Having sealed their spot in the semi-final, a dominant Australia team will look to continue their rampaging run when they face a Shakib Al Hasan-less Bangladesh in their final Round Robin fixture before the knockout stage of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Saturday. The five-time champions are fresh from their three-wicket win over Afghanistan wherein the match will be remembered for one of the most greatest ODI innings ever played by Glenn Maxwell.

The all-rounder battled cramps to smash an unbeaten 201 off 128 balls to lift Australia from a precarious 91 for seven to the victory target of 292 against Afghanistan. With the semi-final to look forward to, Pat Cummins-led side might want to test their bench strength against a under-cooked Bangladesh who have had a dissapointing World Cup so far.
Bangladesh have just about managed to keep their 2025 Champions Trophy qualification hopes alive with a three-wicket win over Sri Lanka in an ill-tempered game which was overshadowed by the contentious 'timed-out' dismissal of Angelo Mathews. Skipper Shakib was the top performer in their last match as he snapped two wickets, ignited the spirit of cricket debate by appealing against Mathews and then scored a 65-ball 82 to earn Bangladesh's second win in the tournament. However, he has been ruled out of the their last game with a fractured left index finger, leaving Bangladesh's bowling depleted. Anamul Haque has been called up for the final match.
