Match 34 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 will see Australia take on Bangladesh at the Dubai International Stadium on Thursday, November 4.
Australia is placed third on the Group 1 points table, with four points from three matches. They lost to England in their previous encounter at the same venue. Batting first, Australia was bowled out for 125 runs, with Aaron Finch’s 44 being the top score. In reply, England chased down the target in 12 overs, on the back of Jos Buttler’s 71.
The Aaron Finch-led team will be desperate to get back to winning ways against Bangladesh and consolidate their position in the race for knockouts.
We weren't at our best tonight as England stay unbeaten.

On the other hand, Bangladesh has had a disappointing tournament so far. They are reeling at the bottom, with four losses in as many games. The Mahmudullah-led team lost to South Africa by 6 wickets in their last match. They were bowled out for just 84 runs, as Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje took three wickets each.
In reply, South Africa chased down the score in 14 overs. With not much left for Bangladesh in the tournament, they could be party-spoilers for others.
