Mitch Marsh has been recalled at expense of Ashton Agar as Australia try to keep their Twenty20 World Cup hopes alive against Bangladesh.

Agar's time back in the team lasted just one game after Australia suffered a humiliating thrashing to England on Saturday night.

After winning the toss and electing to bowl, captain Aaron Finch confirmed Marsh's inclusion was the only change for the must-win clash in Dubai.

The powerful allrounder has been listed to bat at No.3, the position he dominated in during recent tours of Bangladesh and the West Indies.

Marsh batted in the top order for the opening game win against South Africa, but Steve Smith stepped up to first drop against Sri Lanka.

The eight-wicket belting to England means Australia need to defeat Bangladesh and the West Indies, to qualify for the next stage of the tournament.

Bangladesh are also coming off a heavy loss, with South Africa chasing down a disappointing total of 84 with more than six overs to spare on Tuesday.

Australia XI: David Warner, Aaron Finch (capt), Mitch Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

Bangladesh XI: Mohammad Naim, Liton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah (capt), Afif Hossain, Shamim Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam.
