Starc in? Australia captain Mitchell Marsh makes blooper at toss vs Bangladesh
Australia captain Mitchell Marsh made a blooper at the toss of the Super 8 clash against Bangladesh as he got confused with the team changes for the match. Marsh said that Australia had made 2 changes to the side for the match against Bangladesh with Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins coming into the side. However, Starc was already in the lineup for Australia's last game against Scotland.Â
Starc played the final group game and bowled 4 overs and conceded 31 runs from his allotted 4 overs. Marsh would have confused the left-arm pacer with Josh Hazlewood, who was rested for the clash against Scotland. Australia's two changes were actually Cummins and Hazlewood coming in for Nathan Ellis and Ashton Agar. Bangladesh made one change to the side with Mahedi Hasan coming in for Jaker Ali.Â
