Australia beat Bangladesh by six wickets in their Triangular Series one-day international here Thursday. World champions Australia, already qualified for Saturday's Lord's final against England, reduced Bangladesh to 75 for five after winning the toss in the last group match of the tournament.
But Shahriar Nafees (75) and Khaled Mashud (71 not out) both produced their career-best scores and put on 94 for the sixth wicket.
