Aaron Finch
(Winning Captain):Every time there was a partnership going, there were a few butterflies. We have been pretty consistent. We have guys who have WC experience. Having good partnerships with bat and ball is important. Few of the changes were forced. The spinner was left out as well for a few games. It also depends on the wicket. We always pride ourselves on our fielding and we were quite sloppy despite the wet conditions at the beginning. No excuses there. Not yet thinking about semis. Hopefully, we will secure a place in the top four. Nice to get a couple of boundaries away at the start. The wickets have been good as well and that helps as an opening batsman.
Mashrafe Mortaza
(Losing Captain):I think we gave away 40-50 on the field. Otherwise, it could have been a different chase. Credit to Warner and other Australian batsmen. This is the best we have. A few newcomers have come in. To be honest, we have been positive. Soumya got out run out and Shakib-Tamim did well but 381 was tough. Every game we need to win and wait for others as well.
David Warner (Man of the Match)
:Obviously it's a great achievement (to equal Adam Gilchrist's 16 hundreds). For us it's about getting the 2 points and moving onto the next game at Lord's. I think you always keep wickets in hand in ODIs. It's the way we play. We don't intentionally not go after it on purpose. You have to respect the new ball. If you get off to a flier, you go ahead with the momentum you have. The bowlers bowled well to us in patches. It's about knocking it around and try to target 6-8 an over after that in the middle overs. You have to adapt to the conditions, and it's about momentum after that. If you get off to a flier, it's about assessing, one, how many wickets you lost, and two, how to go about the middle overs. It was a little slow, the wicket, but credit to the way Bangladesh fought. Mushfiqur played a fantastic innings. It was a grind for the bowlers, very difficult to get wickets out there, but it was great to get those two points in the end.
Overs 46 to 50 Roundup! Runs: 33 ; Wickets: 4 ; Bangladesh 333/8
It all unfolded rather quickly in the end for Bangladesh. Coulter-Nile struck the decisive blows ending all hopes of a late comeback when he sent back Mahmudullah and Sabbir Rahman off consecutive deliveries in the 46th over.
After that it Starc who got rid of Mehidy Hasan in the penultimate over and the only bright spot for the Tigers was Mushfiqur Rahim bringing up his first World Cup century. Bangladesh can take heart from this defeat though as they managed to reach 333 against a strong Australian unit.
Australia beat Bangladesh by 48 runs.

Overs 41 to 45 Roundup! Runs: 55 ; Wickets: 0 ; Bangladesh 300/4
It’s getting interesting now as the Bangladesh batsmen are finding the boundary more often. However, you can’t help but wonder whether they’ve left too much for the end.
Cummins has bowled his quota of 10 overs and was expensive in the last two giving away 24 runs. Bangladesh now need 82 from the last 30 balls. They’ll need some Andre Russell like hitting to get over the line.
SIX!
Cummins sends down a fuller delivery and Mahmudullah clears his front foot to launch the ball over deep midwicket.
FOUR!
Coulter-Nile goes for the yorker but sends down a low full-toss which Mahmudullah flicks to deep square leg for back-to-back boundaries.

Mahmudullah dances out and launches the length ball from Zampa high over long-on for a massive six.
Overs 36 to 40 Roundup! Runs: 37 ; Wickets: 0 ; Bangladesh 245/4
Bangladesh can still achieve this target but will need one of these two batsmen to pull out something really spectacular. The run-rate is still just over 6 per over while they require to be scoring at above 14 per over now.

Overs 31 to 35 Roundup! Runs: 31 ; Wickets: 0 ; Bangladesh 208/4
Bangladesh are still moving along at the same pace with the required run rate now hovering just above 11 per over. They really need to pick up the pace now before it’s too late. However, they’re pretty neck-to-neck in terms of runs with where Australia were placed during this phase of their innings. The only thing that will trouble the Tigers is the loss of wickets.
FIFTY up for Rahim! 51 (54)
FOUR!
Cummins sends down a nasty short ball into the body and Rahim looks to tickle it fine but it comes off the gloves and past the keeper. That also brings up the FIFTY for Rahim.

Overs 26 to 30 Roundup! Runs: 31 ; Wickets: 1 ; Bangladesh 177/4
Aaron Finch brings back both his strike bowlers into the attack looking for another breakthrough. Liton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim negotiate them well but finally the breakthrough comes from the spinner Adam Zampa.
Zampa traps Das plumb in the 30th over and they go for the review but impact is left to ‘Umpire’s Call’ which means that Das has to return. Another big wicket for Australia which leaves Bangladesh with very little margin for error from here on.
WICKET! Das lbw Zampa 20 (17)
Zampa sends down a flipper and Das looks to nudge it through the leg-side but misses as the ball skids onto his pads. Bangladesh go for the review but the impact is left to 'Umpire's Call'. They retain the review but Das has to return to the dugout.
FOUR!
Coulter-Nile sends down a short ball into the body but Das connects beautifully with the pull sending the ball flying over midwicket.

Starc sends down a full delivery outside off and Rahim leans into the drive sending the ball racing through extra cover.
Overs 21 to 25 Roundup! Runs: 34 ; Wickets: 1 ; Bangladesh 146/3
Mushfiqur Rahim looks in good form as he rotates strike and also picks up the odd boundaries. However, the wicket of Tamim has knocked the wind out of Bangladesh at the moment. Tamim was just outdone by the pace of Starc as he chopped the ball back onto the stumps.
Liton Das walks out to bat and is welcomed by a rising bouncer which hits him flush on the helmet. There’s a pause in play as they do a quick medical check and Liton replaces his helmet. Bangladesh aren’t too badly placed but they need someone to take charge and pick up the scoring-rate.
WICKET! Tamim b Starc 62 (74)
Pacy short of length delivery from Starc and Tamim looks to guide it behind square leg but only ends up chopping the ball back onto the stumps.

Overs 16 to 20 Roundup! Runs: 28 ; Wickets: 1 ; Bangladesh 112/2
Big breakthrough for Australia and it comes at a vital time just before Shakib could complete his fifty and accelerate further. Shakib just outdone by the change of pace from Stoinis as he mistimes the shot to mid-off.
Mushfiqur Rahim walks out to the crease. He plays a brilliant reverse sweep off Zampa in the 20th over for a boundary. Bangladesh need to pick up a pace a little to avoid leaving too much for the end.
FOUR!
Zampa sends down a full delivery down middle and Rahim connects beautifully with a reverse sweep sending the ball over backward point.
WICKET! Shakib c Warner b Stoinis 41 (41)

FOUR!

Overs 11 to 15 Roundup! Runs: 31 ; Wickets: 0 ; Bangladesh 84/1
Shakib is looking in fine form and thumps Maxwell for back-to-back boundaries in the 13th over. But apart from those two hits the Aussies have bowled well not giving away any more boundaries.
They’re maintaining a tight line against both left-handers. However, Bangladesh are doing well to stay within sights by rotating strike well. The game is well-poised at the moment.
FOUR!
Back-to-back boundaries for Shakib as he leans forward and once again lofts the ball straight down the ground.
FOUR!
Shakib skips forward and chips the 2nd delivery from Maxwell straight down the ground.
