Big picture - Australia's batting strike rate vs Bangladesh's bowling averages.
How much further Bangladesh can go, and whether they can topple Australia, will likely come down to their batting order finding more productivity having struggled in, admittedly, some tricky conditions. None of their batters have yet to bring up 100 runs in the tournament and only Shakib Al Hasan has passed fifty. Towhid Hridoy has the highest strike-rate of 125.00.
The contrast with Australia is stark: four of their top six are striking at over 140 with Marcus Stoinis motoring at an impressive 190.24. Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell have yet to hit their stride - if they also find top gear, it's an intimidating batting order.
Australia's progression to the Super Eight was expected and very smooth - they saved their slightly underpar performance for their fielding effort against Scotland, a game which held no consequences for them but plenty for the opposition, and England.
For Bangladesh, expectations were low after their pre-tournament series loss to USA. They had to get out of a tough group that also included South Africa and Sri Lanka - the narrow win over the latter proved crucial, although there were some nervous moments against Nepal.
However this is all history and games are actually played and won in real times. So, history doesn't really matter. Yes, on their day Bangladesh can topple any team, no matter if it were India or Australia.
