ICC World Cup 2019  

Match 26 - Australia Vs Bangladesh



Aussie top order is in peak form
                                 Again and again Australia proving they are defending champions. Dont know how they will get energy whenever going for big tournaments particularly for world cup. Ofcourse the inclusion of David Warner and Steve Smith made them stronger. They alone didnt added strength to the team. Aussie skipper Aaron Finch was not at all in form last year. But this year he was in peak form. Even in last match against Sri lanka also he scored a tremendous century. If finch on last game, its David Warner's turn on this game. The man came to play international cricket after a one year ban gave best ever come back in IPL'19 as well as in ICC WC 2019. Even additional batsman Usman Khawajah too scoring. They have player with batting skill till 10th player in the team. Its an unique character applicable only for Australian team among world cricket playing nation.

                                At the same time we should not forget the Bangladesh team too. They having the best team in their cricket history and everyone is in good form. But will it sufficient for them to defeat a phoenix team like Australia????? Definitely no... Australia won the toss and decided to bat first in a perfect batting pitch with great batting lineup. And exactly the same thing happened whatever we thought. Warner and Finch started slowly till 15th over and gradually increased their acceleration. Both scored half century, and for Aaron Finch its 8 half century in last 11 matches. Bangladesh tried with many bowlers spin, fast , medium pace everything. Finally they got a wicket from part time bowler Soumya Sarkar. Finch gone as 1st wicket when he was 53 runs  from 51 balls. Usman Khawajah joined with Warner both build another 100+ partnership for Aussie. David Warner scored his century in the mean time. They took Australia more than 300 runs. Once again Soumya Sarkar made a breakthrough for Bangladesh. Warner gone for 166 runs from 147 balls. Its 6th 150plus score for David Warner equalled the record of Sachin and Rohit Sharma. Still 6 overs left. As expected Maxwell came to bat ahead of Steve Smith. Maxwell blasted like a missile. He smashed 32 runs from just 9 balls with 2 boundaries and 3sixes. But a mix up between max and khawajah costs the wicket of maxwell. In the same over Khawajah gone for 89 runs  from 72 balls to Soumya. Steve Smith changed his order and went quickly. When maxwell was at crease the predicted score was more than 400. But Australia scored 381/5 at the end of 50 overs. No one had good day except Soumya Sarkar from Bangladesh side.

                                       In last match Bangladesh chased 322 runs successfully against Windies at 42nd over itself. So their fans thought this would be a chasable target for their team. But they forget to remember they are Australia not Windies. Bangladesh bowling star Soumya failed to shine in his primary batting side. He went for 10 runs by a direct hit from Finch at 4th over itself. Inform Shakib and Tamim joined hands together and started to increase team score. But Marcus Stoinis broke their partnership by removing Shakib for 41 runs before reaching his half century. Within next 6 overs Tamim gone for 62 runs by a superb delivery from Mitchell Starc. Last game second hero Litton Das didnt sustain and lost his wicket for 20 runs to Zampa. Experienced Mushfiqur and Mahmadullah tried to save their team from a big margin defeat. Rahim played well and scored his another half century. Bangladesh needed 137 runs from last 10 overs. But rahim and mahmadullah combo became a big threat to Australia. Mahmadullah started to hit boundaries and reached his half century from 41 balls. Other rahim rahim slowly reaching his century. Bangladesh crossed 300 runs at 46th over and lost Mahmadullah (69 runs from 50 balls) wicket in the same over to Coulter Nile. Before the crowd chant stops Coulter nile sent Sabbir Rahman to pavilion in the next ball itself. Coulter Nile looking forward his hattrick wicket but Mehidy Hasan tok single and prevent him from taking hattrick. Starc honoured the tailenders with his swing and pace. He sent Mehidy to pavilion for 6 runs. Rahim scored century from 95 balls at the end of 49 overs. But no use in that, bangladesh need 56 runs from 6 balls. Mortaza gone at last ball of the innings. Thats it the end of wonderful chase from Bangladesh. Bangladesh scored 333/8 at the end of 50 overs. Australia won the match by 48 runs.  They fought till the end, if australia would have scored only 340 runs definitely Bangladesh would have been chased easily. Definitely its the best world cup series for tigers in their cricket history. 

Man of the Match: David Warner (166 runs from 147 balls with 14 fours and 5 six)

                                 Australia registered their second highest total in world cups in this match. Moreover David Warner is the highest individual scorer in ICC WC 2019. Australia were now at the top of table with 5 wins from 6 games. Its almost confirmed now which four teams were going to qualify for semi finals. Bangladesh alone have very less chance to qualify but its not only depends on their win in  future games. Its based upon the loss of top four teams too.  Tomorrow we are expecting it will be another high scoring match in this world cup. Because the hosts England going to face the Sri lankans. England may have chance to score first 400 runs in this world cup. But anything can happen in one day match. Lets see what going to happen.
