The ICC World Cup Pool A match between Australia and Bangladesh was abandoned without a ball bowled because of rain. 

The washout at the Gabba meant both sides collected a point apiece for a no-result and left them on three each in Pool A, with runaway leaders New Zealand topping the group with six points following three straight wins. 

Bangladesh will play their next match against Sri Lanka on 26 February in Melbourne. 

Australia's concern is that they will now have a long gap between their opening 111-run win over England in Melbourne on February 14 and their next match against fellow co-hosts New Zealand in Auckland on February 28.
