Australia will face Bangladesh in their first game of ‘Super 8’ in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. The game will take place in Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua on the 21st of June at 6:30 a.m. BST. Here you will find all you need to know about the game. Match Details Table: Schedule of BAN vs AUS match in the T20 World Cup 2024 at Super 8 Stage Match Date (BST) Teams Time (BST) Venue 44 21/6/2024 Bangladesh vs Australia 6:30 AM Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua Read more: ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024: Groups, Match Fixtures, and Venues Preview of BAN vs AUS Match in T20 World Cup 2024 Australia had a 100% record of winning in the group stage where they beat all of England, Namibia, Scotland, and Oman comprehensively to become the group champion. Bangladesh also performed impressively in the group. Barring losing a cliffhanger against South Africa, they won all of their group games. Australian batting has arguably been the best in this tournament. In an event where teams are struggling to get runs, Australia has scored 160+ on three occasions. The other game where they didn’t achieve this feat was only because Namibia gave them a target of 73 only and they chased it down within 8 overs. Additionally, they are one of the only 3 teams to score 200+ in an innings in this World Cup till now. On the other hand, Bangladesh have been reliant on their bowling this time. Their pacers have delivered big time. Leg-spinner Rishad Hossain was a revelation for them during this World Cup. The same goes for Tanzim Hasan Sakib who is the joint 3rd highest wicket-taker of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Two of the top 10 wicket-takers of this tournament are from Bangladesh. At the same time, two of the top 10 run-scorers of this ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 are from Australia. Australia’s strongest zone is Bangladesh’s weakest. The Bangladesh team’s batting has been extremely unreliable this time. The horrible lack of form in their top order is a huge concern for them. Their opening pair couldn’t gather a single run two out of four times in this World Cup. They could only manage 9 and 3 runs the other two times in their opening partnership. Additionally, their highest 2nd wicket partnership is only 20 runs and they lost three wickets within 50 runs twice. Shakib Al Hasan’s half-century against the Netherlands is the only occasion of 50+ innings from a Bangladeshi batter this time. These are just some glimpses of their batting performance. Therefore, Australia will look to bat first to put a good total on the board and suffocate the struggling Bangladesh batting lineup. Bangladesh will look toward their bowlers, specially seamers, to get them past this Australian side and start the Super 8 phase with a win.

Probable Lineups of BAN vs AUS Match in Super 8 Stage Most Probable XI of Australia Team Travis Head, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh (Captain), Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, Matthew Wade, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Ellis, Josh Hazlewood, and Adam Zampa. Most Probable XI of Bangladesh Team Tanzid Hasan, Litton Kumer Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto (Captain), Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Sakib, and Mustafizur Rahman. Read more: Bangladesh secures last Super 8 spot beating Nepal at T20 World Cup; Pakistan bows out Key Players to Watch in the Australian Team Marcus Stoinis Marcus Stoinis has been the best player for Australia. He is the highest run-scorer and 2nd highest wicket-taker for the team in this campaign. His impact has been a differential factor for them. The games against Oman and Scotland are direct evidence of his impact where Australia had some concerns due to the early fall of wickets. Stoinis not only steadied the ship for Australia but anchored them to sail. He has won Man of the Match in 2 out of 4 games Travis Head Travis Head is the 2nd highest run-scorer for Australia. He has maintained his role of giving a fiery start to the team. However, his main impact would be against Bangladesh pacers. He has a strike rate of almost 200+ against right-handed pacers this year. Therefore, he is the perfect man to tackle the fearsome pace attack of Bangladesh. Adam Zampa Adam Zampa has been the go-to spin bowler of Australia for a long time. He is the highest wicket-taker for Australia and the 2nd most impactful player for this team. He won the Man of the Match award in the other two matches where Marcus Stoinis didn’t win. Bangladesh traditionally suffers against leg-spinners. Therefore, he can be vital for this game.

