Australia aims to sustain their winning streak as they face Bangladesh at MCA International Stadium, Pune, on Saturday, November 11.
Having triumphed in six consecutive matches at the World Cup, Australia is eager to secure a seventh victory before the high-stakes semi-final against South Africa next week.
Despite already securing a spot in the semi-finals, Australia remains focused and determined against Bangladesh. They aim to build even more momentum for the upcoming crucial encounter with South Africa.
The opening pair of David Warner and Travis Head, who missed out in the previous match against Afghanistan, are eager to contribute with a substantial score.
Additionally, spinner Adam Zampa, in excellent form, eyes the opportunity to become the leading wicket-taker at the tournament with another impressive performance.
While Bangladesh is no longer in contention for a semi-final spot, a victory in this match could bring them a step closer to qualifying for the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025.
However, they face challenges with inspirational skipper Shakib Al Hasan sidelined due to a finger issue. Stand-in skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and others will need to step up in his absence.
