Aaron Finch have won the toss and opted to bat first at Trent Bridge where Australia will be looking reclaim top spot on the table while Bangladesh have a huge opportunity to put pressure on the top four with a win on Thursday.
Australia have only played Bangladesh in two ODI's since 2011. The 2015 World Cup clash in Brisbane was washed out without a ball being ball while the Champions Trophy clash in 2017 ended without a result with rain halting Australia's chase.
Tiogers skipper Mashrafe said, "We would have liked to bat first as well, it's a good wicket". "But we are chasing well in the last few days," he added. The tigers got two changes. Mohammad Saifuddin is out because of the back spasm. Mosaddek Hossain hurt his shoulder. Sabbir Rahman and Rubel Hossain come into the side.
Aaron Finch defended his decision of opting for batting. He said, "It's a very good surface." Australia have got three changes. Marcus Stoinis is back from the injury, Zampa is back and so is Nathan Coulter-Nile. Marsh, Behrendorff and Richardson are out of the squad.
The World Cup's come to England, it's not even the most watched World Cup on TV across the UK (by a margin), but Bangladesh have single-handedly taken charge of making it a fun tournament.
Australia: Aaron Finch (capt), David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey (wk), Nathan Coulter-Nile, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa.
Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Liton Das, Mahmudullah, Sabbir Rahman, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), Rubel Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman.
