AUS vs BAN Highlights of T20 World Cup 2021 Match 34: Australia Clinch Dominant Win Over Bangladesh

It's all over! Australia have won a dominant match against Bangladesh here. Mitchell Marsh hit a six to finish off the game as they now go up to the second spot on the Group 1 points table. The target was not much to chase down and Australia did it with 82 balls to spare. Australia increase their chances of semifinal qualification while Bangladesh go back home, having lost all their matches in the Super 12 stage. Lots to reflect on for Bangladesh while Australians have something to cheer about after a defeat against England.

OUT! David Warner goes and Shoriful Islam is the bowler to get success here. Warner tried to hit a big one and he missed it, with the ball rattling the woodwork. 

OUT! Bangladesh have a wicket and it is that of the Aussie captain Aaron Finch, who was really looking to end this match soon. Having been hit for few boundaries, Ahmed finally got his man, hitting the off-stump with Finch missing the delivery. But it is too late for Bangladesh.

Australia are getting a real move on here and the boundaries are coming thick and fast. Bangladesh have been poor on the field and Australians have pounced on the opportunity to score runs at a very good pace. If the match goes in this way, Australia would win very very soon.

Australia seem to be in a hurry and their captain Aaron Finch is looking dangerous. He hit one four and a six to score 12 runs off this over by Mustafizur Rahman. They want to get to this total as soon as possible to topple South Africa's net run rate.

Australia are underway with the chase and it was a slightly nervy start. Taskin Ahmed bowled nicely but Bangladesh have to field well and stop the extra runs if they have any chance of winning this tie.

OUT! A five-wicket haul and Adam Zampa has put an end to the Bangladesh innings here! Aaron Finch took a simple catch in the slips and they are once again bowled out for less than 100 runs. Australia need 74 runs and they would aim to get them as quickly as possible to improve their net run rate.

OUT! Captain Mahmudullah falls and Mitchell Starc is the man behind the dismissal. The ball took a slight edge with Starc coming round the wicket and Matthew Wade took a good catch. 

OUT! Adam Zampa is in a hurry here! He has his second wicket of the over as after dismissing Shamim, he has now sent back Mahedi Hasan! Australia are planning to wrap this up as soon as possible and Bangladesh are falling apart here.

For a brief period of time, Bangladesh have not lost a wicket and Mahmudullah along with Shamim Hossain, would aim to continue in the same manner. Australia have clearly dominated so far by taking five wickets but Bangladesh are still in the fight. 10 overs to go in this innings!

After eight overs, Bangladesh have managed to lose five wickets but now with skipper Mahmudullah Riyad and Shamim Hossain at the crease, they would aim to score some runs to take the total to  a decent one.

OUT! Adam Zampa gets into the act and has a wicket with his very first delivery! Afif Hossain edges one to slip and captain Aaron Finch grabs a simple catch. Bangladesh are all over the place now and Australia are looking strong to skittle Mahmudullah's side for less than 100 runs.

OUT! Josh Hazlewood has another wicket, this time it is Naim Sheikh, who looked good for his 17 runs. Just when he was starting to score some runs, he tried to pull a ball off the front foot and gave Pat Cummins an easy catch. Australia are firmly on top now. 

OUT! What is happening here! Glenn Maxwell has struck as he trapped Mushfiqur Rahim right in front of the stumps! The ball was a straight one and Rahim missed it completely. Australia are on fire here and Bangladesh are falling apart. 

OUT! Soumya Sarkar gone! What a start for Australia! First Mitchell Marsh and now Josh Hazlewood who has struck. The ball once again took an inside edge and Soumya Sarkar knocked it back onto his stumps. 

OUT! Timberrrr! Mitchell Starc strikes in his very first over as an inside edge off Litton Das' bat crashes the stumps behind. Australians are on fire at the start of this match. The deadly left-arm seamer shows why he is so good at what he does!
