Australia advanced with a perfect record and will look to maintain their run as the second stage of their tournament gets under way at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
The left-handed Shanto brought up Bangladesh’s 50 with a slice over wicketkeeper Matthew Wade from a Marcus Stoinis short ball in his first over, which cost 10 runs.Adam Zampa was brought on after six overs in response to Bangladesh lifting their run rate, but his second ball was pulled to the boundary in an over that conceded eight runs including a leg bye.It took Litton Das 15 balls to score his first boundary, pulling a shortish ball from Mitchell Starc over mid-wicket to move to six.
The secret is good bounce in the pitches compared to others in the region, which can be low, slow turners. Former West Indian paceman turned commentator Ian Bishop describes this pitch as providing the fairest contest in the West Indies between bat and ball.Australia have won the toss and will bowl in their opening Super Eight match against Bangladesh in Antigua. Pace pair Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood return from a rest to replace Ashton Agar and Nathan Ellis from the side that beat Scotland.The toss for Australia versus Bangladesh has been delayed because of rain.
