Australia vs Bangladesh
Super 8, Match 5, AUS vs BAN: Australia beat Bangladesh by 10 wickets
Mar 31, 2007
Australia won the match against Bangladesh by 10 wickets at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in St Johns Antigua on Saturday. It took Australia only 13.5 overs to conquer the target of 104 runs.
This match saw Glenn McGrath overcome Wasim Akrams record of maximum number of wickets in the World Cup. With this match McGrath claimed 57 wickets where previous best was 55 wickets held by Wasim Akram. Bangladesh looked all but inspiring in this match. The aimless batting order crumbled, as none of the players were able to stay on the crease for a long time. With this win Australia continued its successful win record in the World Cups.
Coming into chase the paltry score of 104 runs, Australian opener Adam Gilchrist hammered a swashbuckling fifty. His fifty came in 40 balls. This was his 50th one day international fifty. The other opener Matthew Hayden, who is in great form, provided some fireworks from the other side. The pace of the runs flurry was evident as Australia went past the score of 50 runs in less than 6 overs. Australians eventually won the match with more than 8 overs to spare and 10 wickets in hand. Reported Earlier: Australian captain Ricky Ponting won the toss and elected to bat against Bangladesh at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. The game was reduced to 22 overs following overnight rain.
Australia have swept aside their four opponents in the tournament so far and look set to add momentum to their bid for an unprecedented title hat-trick against a side ranked ninth in the one-day international rankings. Australia team: A Gilchrist (Wicket Keeper), M Hayden, R Ponting (c), M Clarke, A Symonds, M Hussey, S Watson, B Hogg, N Bracken, S Tait, G McGrath
Bangladesh team: T Iqbal, S Nafees, M Rahim (Wicket Keeper), A Ahmed, S Hasan, H Bashar (c), M Ashraful, M Rafique, M Mortaza, A Razzak, S Rasel

Super 8, Match 5, AUS vs BAN: Bangladesh make super eight debut against Australia
Mar 31, 2007
Defending champions Australia will look to extend their 4-match winning streak in the World Cup against Bangladesh in their second Super 8 encounter in Antigua on Saturday.
Australia have already beaten West Indies by 103 runs in their first Super Eight tie while Bangladesh make their first appearance in the second stage of the World Cup. Veteran Australian seamer Glenn McGrath goes into the game just one wicket short of Pakistan paceman Wasim Akram's World Cup record of 55 wickets.
Although Australia seem invincible at the moment they must be wary of the fact that Bangladesh had beaten them in 2005 in Cardiff in a tri-series in England just before Ponting had lost the Ashes series. Australia team (from): Adam Gilchrist (Wicket Keeper), Matthew Hayden, Ricky Ponting (Captain), Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Michael Hussey, Shane Watson, Brad Hogg, Nathan Bracken, Shaun Tait, Glenn McGrath.
Bangladesh team (from): Habibul Bashar (Captain), Mohammad Ashraful, Aftab Ahmed, Tapash Baisya, Saqibal Hasan, Shahadat Hossain, Tamim Iqbal, Mashrafe Mortaza, Javed Omar, Shahriar Nafees, Mohammad Rafique, Mushfiqur Rahim (Wicket Keeper), Syed Rasal, Abdur Razzak, Rajin Saleh.
