AUS vs BAN Dream11 Prediction for Today's Cricket World Cup 2023 Match 43, Playing XI, and Captain and Vice-Captain Picks

Australia (AUS) and Bangladesh(BAN) will be against each other in the 43rd match of the ODI World Cup 2023 at the MCA Stadium in Pune. It has been a contrasting story for both the teams in the tournament so far. Where Australia after a slow start has been a dominant force by winning their last 6 matches on the trot. On the other hand, Bangladesh has had a forgettable World Cup so far and is languishing at the bottom half of the tournament by winning only two matches out of the 6 they have played so far.

While Australia will look to fine-tune their playing combination before the big semi-final against the in-form South Africa, even after being eliminated from the tournament Bangladesh has a lot to play for as their Champions Trophy 2025 qualification will depend heavily on the result of this match.
