Australia Beat Bangladesh By 8 Wickets In Second One Day

Darwin: Australia crushed Bangladesh by eight wickets in the second one-day international at here on Wednesday to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in their three-match series. Once again weighed down by batting lapses, Bangladesh struggled to 117 against an unforgiving attack and then found Shaun Marsh and his top-order colleagues equally merciless.

The Australians coasted to victory with 27.2 overs to spare after bowling the visitors out for just 117 then racing to 118 for two in reply.

Left-hander Shaun Marsh top-scored with an unbeaten 69 while his fellow opener Shane Watson made a brisk 29 as the world champions followed up their 180-run win on Saturday with another lopsided victory.

Bangladesh wicketkeeper Dhiman Ghosh top scored for Bangladesh with a defiant 30 while Mitchell Johnson was the pick of the Australian bowlers after capturing 3-17.

Brief Score: Australia 2 for 118 (Marsh 69*) beat Bangladesh 117 (Ghosh 30, Johnson 3-17) by eight wickets