And so far, no one is more reliable than Tanzim Sakib. He has been a headache for opponent top-order batters. He has taken 4 against Nepal, 3 against South Africa, and 1 each against Sri Lanka, and Netherlands in his opening spells. Bangladesh need early wickets in this game and Tanzim Sakib is the man for this. Rishad Hossain He has been a trump card for Bangladesh. He picked 7 wickets but all of them were huge and game-changing wickets. Australian batters struggle against spinners, especially leggings. Rishad Hossain has to play one of his best games with the ball. Also, the match is supposed to be a bit more high-scoring. Therefore, his pinch-hitting can prove vital against Nepal. Mustafizur Rahman Another of the key bowlers of Bangladesh. If Tanzim Sakib does the damage in the beginning, he destroys the opponent’s innings in the end. He has been the death-over specialist of this World Cup. His role becomes more crucial as he might be bowling against their hard-hitters like Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, and Tim David. Bangladesh need a classic Mustafiz show in this game. Verdict Australian Men’s Cricket Team always enter every tournament and matches as the favorites. They have maintained their winning streak in this ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 so far. Not to mention, they are favorites in the BAN vs AUS match in the Super 8 stage. However, Bangladesh can also turn out to be the winner if they can solve their issue with batting. Read more: Analyzing Bangladesh Squad for ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.

Bangladesh earned a thumping 60-run victory, their second-biggest in terms of runs, against Australia in the fifth and final T20I on Monday at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. While chasing a target of 123, Australia tumbled for 62— their lowest total in T20Is now. Their previous lowest in the format was 79 for 10 against England in 2005. Australia were dismissed in 13.4 overs bowing to brilliant bowling by Bangladesh. They never lost all of their wickets in an international cricket faster than this innings. Australia lost their last seven wickets for only 14 runs going down from 48 for three. Also read: Shoriful enjoys his partnership with Mustafiz 

Tigers are all set to take on visitors Australia on Monday in the fifth match of the five-match T20I series. The match will kick off at 6 p.m. at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. Bangladesh have won the first three matches and wrapped the series up. But they conceded a defeat in the fourth match. In the first match of the series, Bangladesh had put only 131 runs on the board while batting first. Despite a low score, the hosts managed to win the match by 23 runs. In the second match, they had chased down a target of 122 runs with five wickets in hand, and in the third match, they defended a total of 127 runs and won by 10 runs. Read: Bangladesh vs. Australia Series 2021: 5th T20I Preview The winning streak came to an end in the fourth match when the hosts ended up scoring only 104 runs while batting first. They still fought valiantly and lost in the 19th over. It was Bangladesh’s first-ever series win against Australia in any format of cricket. Shakib Al Hasan led the way for the Bangladeshi batsman in this series scoring 103 runs in four matches, while Mustafizur Rahman and Shoriful Islam were the highest wicket-takers for the hosts with seven scalps each in four matches. The biggest reason behind Australia’s poor show in this series is their clueless batting on the slow surface of Dhaka. Matthew Wade, the stand-in captain of Australia, has repeatedly been saying that if their batting woes continue, they will have to suffer big problems in the coming days. While the Australian team is worried much about their performance, Bangladesh are aiming to pull up another win in this series. Read: Nightmarish outing of Shakib costs Bangladesh 4th T20I Bangladesh might overlook Soumya Sarkar in the last match to pave way for one of Mohammad Mithun and Mosaddek Hossain Saikat. Soumya has been going through a bad patch for a while now. In this series so far, he posted a total of 12 runs. In the absence of the ace batsmen— Mushfiqur Rahim, Tamim Iqbal and Liton Das, it was expected that Soumya would flourish and help the Tigers to shine against the Australians, but the left-handers failed. After this series, Bangladesh will host New Zealand for a five-match T20I series. The Blackcaps are scheduled to arrive in Dhaka in later August, and the series will commence in early September in Dhaka.

