Bangladesh almost certainly have to beat Australia today to avoid being eliminated from the Champions Trophy. Australia, meanwhile, will be hoping to complete a game after their first game was washed out.
5th Match, Group A: Australia v Bangladesh at The Oval

[color=rgb(37, 37, 37)][/color][left][color=rgb(37, 37, 37)][size=16px]It's a must-win game for both sides. I'm surprised that Bangladesh batted first - I don't think the pitch will deteriorate. Both sides wanted to bat, which is strange when there's rain around.[/size][/color][/left]
Bangladesh 37/2 (10.2 ov)
The match will now resume at 10 pm following rain interruption
Australia batsmen are making their way to the middle. They require 183 to win.
Australia coasting. Much needed time in the middle for two key batsmen. Not much of a contest again. Certainly not so far.
4 overs short of the required 20 overs and the rain falls. Australia 83/1
Rain
