Australia captain, Aaron Finch

(On having butterflies) Absolutely. Every time they get a partnership going and with the experience in their side it was always tough. Having the experience of opening in the World Cup before it adds as a huge advantage. Few of the changes were forced. The spinner was left out as well for a few games.When you lose your all-rounder for couple of games you have to scarifice few areas. Having good partnerships with bat and ball is important. Very sloppy wasn't it. We pride oursleves in our fielding, it was pretty poor. Not yet thinking about semis. Hopefully, we will secure a place in the top fourIt is nice to pick couple of boundaries early. The wicket was pretty nice to bat on to be honest.

Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza:

Yeah, I think that we gave away a lot of runs in the field, so this chase could have been a completely different story. The credit goes to David Warner and all the Australians for their batting. When we batted, Tamim and Mushfiqur did so well.

This is probably the best Bangladesh side that we’ve had. There are a lot of youngsters coming through, so I think we can be a lot better, but for the moment I think we’re the best side.

To be honest, we are trying to be positive. From the first ball, we thought we needed a good partnership in the top order, and maybe it could happen. Soumya Sarkar got out early, and then Tamim managed to go on for a bit, but 381 was always too much.

We have to win every match now and wait to see what the others do, but you never know.

David Warner: Great achievment (on equalling Adam Gilchrist's hundred tally). For us it us about to get these two points and move to Lord's. I think you always keep wickets in hand especially in ODI cricket. You have to respect the new ball. You have to adapt to the conditions. It (the wicket) was a tad slow. But it was a grind for the bowlers, wasn't easy to get wickets.  If you get off to a flier, you go ahead with the momentum you have.Credit to bowlers, they bowled well in patches. I was open to whatever I was offered, you have to adapt to the conditions. So far things are working well. Credit to the way Bangladesh fought. Mushfiqur played a fantastic innings.

Bangladesh did their very best, but it just wasn't enough

This is Bangladesh's highest ever ODI total. Their previous highest total was 330/6 against South Africa at The Oval on June 02, 2019.

CENTURY! It might have come in a losing cause but he and the Bangladesh supporters can be mighty proud of Mushfiqur Rahim's excellent hundred. It his 7th ton in ODI cricket and he has worked really hard for him. The Bangladesh fan made a loud cheer to celebrate his efforts.

Australia vs Bangladesh LIVE SCORE, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Match Updates: Stoinis with the last rites. Mortaza hits a boundary before he is caught off the final ball of the innings as Australia collect two valuable points and continue their march towards securing a semi-final berth. Bangladesh's spirited fight falls short by 48 runs.

Props to Mushfiqur Rahim for a valiant century.Preview: Australia will look to take a step further towards reaching the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 semi-finals when they take on Bangladesh in Match 26 of the tournament.

While Australia’s only loss remains in their match against India earlier in the tournament, Shakib Al Hasan inspired Bangladesh to a record-chase against West Indies in their last match courtesy a century. That win came as a confidence-booster and has given the Tigers some hope to further progress in the tournament.

After all-rounder Marcus Stoinis' injury, the Australian side are facing major challenges in choosing their playing XI as assistant coach Brad Haddin said that they are still finding their best.

Stoinis picked a left side strain while bowling during his team's match against India on 9 June. Keeping the seriousness of the injury in mind, the team has called Mitch Marsh to London, who will join the squad as cover.

Haddin further added that they are making sure that each and every player is ready to deliver whenever the team needs.

Haddin also backed Usman Khawaja, who has not been able to leave a mark on the field so far, saying that he has been in a role where there are lesser opportunities.
