In the match between Bangladesh and Australia, The Tigers, batting first, put 306 runs on the board, their highest total in this World Cup.

Once again, Australian bowling had to rely on Adam Zampa for wickets, as the wrist-spinner took a two-wicket haul and now has the most wickets (22) for Australia by a spinner in a single edition.

Other than Zampa, Australia also relied on Marnus Labuschagne’s fielding and produced two scintillating run-outs. Out of the two, one run-out that took over the internet was of Mahmudullah’s, where Marnus produced a Johnty Rhodes-like run-out.

During the 36th over of Bangladesh’s innings, Josh Hazlewood bowled a length ball which Towhid Hridoy hit towards cover and ran for a single. Labuschagne chased the ball and picked it up using one hand, and then produced an under-arm direct hit at the striker’s end. Mahmudullah tried to make it to his crease by making a desperate dive, but unfortunately, he was found short of his crease. Here is the video of the dismissal.

The run-out was only inspired by Jonty, as the legendary South African fielder inspired the cricketing world after he ran Inzamam-ul-Haq out in the 1992 World Cup.

In the 43rd match of ICC World Cup 2023, Bangladesh, batting first, put 306 runs on the board against Australia, their highest total in ICC World Cup 2023. Towid Hridoy was the star with the bat and scored 74 (79), which featured five fours and two sixes.

Adam Zampa was the pick of the bowler and took two wickets. Zampa now has 22 wickets in this World Cup, which is the most for an Australian spinner in a single World Cup edition. The five-time winners now need to chase 309 runs in fifty overs.

The Men in Green have made one change to their playing XI. Babar Azam said, “We have good bowlers, we will try to get them out cheaply.”

Meanwhile, Pakistan have virtually crashed out of ICC World Cup 2023, as they need to beat England by 287 runs or chase the target in 2.3 overs to qualify for semi-finals, which seems highly unlikely.

Australia vs Bangladesh Dream11 Team – VIDEO

The two are brand ambassadors for a brand, LivSpace, and sat down for a fun section, where Anushka Sharma asked Kohli about his favourite football club, holiday destination, and what he feared more – a yorker at 150 kmph or a bouncer at the same speed.

Kohli replied that he would ideally love to say none but for the sake of answering he said that he feared a bouncer more than a yorker.

“Which is your biggest fear – a yorker at a speed of 150 or a bouncer at a speed of 150,” Anushka asked.

“Bouncer. I mean, I can say none, but out of the two, bouncer is tougher,” Kohli replied.

Virat also revealed that he is looking to go on a wildlife safari in South Africa and also that Manchester City is his favourite football club. Here is the video of the special interview. 

It is to be seen whether Virat will play the game against the Netherlands or will he be given a rest to prepare for the semi-finals against New Zealand or Pakistan.

On November 10, ICC suspended the Sri Lanka Cricket because of the government’s interference. The International Cricket Council issued a press release where they stated that the Sri Lankan board has been suspended with immediate effect.

“The ICC Board met today and determined that Sri Lanka Cricket is in serious breach of its obligations as a Member, in particular, the requirement to manage its affairs autonomously and ensure that there is no government interference in the governance, regulation and/or administration of cricket in Sri Lanka. The conditions of the suspension will be decided by the ICC Board in due course.”

After a humiliating 302-run defeat against India in this World Cup, Sri Lanka’s sports minister, Roshan Ranasinghe, dissolved the board, but the Court of Appeals restored it.

This interference by the government in the internal matters of the Sri Lankan Cricket resulted in the suspension. Sri Lanka cannot participate in any ICC event till the ban gets lifted.

A similar event occurred in the India last year when FIFA suspended the Indian Football Federation for third party interference.
