Last year, Cummins helped Australia win the World Test Championship and 50-over World Cup. Two down, one to go!

Just another three from it and Litton Das is really struggling to get going for Bangladesh.

Relief for Bangladesh. That was really nice from Shanto, just banged over the bowler's head for six. That is what the Bangladesh fans want to see.
That's more like it!
Najmul Hossain Shanto skips down the track and plonks a length delivery from Josh Hazlewood over long-on.
The first six of the night!

The frustration will start to show for Litton Das, he will hold back and hold back and hold back.
Mitchell Starc helps Bangladesh out with a leg-side wide before Najmul Hossain Shanto pinches a single.
Litton Das is still waiting to get off the mark and finally does so from the 10th delivery he's faced.
Not exactly vintage T20 batting at the top of the order so far.
According to Cricviz, 154 is a winning score for Bangladesh at this ground. That feels a long way off.
A rare maiden over in T20 cricket. Surely even rarer in the powerplay.
Very good from Josh Hazlewood but Bangladesh's batting struggles, combined with that early wicket, has seen them take a very careful approach early on.

We've had nine deliveries in this match, eight of them have been dots.
Excellent start from Josh Hazlewood. Hitting the pitch hard with an immaculate line and length.
Three dots to start for him.

That will be a bit of light relief for Bangladesh, Shanto just managed to get his wrists through that. They will need him to kick on from here.

Both teams are wearing green, which is really confusing me. This is an ICC tournament, shouldn't one of them have an away kit?
Bangladesh get off the mark with a boundary to end the first over.
A bit of width from Mitchell Starc and Najmul Hossain Shanto throws the bat at it, getting four over backward point with a thick outside edge.

Image source, Getty ImagesBangladesh's batting woes continue. Tanzid has struggled, the top three just haven't got runs. Where do they go from here? They can't afford to do that against a team like Australia.
These opening three just haven't found form. They came into the tournament out of form hoping to play themselves in and that just hasn't happened.

Very full from Mitchell Starc to start as you'd expect, there is a bit of swing for him and he strikes third ball!
The line is perfect and when the ball stays low, Tanzid Hasan is in the trouble. It sneaks under the bat, via the toe-end, and clatters into off stump.
The perfect start for Australia.

There's always areas to improve, that's a bi-product of being in a tournament. Australia need to keep their momentum in these Super 8s to get into the semi-finals and the final.
Anthems done and Mitchell Marsh leads the Australia team out to the middle.
Bangladesh openers Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan are not far behind.
Mitchell Starc will bowl the first over.

Despite a delay in the toss, we're all set to start on time.
Earlier on India underlined their title credentials with a comprehensive 47-run victory over Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup Super 8s in Barbados.
Suryakumar Yadav struck a sublime 53 off 28 balls to lead India to an imposing 181-8 despite their acclaimed top order failing to fire.
Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan and tournament leading wicket-taker Fazalhaq Farooqi impressed, claiming three wickets each, but a loose end to the innings left their batters little room for error in the chase.
They slipped to 23-3 early on in their reply, with India's supreme fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah removing both openers on his way to figures of 3-7.
India kept the pressure on to ensure Afghanistan fell far behind the required rate, before they were dismissed for 134 off the final ball, with Arshdeep Singh taking 3-36.
