Earlier, Bangladesh set a 307-run target for Australia in the 43rd match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Towhid Hridoy scored a fine 74 while stand-in captain Najmul Hossain Shanto stroked 45 to take Bangladesh to 306/8.

Against all expectations, Pat Cummins’ team overcame all odds and secured a three-wicket win against Afghanistan in the previous match, riding on a spectacular double-century from Glenn Maxwell. The team faced a tough situation, losing seven wickets for less than 100 runs in a substantial run chase, but their unwavering self-confidence ultimately led them to success. Moreover, having secured a spot in the semifinals, Australia aims for a convincing win to build momentum for the upcoming crucial match.

In the absence of Shakib al Hasan, who sustained an injury in the last game against Sri Lanka, Najmul Hossain Shanto will captain the side. Despite Bangladesh’s three-wicket win in the previous match, it did little to improve their standing in the tournament. They are now eliminated from semifinal contention having secured only two victories in eight matches. Nevertheless, Shanto and his team are determined to perform well in this game and conclude the tournament on a positive note.
