Bangladesh and Australia will lock horn today (Tuesday) in their last Group 2 match of the ICC World Twenty20 Cricket at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur. The match starts at 3.30 pm BST (Bangladesh Standard Time).
State-owned Bangladesh Television, private satellite channels Maasranga Television and G TV will telecast the match live from the stadium.
Before today’s match, Bangladesh and Australia faced each other in two Twenty20 International matches and Australia won in the two occasions.
Bangladesh lost to their opponents in their three Group B occasions, while their stronger opponents Australia failed to earn any win in their Group B campaign.
So, today’s match is nothing but a procedure of formalities. Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, the country’s best pacer has been ruled out from the last match of Bangladesh. Mashrafe got knee injury while he was playing against Pakistan on Sunday. Arafat Sunny will be the replacement of Mashrafe.
Bangladesh need a win against Australia which will not only consolation but also glorious.
Australia finish their campaign hoping to sign off on a winning note in today’s Group 2 match against hosts Bangladesh.
