Bangladesh vs Australia, ICC World Cup 2023: Australia beat Bangladesh by eight wickets in their final round-robin match of ICC World Cup 2023 at the MCA International Stadium in Pune on Saturday (November 11). Mitchell Marsh starred in the game with a knock of 177 not out while the Aussies chased down a 307-run target.

Bangladesh vs Australia, ICC World Cup 2023: Who Said What

Player of the Match Mitchell Marsh: "It feels great, obviously to finish off the league games with another win was great for the boys. It was important for me to back myself at 3, knowing when Head comes back, I'll have to go down to 3.

"Have failed a few times, but have backed myself to perform. Sure my mum and dad would be watching back home and they would be happy with this, my grandpop (who passed away last week) was a great man and I'm sure he'd be happy out there.

"I think we're peaking well at the moment and looking forward to the semi-finals in Kolkata. It's rare that you'd win the Man of the Match award after going for nearly fifty from 4 overs, but I would want to contribute more to the team."

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto: "I think the two run-outs (which changed the momentum). We got off to a good start but lost momentum because of those run-outs. If we had scored 340-350 it would have been different.

" Our fast bowlers bowled really well but the spinners weren't as effective in the middle overs, we want to improve our bowling in the middle overs. It's disappointing, we didn't play our best this tournament. We will see what we can do better from now.

"Mahmuduallah batted really well in this World Cup and Shakib also bowled well in a couple of games. We have to improve as a team. It is not about individual performances, we want to look at the 9 games and work on areas we need to improve."
