Australia were way ahead of the par score and as the match could not take place, they were announced as the winners under the DLS method. David Warner for Australia was looking in good touch but Bangladesh bowler Rishad Hossain was looking to make a comeback.

The opening pair of David Warner and Travis Head is off to a good start as they have scored a decent amount of boundaries inside the powerplay. It will get tough for Bangladesh to defend their total if they don't start taking some wickets.

The bowlers of Australia performed very well as they restricted Bangladesh in time. With keeping wickets in hand and a consistent scoring rate it should be an easy chase for the Australian batting order.

Hat Trick! Pat Cummins came up with a beauty of a delivery to dismiss set batsman Towhid Hridoy and complete his hat trick. He becomes only the second player from Australia to take a hat trick in T20 World Cups and seventh overall. Towhid Hridoy c Josh Hazlewood b Pat Cummins 40 (28)