For the first time in his career, Shakib Al Hasan conceded 50 runs in a T20I match, with five sixes in an over, which eventually played the biggest role behind Bangladesh’s 3-wicket defeat against Australia on Saturday at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. Bangladesh batted first in this game and posted only 104 runs for nine wickets in 20 overs. In reply, Australia found the going tough losing wickets in regular intervals as Bangladeshi bowlers were disciplined enough to put pressure on them. But Shakib’s 30-run fourth over cost the match for Bangladesh. The all-rounder was simply clueless while bowling to Daniel Christian who ended up scoring 39 off 15 balls with five sixes, all off Shakib. The left-arm spinner ended up conceding 50 runs without a wicket— his worst bowling figures in the format. While Shakib had a nightmarish day with the ball, Mustafizur Rahman was once again brilliant conceding only nine runs in four overs with a maiden and two wickets. Mahedi Hasan also bagged two wickets. But that inconceivably expensive over of Shakib undermined efforts of other bowlers. Read: Shoriful reprimanded for breaching ICC code of conduct Ashton Agar was the second-highest run getter for Australia scoring 27 off 27 balls with two fours and one six. He retired to the dressing room finishing the game. They ended up on 105 for seven in 19 overs. Earlier, Bangladesh opener Soumya Sarkar continued his poor form with the bat. After scoring 2, 0 and 2 in the first three outings of the series, Soumya perished with 8 runs in this match. Bangladesh managed to post only 104 runs in the fourth match. Along with Soumya, Mahmudullah Riyad, who had hit a ton in the third match, and Nurul Hasan Shohan also failed with the bat. Both Mahmudullah and Sohan returned for a duck each. Of the first five batsmen, Mohammad Naim and Shakib Al Hasna were only to reach double-digit scores. While Naim scored 28 off 36 while Shakib posted 15 off 26 deliveries. Mitchell Swepson, the leg-spinner, was playing his first match in this series. He ended up taking three wickets conceding 13 runs. He removed Mahmudullah and Sohan off two consecutive deliveries during the 11th over. Swepson also scalped Naim for 28. The onus was on Afif Hossain, Mahedi Hasan and Shamim Hossain to keep the scoreboard afloat. Afif scored 21 off 17 balls before falling prey to Ashton Agar. Read: BAN vs. AUS 2021: Bangladesh Secure Historic Series Win Over Australia Shamim Hossain, who grabbed the limelight in the Zimbabwe tour, failed for the third time in the Australia series scoring three. In the two previous matches, he scored 4 and 3. Mahedi posted 23 off 16 balls with one four and one six. Eventually, Bangladesh ended up on 104 for nine wickets in 20 overs. For Australia, Swepson and Andrew Tye bagged three wickets each while and Josh Hazlewood took two wickets. Bangladesh have already won the series with three consecutive wins in the first three matches. Both the teams will now face each other in the fifth and final match of the series on August 9 at the same venue.

With three consecutive victories, Bangladesh won their first-ever bilateral series against Australia with two matches still to play, with a 10-run win in Friday's 3rd T20I in Mirpur.  Australia needed to score 22 runs off the last six balls bowled by Mahedi Hasan, but they only managed 11. Alex Carey smashed a six off the first ball of the last over, but they couldn’t continue on that. But the win was really set up by some outstanding bowling from Mustafizur Rahman in the previous over, when with Australia needing 23 off 2 overs to get back in the series, The Fizz conceded just a single run, bamboozling the batsmen with his clever variations and significantly taking the pressure off Mahedi for the last over.   It was another exceptional performance with the ball by Mustafiz - his previous over, the 17th of the Australian innings, had also gone for just 4 runs. He ended with figures of 0/9 off his 4 overs - 15 dot balls and 9 singles. And even then he was unlucky, as he should have had the wicket of Ben McDermott, drafted in to open the batting for the visitors today, but Shoriful Islam dropped a dolly at deep fine leg.    Read:Rain delays start of 3rd T20 Earlier, Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat first and scored 127 for nine wickets in 20 overs. Once again it was tough going for the batsmen in Mirpur, where the pitches have not allowed the ball to come on to the bat throughout the series. The Tigers innings was held together by a sensible half-century from captain Mahmudullah, after once again the opening pair failed to deliver a decent start. In reply, Australia made a good start despite losing their first wicket early on, with Nasum Ahmed striking in his first over once again to remove Matthew Wade for one.  That brought in Mitch Marsh, the visitors' only in form batsman, and he and McDermott proceeded to steady the ship with a second wicket-stand of 63 runs. When Shoriful dropped the opener, it looked like it wasn't going to be the Tigers' day, and we would have to wait at least another day to savour a series victory. But in the very next over, Shakib Al Hasan, the big match player, gave Bangladesh a whiff, sending McDermott back to the pavilion bowled for 35, in the 14th over of the innings, at the end of which Australia needed 54 off 6 overs. Shoriful made up for his earlier error by getting rid of Henriques in the very next over, and the Tigers were well and truly in business at that point.    Smelling their opportunity, the Tigers never lost track again.  When Australia needed 34 off 3 overs, Shoriful Islam removed Mitchell Marsh for 51. A superb slow-delivery did the trick for the tall left-arm pacer. Marsh lifted to the long-on area, and Mohammad Naim came in to take an easy catch. Marsh’s dismissal came as a big blow for Australia.  Eventually, Australia ended up on 117 for four wickets in 20 overs.  Apart from Mustafiz, who has been nearly unplayable all week and should be a strong contender for player of the series, Shoriful took 2/29 off his four overs, while Nasum Ahmed  took 1/19 and Shakib 1/22 off their full complement of overs.  Before this series, Bangladesh had never won a T20I match against the Aussies, never won a series, nor even two games in any one format of the game.  Batting first, Bangladesh failed to lay a good foundation as both the openers were dismissed inside 2.1 overs. Mohammad Naim, who did well in the first match, fell prey to Josh Hazlewood for one. Soumya Sarkar failed to come out of his batting woes once again as he fell for two.  In the third wicket stand, Mahmudullah Riyad and Shakib Al Hasan added 44 of 36 balls. Smashing Mitchell Marsh for two consecutive fours, Shakib was suggesting to play a big innings but failed to continue on a good run.  Off the first ball of the ninth over by Adam Zampa, Shakib lifted the ball over the long-off area, and Ashton Agar took an easy catch. After Shakib’s dismissal, Afif Hossain came in and scored 19 off 13 balls with one four and one six. But once again, Afif failed to continue on a good run what he did in the second match of the series. He dismissed run-out in this match.  Shamim Hossain, Nurul Hasan Sohan and Mahedi Hasan also failed to do well with the bat.  For Australia, Nathan Ellis took three wickets while Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa took two wickets each. The fourth and fifth matches of the series will take place on August 7 and nine at the same venue. Read:BAN vs. AUS 2021: Bangladesh Aim to Wrap Up T20I Series Against Autralia  

