Why did he try to hard to force it. Could’ve chose a better ball to come hard at. He plays pace well, needed a quick 50 from him!
 
None of the top 3 got big score. You will not chase such big total if that happens. Too many soft dismissals.
 
Out of reach for us. Just too many runs conceded. I think a team you dont wanna chase a big total against in a WC is Australia. Even with a 330 score I think you would've lost to Australia & so would nearly every team. To chase a big total, contribution from lower order is needed 9/10 times but it's just impossible for lower order to score runs against Stark & Cummins. Stark is probably on par with Wasim Akram in finishing off the tail.

BD is good in chasing against other minnows only. It gives the false perception that BD has great batsman who can chase 330+.

Against top teams, you will lose even with 250.

Bangladesh playing really well here , if total was around 325 , they would be well on course.
 
What luxury to have a bowler like Cummins bowling in the middle overs.If Australia had Hazlewood, they would've been the favourites to win WC

I was surprised to see Coulter Nile (Australian Sami) picked up in place of Hazlewood.
 
Cummins will finish his career as a better bowler than Starc. I love Starc but I think Cummins is less predictable and can keep things more tighter. Also is much better in tests from what I have seen.
 
Man the Bangladeshi team is mentally so much stronger than Pakistan. They are in it to win it. If they reach 330 to 340 with this chase then I would seriously consider them as legit contenders to win this world cup. They just have to turn up and do everything perfectly to win the match.
 
Finch bowling out his main guys, if they don't get wickets, he is hoping that in attacking zampa the wickets will come.
Bangladesh has a minuscule chance if they see it these two off at 7 to 8 runs an over.
 
Mahmudullah man get a move on!!! There’s sabbir to come too. Need few 15+ overs
 
Aus bowling can be put in pressure they were tonked by wahab and hasan ali but unfortunately it seems pressure is getting better of bd batsmen
 
Mash should be kicked out of the team.

Have been saying it for ages.

Sadly our selectors can't see what I saw two years earlier.

If I was in BD management I would've kicked out Walsh and mash long ago.
 
Well done Bangladesh. Well done. This is how you fight against the best teams. I am a big fan of this team.
 
Bangladesh are playing well. Their middle order is clicking like crazy in this WC. If only they had conceded about 350 they might have even chased it, but 380 is a step too far.
 
Bangladesh need a Buttler type of innings...

Can Mahmadullah do it?

They have good attitude, just don't lack the talent to chase 350. TBH even England would struggle to chase 350, especially against the likes of Starc and Cummins.

They lost the match because of their bowlers, 380 was always out of reach.
