The Australian Cricket Team started their Super 8 campaign with 28 runs via the DLS method against Bangladesh played at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua on 21st June 2024.  

Aussies captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and decided to field first. Mitchell Starc dismissed Tanzid Hasan cheaply putting Bangladesh's batting on the backfoot.  Liton Das and Najmul Hasan Shanto struggled initially before showing some intent. At the end of the first six overs, Bangladesh scored 39 for 1.

Adam Zampa got the much-needed breakthrough dismissing Das who tried to hit a big shot. Das and Shanto added 58 runs for the 2nd wicket. Maxwell struck in his first over getting rid of Rishad Hossain who was promoted to number 4.

Despite some lovely strokes by Hridoy, Australian bowlers kept it tight restricting Bangla Tigers to just 140 for 8 in 20 overs.

Chasing 141 runs to win, David Warner was given a reprieve with a drop catch chance. Warner and Head showed intent putting the Bangladesh bowlers under immense pressure. Both looked in sublime touch keeping scoreboard ticking and keeping Australia on course for a comfortable win.

Australia raced away to 59 for 0 at the end of the first six overs. With the scoreboard reading 64 for 0, the rain arrived, and the match was stopped.

Rishad Hossain produced a lovely delivery to dismiss Travis Head. Head and Warner added 65 runs for the opening wicket. The leg spinner struck again getting rid of Australian captain Mitchell Marsh to give some hope for Bangladesh.

Warner showed intent in keeping the momentum going, reaching fifty off 34 balls. With the scoreboard reading 100 for 2, rain arrived again, and the match was stopped due to heavy rain. Australia got 2 valuable points as they won by 28 runs.

Pat Cummins became the 2nd Australian To Take Hattrick In T20 World Cups
