Commentary

Alright then. Australia march on to keep their tournament semi-final hopes alive in the tournament. As for Bangladesh, it's been a T20 World Cup campaign to forget for the Tigers. Now, Australia will keenly be watching today's second game as the West Indies take on Sri Lanka. Of course, the Aussies will be out supporting their arch-rivals England, when they take on South Africa. West Indies is next for them and that rivalry can get real feisty in T20Is, as we've seen before. A lot to look forward to as we head into the business end of the tournament, but that's all we have for now. Courtesy of this battering by Australia, Pradeep and myself have got an early off. We'll go and get our festivities kicked off, while we hope you all do the same. Stay tuned to the Sportskeeda for the second game of the day though. This is Pratyush Rohra signing off on behalf of my partner, Pradeep Somashekar. Wishing you all a happy and safe Diwali! See ya!

Aaron Finch (Australian captain): It was nice to bounce back. A really clinical performance from the bowlers. Starc up front and Hazlewood really set the tone for us. We thought we would take the opportunity to win big if we got the chance, but you can't plan for that. At the halfway mark, we knew we had to chase it down in 8.1 overs to overtake South Africa. When you have that opportunity, you have to take it. Starc is getting back to his best. We saw some swing in the first over. When he's back to his best, that happens early. Zampa's 5 for 19 was outstanding. (Whether he will support England for their game against South Africa) Don't know if we ever are! *laughs*. We have to play well against West Indies. We have a couple of days to recharge and then a couple of days to practice. The four-day break came at the right time for us after the thumping we had.

Mahmudullah (Bangladesh captain): When you have this sort of performance, it's hard to say things. There are a lot of areas that need a lot of work, especially with our batting. The wicket was one of the best we've played on but we have a lot of work to do when we go back. You have to have a good powerplay in T20s. We don't have power-hitters in our team and that's where we need to do well in the powerplay but that didn't happen for us in this tournament, so we failed to carry the momentum. Before coming into this World Cup, we had to get some wins under our belt. As a professional, I feel you have to adapt to any conditions. But we have lacked awareness as a unit, and we have to pick up on that. If you see, in the Super 12s, we came close to closing two games against Sri Lanka and West Indies. Other than that, we have been outplayed by the opposition. I hope the supporters keep supporting us.

Adam Zampa has been adjudged the Man of the Match for his stunning spell with a five-for [4-0-19-5]!

Zampa talking to Mike Atherton at the presentation says, first five-for is always a nice feeling, been playing for five or six years now that one's a eluded me for a while, it's a nice feeling. About drop catch which would've got him the hat-trick he says, "I think it was three overs between that wicket and the next ball, I don't know if anyone was mindful about it, I thought I was the only that knew about it (chuckles) but if it wasn't for Wadies hands I wouldn't have picked as many wickets as I have been getting so he's been keeping beautifully well, tough catch, just happy with the win to be honest".

Talking about the condition he says, "It's a bit of both to be honest, the quicks have been particular tough to score off in the powerplay, guys like Maxwell doing a very good job for us, they're trying to be more attacking in the powerplay which gives us the chance to take the wickets, we've seen that throughout the tournament as well so there's a really good wrist spinners behind me as well, Adil Rashid from England is one such example but they always come hard at us".

I feel like teams are coming even harder through the middle overs, so a lot of wicket taking opportunities. It does change by role a little bit but it's don't feel any added pressure when Ash plays but job still remains to pick wickets in the middle overs and nothing really changes. Sometimes you bowl powerplay, sometimes you bowl backend, it's all about taking wickets all the time, we're trying to be really aggressive.

Australia won by 8 wickets (with 82 balls remaining)

Right then. Australia edge ahead of South Africa as they chase this target down well within the required permutations. Bangladesh on the other hand ends the Super 12s without a single victory. They would have wanted to play for their pride today but they've been rather conveniently brushed aside by the Aussies. It will be a huge disappointment for the Bangladesh fans with the team not delivering after the promise they showed in the lead-up to the T20 World Cup. Back to the drawing board for them with their batting and fielding department some serious work if they are to deliver on the promise they show.

As for Australia, they live to fight another day. Finch made light work of this run chase while Mitch Marsh showed glimpses of why several people have been calling out for him. The bowling unit looks as formidable as ever with all departments covered as the four main bowlers can operate at any stage of the game. Zampa, Starc, Hazlewood and Cummins were all spot on this afternoon, while Maxwell chipped in with the ball as well. Australia bag the comprehensive win they desired in their remaining games. Now, they'll hope that the other results go their way. Australia's NRR up to 1.03 now, as compared to South Africa's 0.74, as the Aussies move into second place. Stick around for the presentations.

Mitchell Marsh finishes it off in some style! The Australians have cruised to victory within seven overs and have held their end of the bargain. They've made this look like a cakewalk this afternoon and given us an early off in the festive season as well. That will be that then. Australia won by 8 wickets (with 82 balls remaining).

7.0

6.2 Taskin Ahmed to Mitchell Marsh, SIX! GAME, SET AND MATCH! Australia thump Bangladesh and chased the target in just 6.2 overs! Short delivery on the off-stump and Marsh on the backfoot swivels and DISPATCHES it with DISDAIN over deep mid-wicket as that goes into the second tier for a ginormous maximum!

6.2 Taskin Ahmed to Mitchell Marsh, WIDE! Short delivery, dug into the track and goes way over Marsh's head on the outside off and Das had to time his jump to collect it as Dharmasena signals that a wide.

6.1 Taskin Ahmed to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! BRUTAL! Back of a length on the outside off as Marsh on the backfoot thrashes it well over the mid-off fielder who times his jump to get a hand to it but it went like a bullet to the fence. JEEZ!

Glenn Maxwell, right-hand bat, comes to the crease

Shoriful Islam has something to show in his wickets column at the end of the T20 World Cup. Warner departs as he tried to finish it off in style. Taskin's going to bowl out.

5.6 Shoriful Islam to David Warner, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Warner goes for a big shot and gifts his wicket too as Australia lose their second wicket. Back of a length on the middle and off as Warner backs away to make room, has a big swing at it but misses, goes through to rattle the stumps.
David Warner b Shoriful Islam 18 (14b 3x4 0x6)

5.5 Shoriful Islam to Mitchell Marsh, back of a length on the off-stump as Marsh on the backfoot punches it around the cover region to take a sharp single.

5.4 Shoriful Islam to David Warnerh, comes up with a yorker on the off-stump and Warner comes forward to hoick but mistimes it down to mid-on to take a sharp single.

Oh, dear. That's a big no-ball. Will Shoriful pay the price?

5.4 Shoriful Islam to David Warner, short on the outside off as Warner on the backfoot looking to pull that one away but doesn't time that well, goes straight to mid-wicket fielder but wait, Shoriful has overstepped and Umpire calls that a NO-BALL! FREE-HIT COMING UP!

5.3 Shoriful Islam to David Warner, back of a length on the middle and off as Marsh on the backfoot defends it into the off-side and scampers across for a quick single.
