AUS vs BAN ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Cricket World Cup 2023
Australia take on Bangladesh on Saturday in Pune in Match 43 of the 2023 Cricket World Cup as both teams finish their group stage campaigns. With their place in the semi-finals already confirmed, Australia come into this match with six wins from eight games so far. Bangladesh are in eighth place level on points with the three other teams from seventh to tenth also on four points. Read on as we preview this group stage match. The game gets underway at 10:30 local time.
Australian teams have always had a never say die attitude and that was there for all to see on Tuesday as they went from 91/7 to 293/7 to beat Afghanistan. They will now want to get back to their best ahead of the semi-finals and we expect them to be far too good for Bangladesh.
Bangladesh have been under-par across this tournament but they showed plenty of quality and fight to beat Sri Lanka in Delhi on Monday. However, they will need to produce one of their best all-time ODI performances if they are to beat Australia in this game.

AUS vs BAN Match Toss Prediction
The last two games in Pune in this tournament have seen the team batting first win by over 160 runs so we predict that both captains will choose to bat first if they win the toss on Saturday morning.
AUS vs BAN Pitch Report
The surface at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium is likely to be good to bat on with consistent and true bounce throughout the match. A par score will be over 310 on this wicket.
We saw England spinners in action in the last match on this pitch. We can expect the pitch to turn again in this match and players like Adam Zampa and Mehidy Hasan Miraz can make a difference for their teams.
Pune Weather Report
The humidity level will be around 50% at the start and the end of the contest but will dip down a little in between. Cloudy conditions are expected throughout with the temperature over 30 degrees.

Australia Team News
There were two changes for Australia ahead of their match at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai with Steve Smith left out along with Cameron Green. In their place came Mitchell Marsh alongside Glenn Maxwell and we expect the same side to be selected for this match.
Australia Team Key Players
- David Warner - Ahead of Friday’s fixture, the left-handed experienced opener for Australia was the fourth highest run scorer in the competition with an average of 55.75.
- Glenn Maxwell - The batting all-rounder came back into the side for the game with Afghanistan and produced one of the all-time great ODI innings hitting 201 not out from 128 balls to win the match for his country.

- Josh Hazlewood - The 32 year old right-arm fast medium bowler has taken 2 wickets and conceded less than 50 runs in both of his last two appearances. He is extremely accurate and his natural length is very hard to hit.
- Adam Zampa - The right-arm spinner found the going a little tougher against Afghanistan compared to his previous matches. However, he still picked up the wicket of Azmatullah Omarzai in Match 39.
- Mitchell Starc - Starc has picked 10 wickets in 8 matches so far and we are backing him to pick wickets on this track. He can be a deadly pacer in the powerplay overs and Afghan batters need to be worried about him.

Bangladesh Team News
It would be a big surprise if there were any changes to the Bangladesh team for this game after they got their second win of the tournament in the last fixture. Mustafizur Rahman was left out against Sri Lanka due to fitness and he will struggle to get back in the side on Saturday.
Bangladesh Team Key Players
- Najmul Hossain Shanto - The 25 year old left-hander has had a very disappointing tournament in spite of enjoying an excellent 2023 at international level. He hit 12 fours as he top scored for Bangladesh against Sri Lanka.
- Litton Das - The top-order batter Litton Das has smashed 248 runs so far. If Bangladesh bat first then he can score a good amount of runs in the daytime. He is currently the leading run scorer of the team.
- Mahmudullah - Mahmudullah is the leading run scorer of the team and he is 4 runs away from reaching the 300-run mark. He is batting at an impressive average of 59.20 and we are backing him to score runs in this match.

- Shoriful Islam - The left-arm opening bowler gets late swing and he could find himself bowling in the most humid section of the day which should aid his natural away movement.
- Taskin Ahmed - There were high expectations for the right-arm fast bowler ahead of this tournament but he has been unfortunate with injury. He bowled very well in the last game but went wicketless with figures of 0/39 from 10.

Who will win Australia vs Bangladesh ODI Match?
With match-winners across their team and many of their players in brilliant form, it will take a huge performance from Bangladesh to even be competitive in this game. We have Australia as the top team ahead of this match.
🏆 Australia vs Bangladesh Prediction
With the group stage drawing to a close, this will be Bangladesh’s last match of the tournament and their final opportunity to beat one of the big teams with their two victories coming against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka so far. They won their last fixture so there should be more self-belief in the team for this game but they are up against an in-form Australia who will always put out a team full of quality. Our prediction is for Australia to win this match on Saturday.
