Australia seized the initiative in their key Champions Trophy game, bowling out Bangladesh for just 182 in 44.3 overs. Tamim Iqbal‘s 95 was the only solace for Bangladesh with the opener falling just short of scoring back-to-back hundreds for the second time in two years. But there was virtually no support from the rest of the batting line-up as only Shakib Al Hasan and Mehedi Hasan reached double figures. It had started to rain, though, towards the end of the Bangladesh innings and when the players walked off for the innings break.
Mitchell Starc finished with four wickets — three of which came in the 43rd over – including that of Tamim whose dinky pull took a top-edge and was easily caught at fine leg. Mashrafe Mortaza and Rubel Hossain fell off consecutive deliveries but Starc could not hit the stumps when he was on a hat-trick as Mustafizur Rahman somehow survived the full ball that narrowly missed off stump.
