Australia will face Bangladesh in the Super 8 Group 1 match at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. Aussies are coming into the Super 8 unbeaten while Bangladesh have plenty of issues to address.
The venue isn’t a particularly high-scoring one and in recent matches, the bowlers enjoyed a great deal of help from the surface here. As a result, Bangladesh will be under pressure as they face the likes of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins on a pace-friendly wicket.
For Bangladesh, their bowlers are key to a win here. Their batters haven’t been consistent while the bowlers have shown great promise. Tanzin Hasan Shakib, Mustafiuzzur Rahman, and Shakib Al Hasan are the ones to watch out for.
Australia haven’t faced a tough challenge with the ball yet. And this could be a time when their batting lineup will be tested. It should be an exciting contest though Australia have the upper hand.
Australia are grouped with all the Asian teams in the Super 8 Group 1. They will be playing India and Afghanistan after this match. They will be up against some quality bowling attack in the Super 8.
The pitches are also quite bowling-friendly and most captains will prefer to bowl first here. The Aussies have a deep batting lineup and will be confident taking on Bangladesh.
There are experienced batters in this lineup who are in great touch, carrying their from from the IPL. Stoinis and Tim David are going from strength to strength as far as finishing the games in concerned.
All eyes will be on Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell in the middle order. These two need to stick around a bit longer and keep the momentum going after Travis Head gets Australia off to a flying start.
The star-trio of Cummins, Starc, and Hazlewood in the bowling attack is Australia’s biggest and most lethal weapon. These three will pose a tough challenge to the struggling Bangladeshi batters.
Australia can bounce back even after early setbacks given their batting strength. It will take a huge effort from Bangladesh to put the Aussies on the back foot.

Bangladesh made it to the Super 8 with 3 wins from 4 matches in the group stage. However, their last win against Nepal wasn’t a convincing one as they were bowled out for 106 runs after being put to bat.
It was a huge batting collapse with no one able to hold their ground and make any significant impact. It was the bowling effort from Mustafizzur Rahman and Tanzim Hasan Sakib that turned the game in Bangladesh’s favor.
The two cleaned through the Nepali batting order leading their side to a 21-run win. Taskin Ahmed is another consistent bowler for Bangladesh to watch out for. A lot depends on these 3 to give Bangladesh an upper hand in the contest.
Shakib Al Hasan has got all the experience but hasn’t looked promising so far with the ball. He played a great knock against Netherlands at number 4 scoring an unbeaten 64 off 46 balls.
It was this knock that helped Bangladesh to a 159-run total. This time around, they would need a much better total and a much stronger effort from the middle order if they are to chase down a total successfully.
Liton Das, Towhid Hridoy, and Shakib Al Hasan are the key players in the middle-order. These three need to find their rhythm and build partnerships that impact the game in a big way.
The last time Bangladesh were chasing a total was against South Africa. They lost by 4 runs while chasing a 114-run target.

It is a balanced wicket that favors the pacers. The batters can also find help from the surface and time their strokes to perfection as the game progresses. The weather will be partly cloudy with a high of 31 degrees Celsius.

Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua will be the venue for the Australia vs Bangladesh clash of the Super 8, Group 1. The average 1st innings score here is just 120 runs. However, it is possible to post bigger totals on this ground. The team batting first needs to cross the 160-run mark at the least to have a chance of defending the total successfully.
Though there is not much of a difference between the numbers of matches won by the team batting first and second, we reckon bowling first and chasing a total will give the team an advantage. Teams chasing have found it much easier to score in the second innings at this venue in recent matches.
Australia are in much better form and overall a much stronger side. They’ve got plenty of experience, and talent, and their key players are delivering consistently. Bangladesh have their strengths that may give them some hope, but overall, they are far behind in this competition. Australia will start as clear favorites in our match prediction.
