Australia were firmly on course in their chase, cruising to 83-1 in 16 overs before rain swept in. On a windy day in overcast conditions, Australia put Bangladesh top order to the sword before Mitchell Starc (4-29) snuffed out the lower order with four wickets in nine balls. After Mashrafe Bin Mortaza decided to bat first in the must-win game, Bangladesh top order crumbled early in the innings. Bangladesh and New Zealand, on the other hand, each have a point and Bangladesh must beat New Zealand in their last game on Friday to keep alive their hopes. The Black Caps, however, will go through if they beat both England and Bangladesh in their remaining matches.
