Defending champions Australia will clash against a Bangladesh side that showed West Indies the door towards an early World Cup exit two-nights ago. The match no 26 of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 between Australia and Bangladesh will be played at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on June 20 (Thursday). Bangladesh are beaming with confidence after marauding through West Indies to chase down their highest-ever total in World Cups history. They have also defeated South Africa in their first game and have five points from as many matches. But reigning title-holders Australia has been in better form and has won twice as many games as Bangladesh in CWC19. They will, however, do well to remember the famous 2005 match against the same opposition in Cardiff – a game that transcended Bangladesh to new heights in ODI cricket.

Pitch Report: Both World Cup 2019 matches held at Trent Bridge – England vs Pakistan and Australia vs West Indies – saw a dry surface with very little for the bowlers. While Pakistan won the first game chasing, Australia came from a losing position to beat West Indies having batted first. The match between India and New Zealand was also scheduled to be held at the same stadium but was abandoned due to torrential rainfall. The rain is expected to put a new life on the wicket and although the same pitch, in which the opening two games were played, will be used, the pitch is expected to behave slightly different. Australia vs Bangladesh Betting Odds: Free Bet Odds, Predictions and Favourites During AUS vs BAN in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Match 26.
