ICC World Cup 2023: Australia (307/2) defeat Bangladesh (306/8) by 8 wickets

[sweep_shot]

Not sure why BD batsmen are testing the arm of Australian close in fielders.

I agree. That is a suicidal thing to do.

 

[MMHS]

I feel there is no hunger for BD younger generation to score big - happy with cute 30-40.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Labuschagne probably is not a good fit for ODI. But his fielding saved blushes against NZ.

He is a Test player. Shouldn't play ODI. I agree.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 213/3 (35 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

Another run-out.

Stupid running.

 

[BouncerGuy]

here you go. Anoother run out...

 

[jnaveen1980]

You never ever take on Marnus. He is electric on the field.

 

[BouncerGuy]

BD was testing how quick Aussies are and they lost 2 wickets while doing so. 4 down now for 214

 

[sweep_shot]

You never ever take on Marnus. He is electric on the field.

Yeah. Silly running.

BD are not playing some gully team. This is Australia. Should be more cautious with running.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am not sure what is the point of taking such a single. You would rather risk playing reverse lap shot. Atleast your chances are 50/50.

 

[mominsaigol]

Aussies ftw

 

[jnaveen1980]

BD had Australian part timers at their mercy. They could have just steamrolled them.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 214/4 (36 overs).

How much more can they get?

 

[Marooned]

It looks like a decent score but when none of your batsmen have even scored a 50, you know something is wrong and the runs won't be enough.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Speed of Labu is always something to marvel at. I have seen him Test matches taking some absolute screamers.

 

[dravidthewall]

Bangla will never learn....always be minnow team for next 10 years.Brainfade runout

 

[sweep_shot]

It looks like a decent score but when none of your batsmen have even scored a 50, you know something is wrong and the runs won't be enough.

Aussies should win. Pitch is flat.

300-320 should be chased down easily (not sure if BD will get that much).

 

[jnaveen1980]

They continue doing that lol Another close shave. Seriously ?

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am not taking a shot at the stature. Some of the Bangladesh batsmen are shorter They don't have longer strides. They are obviously not going to be faster and taller than Australian fielders. It is impossible to match their speed and athleticism. Either place the ball between the gap or hit over the top. This running after hitting straight to fielder is brainless

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 222/4 (38.1 overs).

Lost the steam again.

BD - 222/4 (38.1 overs).

Lost the steam again.

Gear problem. Hridoy strike rate is 81. It should be over 95.

 

[BouncerGuy]

These singles and lots and lots of dot balls wont help Bangladesh. They really need to keep going.

 

[sweep_shot]

50 for Towhid.

Good innings.

Towhid is from 2020 U-19 batch (the side that won the U-19 World Cup).

 

[jnaveen1980]

Half tracker from Stoinis lol Rahim is gently patting down to long leg instead of smoking into upper tier.

He is a tiny man. Relies on timing. No power.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yea. He shouldn't be batting at 6. it belongs to finishers. not guys like him. If he doesn't fit anywhere else drop him

 

[sweep_shot]

BD are playing 3 spinners and 2 pacers today.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Choker Mushfiqur Rahim is the most overrated cricketer ever.

Poor from Mahmudullah to get run out like that. You have them under the pump and you don't want to them wickets and let them sneak back in.

 

[sweep_shot]

Top edge.

Catch drop but that was a tough chance.

Went for four.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are going nowhere.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 239/4 (40 overs).

Final 10 overs.

 

[sweep_shot]

They are going nowhere.

Yup.

There is a reason why they are BD and not a top team. Can't normally capitalize on a good start.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Can BD make 111 runs of 60 balls???

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 241/4 (41 overs).

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

BD players playing for themselves,not for the team.

I think they have done okay today considering the opponent is Australia.

BD - 251/4 (42 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

Mushfiq is out.

251/5.

 

[jnaveen1980]

21 overs of head/marsh/stoinis/Abbott - 166/1 runs
21.2 overs from main bowlers - 85/2

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Stupid Mushi knows only one place to be out - Deep midwicket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Game over for pakistan there. England is batting first.

 

[sweep_shot]

21 overs of head/marsh/stoinis/Abbott - 166/1 runs
21.2 overs from main bowlers - 85/2

To be fair, Australia tend to bowl Head/Marsh/Stoinis in every game because they don't have a proper 5th bowler.

Only Abbott is the bench player here.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 261/5 (43.2 overs).

Towhid is on 65*.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 267/5 (44 overs).

10 off the over.

 

[viking2559]

Australian bowling has been awful apart from Adam zampa.
South Africa will annihilate them if they bat first in the semi final.

I think pressure of a knockout game may knock out South Africa (even if they bat first).

Aussies are a champion knockout team.

Also, this is like a dead rubber for Australia.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 278/5 (45.4 overs).

Towhid is on 74*.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 283/5 (46 overs).

4 more overs to go. 320 is possible.

 

[sweep_shot]

Tawhid is out. Scored 74.

Good innings.

BD - 286/6.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 290/6 (47 overs).

 

[Valkyrie™]

Smart from Australia to give Stoinis death over bowling exposure ahead of semis

Yup.

This game is allowing Australia to test out things.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Bangladesh lost the plot totally. They were going very nicely but ended up with nothing score.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Why stupid nasum comes to bat at number 8???

 

[sweep_shot]

Why stupid nasum comes to bat at number 8???

Agree. Taskin should've been sent ahead. Can hit better.

Even Mustafiz can slog.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Stupid Tailenders lost the match for BD. 30 runs short .

 

[sweep_shot]

300 is up.

BD - 302/6 (48.5 overs).

 

[BouncerGuy]

nothing score this is from Bangladesh. Started off well but lost it in the end.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh finish at 306/8 after 50 overs.

Aussies need 307 to win.

 

[Asif321]

Bang bros on mission to destroy Aussie confidence

 

[sweep_shot]

If Australia chase this down (which they should), it would be their highest successful run chase in a World Cup ever.

Previous highest was 292 (previous game when Maxwell hit 201*).

 

[BouncerGuy]

Bangladesh started strong but could not manage to end on a huge total.

Today in the Match 43 of the ICC Cricket World Cup, 2023. AUS won the toss and decided to field first.

In the first innings, BAN scored 306 runs for 8 wickets in 50 overs.

 

[sweep_shot]

Cautious start from Australia.

AUS - 8/0 (2.2 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

Taskin gets Head.

AUS - 12/1 (2.5 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

Australia - 25/1 (4 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

Aussies are accelerating now.

AUS - 36/1 (5 overs).

Aussies are striking very well. I wouldn't be surprised if they chase this down in 40 overs.

AUS - 48/1 (7 overs).

 

[FearlessRoar]

Fifty up for Australia

AUS 50/1 in 8.1 overs.

 

[sweep_shot]

AUS - 76/1 (12 overs).

BD need to take wickets.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD probably have done enough to secure CT 2025 qualification now.

Even if they lose, NRR shouldn't take a big hit (exactly what they needed).

 

[sweep_shot]

Australia - 94/1 (14.3 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

In order for Bangladesh to miss CT 2025, Australia have to chase down the target in 22.4 overs.

Bangladesh are 35 balls away from securing CT 2025 qualification.

 

[sweep_shot]

AUS - 107/1 (17 overs).

 

[MenInG]

Warner follows Marsh to fifty, his off 52 balls - Australia getting into motor mode now

 

[sweep_shot]

Australia - 132/1 (22 overs).

Too easy for the Aussies.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Not Bangladesh's good review.

Aussies are halfway there.
