AUS vs BAN | Twitter reacts as Bangladesh lose match but win hearts on social media
Bangladesh, a team that was called as a minnow for a long time, made a statement as they tried to chase down 382. Mushfiqur Rahim, along with Mahmudullah, built a very good partnership but faded towards the end. The Twitterati had nothing but love for Bangladesh for their effort against Australia.
Brief Scores : Australia 381/5 in 50 overs (David Warner 166, Usman Khawaja 89; Soumya Sarkar 3-58) beat Bangladesh 333/8 in 50 overs (Mushfiqur Rahim 102*, Mahmudullah 69; Marcus Stoinis 2-54, Mitchell Starc 2-55) by 48 runs
Standing ovation needed!
Whatever the outcome might be, this fight by Bangladesh deserves nothing but respect and applause. #AUSvBAN

Pretty sure many Bangladeshi fans had a hope of winning this match!
At one point I thought they were going to chase. But outstanding effort from the tigers. @BCBtigers played the game beautifully. They are determined! #AUSvBAN #CWC19

Watch and learn West Indies!
Not a win but I am impressed with the way Bangladesh batted..they have improved a lot man.Not giving free run rate to the aussies, unlike West Indies.This is what matters in events like these #AUSvBAN

A serious question!
#CWC19 what is a safe score now? Almost every team are scoring 300+. Only NZ have restricted their opponent below 300? #AUSvBAN

The difference between both the sides today?
Glenn Maxwell's 10 ball 32 made the big difference here otherwise Bangladesh could've chased this down.

Gem! #CWC19 #Ausvban #RiseOfTheTigers #BANvAUS @Gmaxi_32 @Uz_Khawaja
This is what the Bangladesh cricket team needs!
Had Bangladesh's bowling been a little better then the would have qualified for top 4 for sure. They r playing one of the best cricket in their history. (batting wise).#AUSvBAN

Catches win matches!
It's only because of misfield, @BCBtigers lost the match. Shabbir missed the catch and run out of @davidwarner31 and that is the main difference between two teams. Well played Tigers. Congrats Aussies.#AUSvBAN #CWC19
