Match Preview:
Playing their final league stage game of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, Australia and Bangladesh will lock horns in Pune’s MCA Stadium. After a shaky start, Australia has redeemed itself as one of the tournament favourites. In contrast, Bangladesh have been one of the most disappointing teams in the tournament with just two wins in their campaign.
Pitch Report:
The MCA Stadium in Pune has been a batter’s paradise with an average score of 305 runs. The batters have piled on many runs, thanks to the ground’s short dimensions and the incredible pitches. At the same time, fast bowlers can come into play early in both innings with a new ball, while spinners can also find a turn if the pitch starts gripping.
Team Analysis:
Australia
After losing two opening games, the Aussies have roared back among the top teams in the tournament with six consecutive wins in the World Cup. The batting has gradually improved with the likes of David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell in great form. Similarly, the bowing led by Adam Zampa has performed well so far. But Steven Smith’s vertigo issue could have a major impact on the Australian middle-order.

David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Steve Smith, Josh Inglis (wk), Cameron Green, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins (c), Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
Bangladesh
Unlike Australia, Bangladesh have had a dismal campaign which started with a win over Afghanistan. The Bangladeshi top-order has failed to score runs at a consistent clip, putting extra pressure on a shaky middle-order. While the bowlers haven’t been able to find regular breakthroughs and haven’t managed to spin-friendly conditions in their favour. Further, Shakib Al Hasan’s injury which ruled him out of this game has piled on more problems for Bangladesh.

Australia has a better chance to win this fixture and defeat Bangladesh to register their seventh consecutive win in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 .
