ICC Men's Twenty20 World Cup, Super 8s, Antigua
Bangladesh 140-8 (20 overs): Shanto 41 (36); Cummins 3-29
Australia 100-2 (11.2 overs): Warner 53* (35); Rishad 2-23
Australia won by 28 runs (DLS)
Pat Cummins claimed a hat-trick and David Warner thrashed a quick-fire 53 not out as Australia beat Bangladesh by 28 runs in a weather-disrupted T20 World Cup Super Eight clash in Antigua on Thursday (Jun 20).
Australia, who are bidding to complete a historic treble of World Test Championship, ODI World Cup and T20 World Cup titles, were awarded the victory under the Duckworth-Lewis formula after motoring to 100-2 off 11.2 overs when rain stopped play.
Earlier, Australia had held Bangladesh to 140-8 off their 20 overs at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound.
Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto top-scored for Bangladesh with 41 before falling to Adam Zampa, who impressed again in taking 2-24, while Hridoy's 40 from 28 balls gave the Tigers' total a boost.
However, they were a long way short of a competitive total and the Australia openers quickly broke the back of the chase with a stand of 65.
Leg-spinner Rishad Hossain took two quick wickets following a brief rain delay to give Bangladesh hope but Warner had extinguished that by the time a further downpour arrived to end the game.
