ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Match Prediction 2023 | Match 43 | Australia vs Bangladesh – Will Bangladesh defeat cricketing powerhouse Australia? | Nov, 11
This match is the 43rd of the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup. Australia, who have won five times, will play Bangladesh in an attempt to gain momentum before the semifinals. In the previous match, Australia pulled off one of the most memorable victories against Afghanistan, pinching victory out of the jaws of loss. Before this match, Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka, however, they are not in the running for the next round.
Australia will be confident because they have won six straight games. In the previous game, they showed their never-say-die mentality, and the team will try to capitalize on this momentum. Bangladesh’s performance versus Australia is not good. They have only triumphed over them once, and that was back in 2005. It will be intriguing to watch if they can win this game unexpectedly.
Along with Travis Head, David Warner, who has batted well in this competition, will try to get off to a strong start in this match. The team will be counting on Josh Inglis, Mitchell Marsh, and Marnus Labuschagne to put in strong performances because the middle order struggled in the previous game. Maxwell, along with Marcus Stoinis and Pat Cummins, offers firepower to this batting lineup. He scored the finest ODI knock in years in the previous game.
Throughout this tournament, Australia’s bowling attack hasn’t been at its best. To get back into the swing of things, the team will need strong performances from Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc with the new ball. With Cummins, Adam Zampa, who has performed well, will try to bowl tight middle overs. This bowling attack gains power from Maxwell and Marsh.
Australia Squads
Australia
Pat Cummins (c), Josh Inglis (wk), David Warner, Steven Smith, Mitchell Marsh, Travis Head/Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Adam Zampa, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood.
Bangladesh
Due to their struggles at the top, Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan need to perform at their peak if they are to get off to a great start against Australia’s potent bowling attack. The middle order will be severely hampered by Shakib Al Hasan’s absence, and Mahmudullah, Najmul Hossain Shanto, and Mushfiqur Rahim will be needed to score runs. For the team to win, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Mahedi Hasan must score fast runs in the lower middle order.
The bowling of Bangladesh would want to take advantage of the vulnerabilities that the Australians have displayed at the top. Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam need to be efficient with the new ball and arrive early. Due to their extensive expertise, Mustafizur Rahman and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are expected to deliver a strong performance by the opposition. Australians have good hitters, therefore Mahedi Hasan, the fifth bowler, needs to put on a good show.

Once the dew settles in, bowling beneath the lights becomes difficult. In this game, the team that wins the toss will not think twice about bowling first and try to limit the opposition to a modest total.
On November 11, the skies over Pune will be cloudy.
It would be difficult to bat under these conditions, so batsmen would have to concentrate on rotating the strike and keeping the scoreboard moving. In these conditions, the team batting first will be pleased to have more than 300 runs on the board.
