ban vs aus Match Prediction & Analysis

Bangladesh notched up their maiden victory against the Aussies in the T20I format and they have the favorites tag to win this series for the first time. Bangladesh will look to test Australian batting line-up with yet another spin trial in the upcoming match and a win in the upcoming match will further strength their position in the series. Australia were shell shocked and clueless against the home team bowling attack in the testing conditions. They need to regroup and put on a spirited showing to win this match.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Bangladesh Preview

Bangladesh batsmen were never allowed to settle as the Aussies kept taking wickets. Mohammed Naim (30 runs) and Shakib Al Hasan (36 runs) kept the scoreboard ticking at the top while the duo of Mahmudullah (20 runs) and Afif Hossain (23 runs) scored crucial runs to take their team to a competitive 131 runs in 20 overs.

Bangladesh spinners Nurul Hasan, Shakib Al Hasan, and Mahmud Hasan (one over from Mahmudullah) completely dominated the match with combined figures of 13-0-71-6. Pacers Mustafizur and Shoriful Islam played a perfect support act claiming 2 wickets each in the match.

Top players to bet on:

Shakib Al Hasan – Shakib is the most valuable player and he scored 36 runs and had bowling figures of 4-0-24-1 in the last game. We expect Shakib to continue his all-round from in this match too.

Nasum Ahmed – Ahmed had bowling figures of 4-0-19-4 and he claimed 4 of the top-6 batters in the opposition team. We expect him to bamboozle the batsmen in this match too.

Soumya Sarkar, Mohammad Naim, Shakib Al Hasan, Nurul Hasan (wk), Mahmudullah (c), Afif Hossain, Shamim Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Nasum Ahmed

Australia Preview

Australian batsmen had no answer to the spin attack and they lost 3 wickets in first 2.1 overs and never really recovered for their as they were bowled out for just 108 runs. Mitchell Marsh was the only batsmen who looked pretty assured with his run-a-ball 45 runs. Seven players were dismissed for single digit scores in the last game.

Aussie bowlers did a good job restricting the host to 131/7 in 20 overs. Starc and Hazlewood were superb with the ball claiming 5 wickets between them. Adam Zampa, Andrew Tye, and Ashton Agar bowled economically with combined figures of 12-0-72-2 controlling the mddle overs effectively.

Top players to bet on:

Mitchell Marsh – Marsh scored 45 runs in the match and was only player bat sensibly while the other batters kept losing wickets at the other end. We expect marsh to continue his dominant form with the bat in this match too.

Josh Hazlewood: Hazelwood had bowling figures of 4-0-24-3 in the last game and he bowled 2 overs in power play and one in death. We expect him to torment the batsmen in this match too.

Australia Predicted Playing XI:

Josh Philippe, Alex Carey, Mitchell Marsh, Moises Henriques, Ashton Turner/Ben McDormett, Matthew Wade (c & wk), Ashton Agar, Mitchell Starc, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Dhaka is expected to have scattered rain with mild thunderstorms on the match day. And we expect rain and DLS equation to make a little appearance in this match.

Venue Details

Dhaka pitch is a traditionally a slow track with lot of aid for the spinners especially. Batsmen will need to fight out the conditions to score runs on this track and pacers will look to mix their variations and slower balls to trouble the batsmen. We expect the average scores to be around 140-150 runs.

Toss: To Bat

Batsmen danced to the tunes of the bowlers in the second innings as the pitch slowed up considerably and we expect both teams to bat first if they win the toss.
