TEAMS PREVIEW
Australia Preview
Australia enter the two-Test series against Bangladesh as clear favourites and will look to make a strong start when the first Test begins at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin on 13 August. This series forms part of the 2025-27 ICC World Test Championship, with the hosts currently sitting atop the standings.
Pat Cummins returns as captain alongside key bowlers like Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon, giving Australia a formidable pace and spin attack. Scott Boland provides further depth, while Cameron Green and Beau Webster offer all-round balance.
The batting line-up remains strong, with Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Travis Head and opener Jake Weatherald also getting another opportunity after a decent showing in the Ashes. Alex Carey is expected to keep wicket, with Josh Inglis also in the squad.
Australia have been in excellent form in recent Test cricket, winning the four out of five matches in the previous Ashes series against England. Playing at home in Darwin, where conditions can offer assistance to pace bowlers, they will aim to dominate with both bat and ball. Their depth and experience make them well-equipped to handle any challenges Bangladesh presents.
Australia Predicted Playing XI:
Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Cameron Green, Alex Carey (WK), Beau Webster, Pat Cummins (C), Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon.
Australia Actual Playing XI:

Bangladesh Preview
Bangladesh embark on their first Test series in Australia since 2003 when they face the hosts in the opening match at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin from 13 August.
Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto leads a side that includes experienced campaigners like Mushfiqur Rahim, Mominul Haque and the recalled Soumya Sarkar.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz serves as vice-captain and will play a key role with both bat and ball. Litton Das has recovered from injury and joined the squad, adding further strength to the middle order and wicketkeeping options.
The bowling attack will be led by Taskin Ahmed, supported by Hasan Mahmud, Khaled Ahmed and Ebadot Hossain. Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan provide the spin options.
Bangladesh lost their warm-up match against a Cricket Australia XI, which highlighted the challenges of adapting to Australian conditions. They will need strong contributions from their experienced batters and disciplined bowling if they are to compete against a full-strength Australian side.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing XI:
Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan, Mominul Haque, Jaker Ali (WK), Najmul Hossain Shanto (C), Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Khaled Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Expect classic dry-season conditions in Darwin. The forecast is mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies throughout the period. Daytime temperatures will reach highs around 31–33°C. The chance of rain remains very low with largely dry weather expected.
AUS vs BAN Pitch Report
The surface at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin is a drop-in pitch. It is the first Test pitch prepared here in 22 years. It is expected to be a hard, even surface with some grass cover. It typically offers true bounce and good carry. Seamers can get early assistance, while the pitch is expected to remain true and hold up well over five days. As it wears, there may be some additional movement or variable bounce later in the match. Spinners could come into play if the surface dries and cracks under the dry-season heat.
Toss: To Bowl
The toss decision might depend on the captain who wins the toss. It is likely that if Australia win the toss, they would most likely want to bat first and get a big total on the board. On the other, Bangladesh would want to bowl first and try their luck getting the Aussies out early.
AUS vs BAN
Winning Prediction
Australia are overwhelming favourites at home. With a formidable attack led by Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon, plus a strong batting line-up featuring Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head, they hold a clear edge. Bangladesh face a tough challenge on their first Test tour of Australia since 2003 and will struggle to compete against the hosts.
Mighty Australia are the favourites to win this match.
