With nothing to play for but salvaging pride and some honour, Australia and bangladesh face-off in this inconsequential Group 1 encounter of the ICC World T20 2014. It is also the second last match of the group stages.
Though both Australia and Bangladesh are out of the reckoning for a spot in the semi-finals, still this dead rubber may give them both one last opportunity to bow out of the tournament with a high. Australia had suffered a thumping 73 run defeat to India in their last group match whereas the home side themselves had collapsed to a 50-run defeat to Pakistan thus bringing to an end a sorry tournament for Mushfiqur Rahim’s side.
Australia had come on the back two great series wins against England and South Africa into the ICC World T20 2014, but have failed to live up to the expectations.

Australia who have looked in woeful form throughout the tournament have the sole positive of Glen Maxwell who looked in pristine touch against India and will be banking on each and every member to contribute against the home side.
Bangladesh on the other hand have the good form of Shakib-al-Hasan to cheer something about and will hope that the all-rounder will deliver the goods against George Bailey’s side.
