Bangladesh vs Australia: Bangladesh has scored 104 Runs for 6 Wickets

Bangladeshi innings has just finished now.

The match has been reduced to 22 overs because of delay of rain. Australia won the toss and put Bangladesh in batting. Bangladeshi batsmen could not bat well from the beginning of their innings. Glenn McGrath caused havoc and wiped out the top order of Bangladeshi batting. Saqibul Hasan and Habibul Bashar (captain) could offer any resistance. Towards the end Mashrafe Mortaza scored some quick runs. Mashrafe Mortaza is turning into a good all rounder gradually.

Glenn McGrath was surely the star bowler for Australia. He took 3 wickets for 16 runs from 5 overs.

I would have love to see Bangladesh scoring 130+ runs as it would give them a fighting chance against Australia. Well, I have to sadly admit that I am not so hopeful about the prospect of Bangladesh in this match. However, cricket is a game of glorious uncertainty.
