Australia vs Bangladesh, Cricket World Cup 2023: Match Preview, Prediction, Head-To-Head, Pitch And Weather Reports, Fantasy Tips

Australia will be up against Bangladesh in Match 43 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on November 11 at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, India. The match commences at 10:30 AM IST. After a forgettable start to the tournament, Australia showcased why they are a powerhouse in world cricket. They registered six consecutive wins to make it to the semi-finals, where they are set to face South Africa in what will be a repeat of the iconic 1999 World Cup semi-final.

Australia were in a spot of bother against Afghanistan in their last match, when they were reduced to 91/7 while chasing 293 runs. However, a generational knock from Glenn Maxwell, which saw him remain unbeaten on 201, powered the five-time champions of the tournament to an unforgettable win by three wickets.

As for Bangladesh, the tournament was pretty forgettable, having lost six matches in eight and they were the first team to confirm their elimination. They registered a morale-boosting win against Sri Lanka in their last match, which raises their chances of making it to the Champions Trophy 2025, but the chances still remain slim.

Bangladesh will be without Shakib Al Hasan, who has been ruled out due to a finger injury. They do have some other quality options in the bowling attack to compensate for his absence, but the batting department is where the Tigers have struggled throughout the tournament.

Pitch report

The average score in the first innings in the last 10 matches at the venue is 305.

Weather report

The temperature at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium is predicted to be 29.7C and 46 per cent humidity.
