12:44 PM IST The Presentation ceremony...

12:43 PM IST Earlier in the game, Pat Cummins won the toss and had no hesitation in bowling first on a wicket that looked excellent for batting. Bangladesh were happy to bat first and got off to a flier of a start against the likes of Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins but it was Sean Abbott who drew first blood for Australia and then Adam Zampa took control of the middle phase. Bangladesh batters all got off to starts but threw their wickets away and a couple of big run-outs really hurt them. Towhid Hridoy though played a lovely knock of 71 and a cameo from Mehidy Hasan down the order took them over the 300-run mark. Coming to the chase, after losing an early wicket, Australia never looked back and Mitchell Marsh almost single-handedly battered the Bangladeshi bowling attack to seal the win for Australia.
