Nottingham: The 26th match of the ongoing Cricket World Cup, which was played between Australia and Bangladesh, has stopped due to rain. The match is played, here, in Trent Bridge.

Earlier, defending champions Australia won the toss and choose to bat first against Bangladesh in the 26th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup here at Trent Bridge, on Thursday.