The 26-year-old Australian fast-bowler, Nathan Ellis, created history against Bangladesh Friday in the third T20 by registering the first-ever T20 hat-trick by a debutant. In the last over of the first innings of the match, Nathan removed Mahmudullah Riyad, Mustafizur Rahman and Mahedi Hasan off three consecutive deliveries. It was the third hat-trick in T20 by an Australian bowler. Riding on his hat-trick and some superb efforts by the other bowlers, Australia managed to restrict Bangladesh to 127/9 in 20 overs at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. Mahmudullah top-scored with 52 off 53 balls. Read: Bangladesh bat first in 3rd T20 against Australia Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat first but had to settle for a small total as the openers failed to lay a good foundation. Mohammad Naim fell to Josh Hazlewood for one and Soumya Sarkar to Zampa for two.  In the third wicket stand, Mahmudullah and Shakib Al Hasan added 44 of 36 balls. However, Shakib fell to Zampa in the first ball of the ninth over as he started to accelerate his innings. Read: Bangladesh vs Australia: Rain delays start of 3rd T20 After the all-rounder's dismissal, Afif Hossain came to the middle and added 19 off 13 balls with one four and one six before being run out. Also, Shamim Hossain, Nurul Hasan Sohan and Mahedi Hasan failed to do well with the bat. For Australia, Nathan Ellis took three wickets; Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa grabbed two wickets each.

Rain delayed the toss and start of the third T20 of the five-match series between Bangladesh and Australia Friday. The toss was scheduled to take place at 5:30pm, but the weather ensured that the pitch at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium was covered and the toss was delayed. Bangladesh won the first two matches of the series. So, the third match is a chance for the Tigers to seal the series with two matches to spare. Read: BAN vs. AUS 2021: Bangladesh Aim to Wrap Up T20I Series Against Australia In both the matches, Bangladeshi bowlers were superb. Mustafizur Rahman and Shoriful Islam troubled the visitors along with the spinners. So far, Mustafizur has taken five wickets in this series – the highest for any bowlers of both teams. Read: Afif, Sohan power Bangladesh to 2nd win vs Australia Before this series, Bangladesh faced Australia four times in the shorter format of international cricket but failed to win any match. The Tigers' wait came to an end on August 3 when Nasum Ahmed bagged four wickets and guided his team to a 23-run win.

