Chasing a target of 292 runs, Australia faced early setbacks, losing the first seven wickets for just 91 runs. However, Glenn Maxwell played a historical innings, scoring an outstanding 201 runs off 128 deliveries. His exceptional effort played a pivotal role in Australia’s successful chase, guiding them to victory in 46.5 overs.
Bangladesh faced off against Sri Lanka in their recent match which they won by three wickets. A century from Charith Asalanka took Sri Lanka to a first innings total of 279, which Bangladesh chased down in 41.1 overs. Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 90 while Shakib Al Hasan scored 80.
