Check out the details for the 44th game of the T20 World Cup between Australia and Bangladesh, to be played in Antigua on June 20.
Preview
Australia and Bangladesh will face off in the first round of matches in Group 1 of the Super-8 stages of the T20 World Cup 2024. Both sides have advanced to the next stage of the tournament despite varied results.
Australia (AUS) won all their matches in the group stages and has looked to be one of the best teams in the tournament. The former T20 World Cup winners will look to start on a bright note and look to dominate the Bangladeshi team with their explosive players in their team.
Bangladesh (BAN) began their tournament with a close win against Sri Lanka before losing to South Africa. The controversial decision during the match meant that the Proteas took home all the points. Bangladesh, though, bounced back with wins over the Netherlands and Nepal to make it to the Super-8 stages as the second-placed team in Group D.

Pitch Report
The Antigua surface will help the fast bowlers, and it will be easy to bowl first to whichever captain wins the toss. It will be a low-scoring venue, and with the conditions likely to aid the pacers, one can be sure the Australians will be licking their lips to bowl at this venue.
Captains
Australian spinner Adam Zampa will be the biggest threat for the Bangladeshi side with his spin bowling. The Aussie leggie has been picking wickets consistently and will be looking to put the opposition under pressure early with the ball.
Young Tanzim Hasan Sakib was the best bowler in the game versus Nepal . In his four overs he gave away just 7 runs and picked 4 wickets to rattle the Nepal batting unit and he will be a dangerous bowler under lights against a formidable Aussie batting unit.
Top
Veteran Australia star David Warner has been in good nick with the bat and he will want to keep his form going if he wants to end his career on a high. Warner has been scoring runs at a quick pace and putting the opposition under pressure in the early overs.
Former skipper Shakib Al hasan has found his groove again and has been batting beautifully. His half-century against Netherlands and his 17 versus Nepal was the top score for Bangladesh. The Tigers will hope Shakib find yet another game changing performance when they face the Aussies.
Budget
The Australian all-rounder played a crucial knock against Scotland just like the first match against Oman. The 34-year-old has been a huge asset with the bat and ball for his side during the tournament.
Bangladeshi pacer Mustafizur Rahman has been at the top of his game in the last few months. His wicket-maiden in the 19th over against Nepal swung the game towards Bangladesh and eventually helped them win the game.