Bangladesh beat Australia in the second T20I by five wickets on Wednesday, the hosts’ back-to-back win in the series at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium with eight balls to play. With this win, Bangladesh took 2-0 lead in the five-match T20I series. To chase down the target of 122 runs, Bangladesh needed 32 runs in the last five overs. Afif Hossain and Nurul Hasan Sohan finished the job in style. Afif hit Josh Hazlewood for a four off the fourth ball of the 19th over and sealed the game. The left-handed batsman remained unbeaten on 37 off 31 balls hitting five fours and one six, while Sohan was also unbeaten on 22 off 21 balls. In the sixth wicket stand, they added 56 runs off 44 balls. Bangladesh suffered early setback as they lost both the openers inside the first two overs of the match. Soumya Sarkar disappointed once again with the bat, and Mohammad Naim couldn’t settle in. Read: PM congratulates Tigers on back-to-back win over Aussies While Mitchell Starc removed Soumya, Josh Hazlewood took the wicket of Naim. In the third-wicket stand, Shakib Al Hasan and Mahedi Hasan added 37 runs off 32 balls. They somewhat managed to control the early damage. But Shakib went out during the ninth over scoring 26 off 17 balls, and right after him Mahmudullah Riyad fell for a duck in the next over. Back to back wickets pushed the hosts into trouble which deepened when Mahedi fell for 23 off 24 balls. At the end of 15 overs, Bangladesh were batting at 90 for five with Nurul Hasan Sohan and Afif Hossain  batting on 9 and 20 respectively. This pair has eventually guided the Tigers home. Earlier, Australia have won the toss and opted to bat first in this match. Both the teams fielded an unchanged playing XI each. Like the first match, Mahedi Hasan broke the first-wicket stand of the tourists removing Alex Carey. The delivery looked a simple one, but Alex miscued it and skied the ball. It was a regulation catch for Nasum Ahmed. Mustafizur got his first reward persisting with slow deliveries when Josh Philippe failed to pick the line correctly and lost his leg-stump. Philippe was fragile in the first match and this time, he also failed with the bat. Read: Tigers create history winning first T20I v mighty Australia Inside the power play, Australia scored 32 losing two wickets. In the next nine overs, they added 58 runs losing only one more wicket. But they never looked comfortable against the Tigers’ bowling lineup. In the last five overs, Australia only managed 31 runs losing four wickets, with Mustafizur’s two wickets in two balls during the 18th over. Bangladesh have won the first match by 23 runs. Nasum Ahmed took four wickets after Bangladesh posted 131 runs, and helped the Tigers register their first win against Australia in T20Is. Mustafizur Rahman bagged three wickets for the hosts while Shorfiul Islam took two conceding 23 and 27 respectively. The remaining matches of the series will take place at the same venue on August 6, 7 and 9.

Bangladesh beat Australia in the first T20I of the five-match series by 23 runs on Tuesday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. It was Bangladesh’s first victory over Australia in the T20I format. Before this game, Bangladesh played four matches against the Aussies but failed to win any of them. Australia won the toss and sent Bangladesh bat first, who have posted 131 for six in 20 overs. In reply, Australia tumbled for 108/10 in 20 overs. Nasum Ahmed, the left-arm spinner, bagged four wickets conceding 19 runs in four overs-- his career-best-- while Mustafizur Rahman and Shoriful Islam took two wickets each. Bangladesh made a good start while bowling. They have taken three quick wickets to put immense pressure on the tourists. Read: Bangladesh post 131 in first T20I vs Australia Off the first ball of the innings, Mahedi Hasan removed Alex Carey for a golden duck. In the next over, Nasum Ahmed removed Josh Philippe for nine off five balls. It was a great stumping effort by Nurul Hasan Sohan. Being stumped in this innings, Phillippe became the first Australian man cricketer to get stumped in the T2OIs. Earlier, Mohammad Naim and Soumya Sarkar opened the innings for the hosts. Bangladesh lost the first wickets in the fourth over when Josh Hazlewood removed Soumay in a rear fashion. The ball was outside off-stump, and Soumya went to play a late cut, but he only managed an edge to the stumps. Naim fell for 30 off 29 balls with two fours and two sixes. He started well hitting Mitchell Starc for a six off the second ball of the innings. But the left-hander couldn’t continue to do well. Bangladesh got their biggest partnership at the third wicket stand when Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah Riyad added 36 runs. Read: Australia opt to bowl in first T20I Mahmudullah was struggling at the wicket which seemingly created pressure on the Bangladesh captain, and he tried to play too many shots. Right after hitting a six, Mahmudullah fell prey to Hazlewood as Moises Henriques took a superb catch. Afif Hossain scored 23 off 17 and helped the Tigers passed the 130-run mark. Bangladesh eventually ended up on 131 for six in 20 overs. For Australia, Josh Hazlewood bagged three wickets conceding 24 runs while Mitchell Starc took two. The second match of the series will take place on August 4 while the other matches will take place on August 6, 7 and nine.
