PUNE: Mitchell Marsh’s career-best 177 not out sent Australia into next week’s World Cup semi-finals with a convincing eight-wicket win over Bangladesh in Pune on Saturday.
Marsh’s second hundred of the World Cup ensured Australia, already guaranteed a last-four clash with South Africa, made light of their target of 307 to win with 32 balls remaining.
This was just Marsh’s third hundred in 87 one-day internationals and surpassed his 121 against Pakistan earlier in the tournament as the 32-year-old’s highest score.
The all-rounder, strong on the drive and square of the wicket, faced 132 balls including 17 fours and nine sixes.
