- Jahurul Islam made his Twenty20 international debut in Wednesday's WT20 match against Australia. He became 28th player to represent Bangladesh in T20Is.
- The seventh wicket partnership of 74 runs between Mike Hussey and Steve Smith is Australia's highest for this wicket in T20Is. The pair obliterated the previous record stand of 57 between Brad Hogg and Brett Lee at Johannesburg on 24-02-2006.
- The above partnership was also the highest partnership in the World Cup and second highest in all T20Is for the seventh wicket. Kumar Sangakkara and Angelo Mathews had added 68 runs (without being separated) against Pakistan at Lord's on 21-06-2009, which was the previous highest seventh wicket stand in a world cup match.
- Mohammad Ashraful was opening the innings for the second time in his T20I career. He had also done this against New Zealand at Hamilton on 03-02-2010, making 11 off 14 balls.
-Both Bangladesh openers -- Imrul Kayes and Mohammad Ashraful -- were dismissed without scoring. This provided the second such instance in the World Cup and fourth in all T20Is. The complete list:
