ODI World Cup: Mitchell Marsh's brilliant unbeaten 177 off 132 balls helped Australia thrash Bangladesh by eight wickets and complete their preliminary league campaign with seven wins in the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 on Saturday.

After Bangladesh rode on a patient 74 by Towhid Hridoy to post an impressive 306/8 in 50 overs, Marsh, Australia's number three slammed 26 boundaries including nine sixes in his inspired century, lighting up the second innings of the match and bringing Australia's group stage to a spectacular close.

Marsh’s effort, along with a half-century from David Warner and good support from Steve Smith saw the Aussies make easy work of a demanding chase, sending the five-time World Champions into the semifinals full of confidence.
