Australia beat Bangladesh, Australia won by 10 wickets (with 49 balls remaining)

So Australia wrap up the first ten-wicket win in this World Cup. It was an expected victory but they went about in in clinical style. Bangladesh let themselves down with the bat and never really had a chance once they made just 104. Hayden and Gilchrist are as devastating an opening pair as any and they completed the job in just 13.5 overs. Australia look unstoppable, Bangladesh will hope to pick up the pieces when they take on New Zealand on April 2.

Shakib to Hayden, SIX runs

It's all over. Slog swept way over midwicket this time. He can be dynamite this man. Matt the Bat finishes it in style.

13.2

Shakib to Hayden, SIX runs

That's a biggie! Hayden charges down the ground, meets the ball on a half-volley and lofts it straight way, way back into the stands. It was muscled that one and Hayden can beef them spectacularly

12.5

Mohammad Rafique to Gilchrist, FOUR runs

quick and short, slightly wide as well and all that Gilchrist needs to do is rock back and back-cut it between short third man and point. It was in the air but in the gap. No chance for either men

12.1

Mohammad Rafique to Gilchrist, SIX runs

Flighted outside off, Gilchrist down the ground in a flash, clatters it over extra cover with a pendulum smooth swing. Man at long-ff but he can't reach that. Way over for a six.

Razzak to Hayden, FOUR runs

good length ball outside off, Hayden down the ground and tries to loft it over long-on, beaten in the flight but gets a thickish edge that speeds away to the midwicket fence. Such is the power he generates
