With
four
losses
in
as
many
games,
Bangladesh
are
out
of
the
tournament
but
Australia
remain
very
much
in
the
semifinals
race
after
two
wins
in
three
games.
The
Aaron
Finch-led
side
was
looking
a
formidable
unit
until
England
blew
the
arch-rivals
away,
exposing
their
vulnerabilities.
Finch
got
runs
against
England
but
the
top-order
has
been
inconsistent
and
he
and
David
Warner
will
be
looking
to
give
the
team
a
flying
start.
Questions
were
raised
when
left-arm
spinner
Ashton
Agar
replaced
Mitchell
Marsh
in
the
playing
eleven
against
England.
It
remains
to
be
seen
if
the
team
sticks
to
the
same
combination.
Glenn
Maxwell
has
also
not
set
the
tournament
on
fire
yet
and
the
team
will
be
relying
on
him.
Marcus
Stoinis
and
Matthew
Wade
will
have
to
provide
a
bagful
of
runs
in
the
last
five
overs.
Australia’s
high
profile
pace
attack
comprising
Pat
Cummins,
Josh
Hazlewood
and
Mitchell
Starc
was
put
to
sword
by
Jos
Buttler
but
they
will
be
expected
to
return
to
their
efficient
ways
against
Bangladesh.
Australia,
albeit
a
depleted
squad,
lost
a
T20
series
in
Bangladesh
earlier
this
year
and
they
will
also
be
looking
to
settle
scores
for
that.
Asked
about
the
defeat
in
Bangladesh,
Agar
said
the
conditions
were
very
different
there.
They
have
also
put
the
loss
to
England
behind
them
as
they
look
to
win
their
remaining
two
games.
“We
have
a
very
different
looking
side
(to
the
one
played
in
Bangladesh),
and
the
wickets
certainly
aren’t
playing
like
those
pitches
that
we
played
on
over
there.
“We’ll
see
what
happens,
I
guess.
We’ll
go
out
there
and
we’ll
try
and
put
our
best
foot
forward.
We
need
to
win,
and
the
guys
are
really
excited
to
play
and
really
want
to
win,
as
well.
It
should
be
a
good
game,”
said
Agar
in
the
pre-match
conference.
Bangladesh
will
have
to
play
out
of
their
skins
against
Australia
for
a
consolation.
Their
batting
has
let
them
down
through
out
the
tournament
and
they
can
only
go
up
from
the
84
all
out
against
South
Africa.
The
absence
of
injured
all-rounder
Shakib
Al
Hasan
has
also
disturbed
the
balance
of
the
side.
Against
South
Africa,
only
opener
Liton
Das
and
down
the
order
Mahedi
Hasan
put
up
a
semblance
of
fight
with
the
bat.
“We
haven’t
played
according
to
our
potential.
We
are
better
than
this,”
pacer
Taskin
Ahmed
said
about
his
team
after
its
ouster.
“We
lost
games
that
we
were
supposed
to
win.
Maybe
we
are
not
as
good
as
other
T20
sides,
but
even
then
we
didn’t
play
up
to
our
potential.
“I
think
we
could
have
played
better
than
this,”
he
opined.
Having
called
the
batting
effort
against
South
Africa
poor,
skipper
Mahmudullah
would
be
hoping
to
end
the
campaign
on
a
high.
