Australia vs Bangladesh: Semi-Final Dreams on the Line

Table of Contents

Australia vs Bangladesh will be the 43rd ICC Cricket World Cup match, which is going to be played at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune, on November 11, 2023.

Australia Cricket Team had an exceptional last night against Afghanistan when Glenn Maxwell single-handedly pulled out the best innings in cricket history to give his team secured qualification for the semi-final. Maxwell scored an unbeaten 201 in 128 runs, and that also on one leg, not taking singles, hitting ten sixes and 21 fours clearly shows the kind of innings he played against Afghanistan in the last match.

The Aussies qualified for the semi-final and will go up against South Africa, most probably who defeated them in the group stage match, but before that, their next match is against Bangladesh, who are already out of the World Cup. There will be a few changes we are going to see in the Australia Playing 11.

Bangladesh won their last match against Sri Lanka but lost a game in terms of team spirit because of the Angelo Mathews incident in which they appealed for a time-out just after Mathews’s helmet strap was broken. However, they won the match by three wickets after an amazing innings by Shakib Al-Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto.
