Bangladesh are looking for their first win in the current tournament. He did some good in his previous games but failed to cross the line. Before leaving the UAE, he would like to bring some numbers in front of his name in the tally. Without Shakib Al Hasan, the Men in Yellow could be a tough task to beat.
Australia, on the other hand, need to win the game by a huge margin not only to get two points but also to improve their run rate and overtake second-ranked South Africa. It is a win-win scenario for the Aussies if they want to stay alive in the race for the semi-finals.

Aaron Finch & Co had a tough time in their last match against old rivals England. After being made to bat first, the Australian batting order collapsed against a mighty English attack, bundled out for 125. Apart from Finch, no other batsman could score runs to help the team post a challenging total. In reply, Eoin Morgan and his team won the match by 8 wickets.
Going ahead in the tournament, the Aussies need to do their best to thwart Bangladesh’s attack on Thursday. Looking at the Group 1 selection scenario, they are not in a position to tolerate poor performance. So, a win with a better run rate is a must and they know it too.
