The rest of the game was but a formality once Mitchell Marsh raced away to 36 off the 19 balls he faced in the Powerplay. The Australian captain tore into Taskin Ahmed, hitting a six in the third over and then four boundaries in Taskin’s next. Australia, who reached 54 for the loss of Josh Inglis in the first six overs, continued to motor to the finish line, plundering 20 off Nahid Rana’s first over. Marsh hit the speedster for a six and a four before Cooper Connolly found a pair of boundaries.
