Mushfiqur Rahim’s determined century to no avail as a combative Bangladesh comes up 48 runs short
Australia moved closer to the semifinals after David Warner, with his second century of the tournament, inspired the defending champion to a comfortable 48-run win over a combative Bangladesh here on Thursday.
The left-handed opener contained his natural aggressive self before swinging his arms freely to score 166, which steered Australia to a mammoth 381 for five, its second highest in the World Cup.
Warner, who had hit a hundred against Pakistan, added 121 with his skipper Aaron Finch (53) in a riskfree opening partnership and then raised a 192-run stand with Usman Khawaja (89).
His 16th ODI hundred, which was also his sixth 150plus knock, came off147 balls and had 14 hits to fence and five over the ropes.
The stage was set to go after the bowlers and Glenn Maxwell produced a 10-ball 32, which had three sixes and two fours. Maxwell was run out after a mix-up with Khawaja, who sent his partner back sensing a risk, and the latter was caught behind 11 short of a hundred.
