The unpredictable English weather had hurt the Kangaroos when they were chasing an easy-peasy target of 183 against Bangladesh. Unfortunately, with the result being decided after completion of 20 overs, Australian raced to 83 for one in 16 overs, before the rain dented their spirit to some extent.

The Steven Smith-led side went on to lose their crucial game against hosts Three Loins. Thus,  they subsequently crashed out of the tournament in the group stage fixtures.
