Pitch Report:
Analysis
The Mitch Marsh-led Australia has performed as the favourite to win the tournament and dominated their group to finish on top. Despite being stuck in a few games, the Aussies have found ways to win with their experienced stars stepping up. The Aussie batting has been in tremendous form with Travis Head and Marcus Stoinis among the top run-scorers. On the bowling front, the pacers have done decently well but Adam Zampa continues to be their main weapon through this tournament.
On the other hand, Bangladesh have had their struggles throughout the tournament but have managed to pull through by holding their nerves in crunch moments. The Bangla batting has struggled to score runs with a few batters stepping up to score some valuable runs. But with the ball, the Tigers have dominated with spinners performing well while the pace attack of Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Mustafizur Rahman has dominated.
