Nottingham: Defending champions Australia beat Bangladesh by 48 runs in their World Cup group match at Trent Bridge yesterday to go top of the 10-team table.

David Warner's superb 166 helped Australia reach 381 for five in their 50 overs and Bangladesh, despite a gallant century from Mushfiqur Rahim, failed to keep up with the required run-rate. Bangladesh remain fifth in the table, with the top four sides qualifying for next month's semi-finals.
