Australia vs Bangladesh Live Score Updates: AUS vs BAN, Litton Kumer Das and Tanzid Hasan are opening the batting for Bangladesh at Maharashtra Cricket Stadium in Pune. The pair of Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins started the proceedings for Australia.
Two changes for Australia, Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Starc miss out while Sean Abbott and Steve Smith come in as their replacements.
Australia and Bangladesh have had drastically different World Cup campaigns so far, with the Bangladesh Tigers losing all their matches after their opening encounter against Afghanistan, apart from a win in their last outing against Sri Lanka.
The Aussies, on the other hand, have won six games in a row after their opening two defeats to India and South Africa. The Kangaroos have found a hero at every stage of the tournament, from the batting prowess of David Warner, Travis Head, Steve Smith and Mitchell Marsh to the bowling wizardry of Adam Zampa and the Aussie quickies.
Australia’s top-order batsman Steve Smith missed the last match against Afghanistan due to a viral infection and the Kangaroos will be keen to get the experienced batsman back into the side as they prepare for the crucial clashes. Australia, who have already qualified for the semi-finals, are likely to face South Africa in the big game.
In their last outing before the semi-finals, Pat Cummins and Co will be looking to keep the momentum going into the knockout stages of the tournament.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, would have been encouraged by a much-needed win over rivals Sri Lanka in their last outing. However, the loss of captain Shakib al Hasan to injury could add to the Men in Green’s woes.

Australia: David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis(w), Marcus Stoinis, Sean Abbott, Pat Cummins(c), Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

“I have played (against) a lot of sub continental teams and one thing I have always found that if you could take the sting out of the game, not by runs but by basically being there, you play one or two shots in every couple of overs and you can see how flat it starts to get.” The right handed batter added
Maxwell further said, “They start to sort of a bit of bickering, a bit of infighting, finger-pointing, arms-raising, fielders not paying attention, it sort of starts to unravel a bit and I have been in teams where I have seen that happen as well,”
Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Is Steve Smith out of his Vertigo woes? Aussie hed coch explains
Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Australia coach Andrew McDonald while speaking about Steve Smith’s Vertigo issues said (as quoted by Sportskeeda), “(Smith) was battling with his balance on certain shots. He went through some running between the wickets as well, which probably aggravated it a little bit more, then he went upstairs for some treatment. It was clear that he wasn’t right for the game. Having a fully fit player to come in and perform was an easy decision.”
Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Daniel Vettori praises spinner Adam Zampa
Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Speaking at the pre-match presser Vettori said, “Yeah, it was obviously a very difficult start through injuries and illness to be able to actually play (Zampa). Probably the first three games was a bit of a – well it was an amazing effort because I think he was pretty close to pulling out against Pakistan. Fitness test right up to just before the toss.
“So, to see him get through that, has been the starting point. But I think his control of his length has been the best that I’ve seen in this period of time, particularly through those three games where he took four wickets in a row and then against England.” The Aussie bowling coach added.

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: What’s the success of Maxwell’s recent bowling improvement? Daniel Vettori decodes
Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Australia bowling coach, Daniel Vettori while speaking at the pre-match press conference said, “I think you have to give Glenn [Maxwell] most of that credit. I think he’s a very willing bowler and I think sometimes that can be the hardest part of being an all-rounder, that even though you do have the skills, the desires, not always there. And Max, he loves bowling. And he loves the strategy that goes into it, probably like with his batting.”
“So, I think you see a bowler that’s evolved over the last few years. And I think he’s been able to, in particular, start to bowl over the wicket to right-handers, which sort of went out of fashion for a period of time, and I think it’s his ability to almost get near topspin, challenge the stumps the whole time from round and over the wicket,” Vettori added.

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: ‘Leave it to the umpires’ says Bangladesh coach on ‘timed out’ dismissal
Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha while speaking about the Angelo Mathews ‘timed out’ dismissal in the last game said, “I don’t think it’s going to stop here, if whatever I say. Only thing I can say here is it’s one of the mode of dismissal. It was addition, recent addition into the condition of play. I think it’s the sixth edition or the fifth edition of playing condition. And my only thing is to keep all this, I don’t know whether this is going to stop, but I think my suggestion is, it have to leave it to the umpires to decide, because if you read the law, it says timed out. I don’t think it’s leave it to the players to appeal and all that. Then everybody has a different opinion on both sides. So that’s all I can comment at the moment.”
Australia vs Bangladesh Live: ‘Depends on how he feels’ Daniel Vettori on Glenn Maxwell’s selection
Australia vs Bangladesh Live: “Speaking at the pre-matcu press conference, Aussie bowling coch Danel Vettori said, “I think it’ll be how he feels – I don’t think it’ll be a fitness test scenario. We understand that obviously now that the semi-final is pretty definitive in Kolkata on the 16th, that it will be a build towards that. I think he does have a track record of being able to bounce back pretty quickly, even with some time away from the game. So, I think, like I said, it will depend on how the day goes and then make a decision. Being a day game as well, probably means tonight they’ll make the call,”

Australia vs Bangladesh Live: Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusinghe said,”Oh, they had a wonderful journey overall for a cricketer to play four World Cups is very, very unique and then for Bangladesh cricket, I don’t know whether they are playing their last one. So, to be honest, they’re still very fit. They’re still performing. It’s up to them individually to decide that one. So, I can’t comment on their last one. But then to play four World Cups – one guy is five, I think, is it? Mushfiqur and Shakib played five. So, it’s wonderful, I mean, anyone playing or starting to play cricket and dreaming of playing five. And they have been the best of Bangladesh cricket in the short journey of Bangladesh cricket. If they decided to quit, It’s a change of baton kind of thing for Bangladesh cricket,”
