T20 World Cup LIVE: Australia’s Super Eights campaign kicks off against Bangladesh

Must read

Australia begin the serious stage of their T20 World Cup campaign against Bangladesh in the Super Eights, or quarter finals, where the top eight teams from the group matches go through to the second round.

There are two groups of four. Australia must win at least two of their matches against Bangladesh, Afghanistan and India to qualify for the semi-finals.

While it looks a relatively easy task for the Australians, with matches against two of the more lowly Test nations to start with, their spinners could cause problems on wickets that can aid spin at times.

Australia will need to play better than during their last match against Scotland, where they dropped six catches, let Scotland score 180, and ran down the target with two balls to spare.
