And here’s the match report from Basin Reserve:

Australia remain unbeaten - seven wins from seven now. They were tested at times today by a brave Bangladesh, whose spin bowling impressed. The weather also played a part, sometimes comically so, and it wasn’t an easy outing for either team. But the tournament favourites are living up to their billing and the semi-finals await next week. For Bangladesh, their hopes of an unlikely semi-final appearance are officially over, but they will play England on Sunday in their final game in New Zealand and could yet have a say in who reaches the final four. Please do join us for that match, and for the final three games of the tournament that follow. Until then!
