Exactly a day after the 14-year anniversary of their famous victory over Australia in Cardiff, Bangladesh will be facing the defending champions in Nottingham. The Tigers can really take inspiration from that performance and should back themselves to create history again. They are also high on confidence after gunning down 322 runs against the Windies and the Trent Bridge offers them another batting beauty.

Australia, on the other hand, have recovered from the loss against India and are coming into this game having defeated the other two Asian teams, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, comfortably. Will Bangladesh pose a challenge in front of them is the question. Well, they will have to topple a couple of big teams to make it to the semi-finals of this World Cup. It will be a thrilling game if Bangladesh play to their potential.

Marcus Stoinis will most probably return to the playing XI for Australia which is a massive boost while they might also ponder over including one of the spinners ahead of Jason Behrendorff. Bangladesh bowlers looked out of ideas when Shimron Hetmyer and Jason Holder attacked them but came back well to restrict the opposition. They will have to be more clinical against Australia. Bangladesh might go in unchanged for the key encounter.
