2.17pm Innings break Bangladesh post 306 for 8 from their 50 overs. It was a good team batting display but they probably left a few out there as a lot of players got starts and didn't go on. Towhid Hridoy played well for his 74 but six other players got to 20 and no one else made 50. Adam Zampa was superb again with the ball but Marnus Labuschagne's run outs were arguably the most crucial. Labuschagne: "It's about awareness. Where you need to be and early speed to the ball and hopefully getting those throws on target. In the chase it will be about intent up top and then finishing the game off in the middle to late overs."

Australia will need to produce their highest ever World Cup run chase without the hero from the last game in Glenn Maxwell who made 201 of the previous highest chase of 292. Australia has chased more than 300 in an ODI only once in the last four years and that was in 2020 and it was thanks to centuries from Maxwell and Alex Carey. Neither of them are playing. Bangladesh are in a great position here to shore up their Champions Trophy qualification with a win, although they have virtually already done it.

Sampath Bandarupalli: Australia need to chase 307 in 17.2 overs to finish ahead of South Africa. And in 22.4 overs to push Bangladesh's NRR below Sri Lanka's.

Shashwat will return for the chase.
