ban vs aus Match Prediction & Analysis

Australia were termed favorites and Bangladesh team told they were not fazed by the Aussies despite playing in their home soil. But after 2 matches into the series, Bangladesh have been all over Australia with 2 wins on a trot. Bangladesh have an opportunity to win the series in the third match itself despite the absence of Tamim, Mushfiqur, and Liton Das in their squad. Australia on the other hand need to find the right technique to bat in the sub continental conditions. They need to come up with spirited performances to keep the series alive.

Australia Preview

Australian batsmen were troubled by both pacers and spinners in this match. They slumped to 31/2 at the end of power play. Mitchell marsh (45 runs) and Moises Henriques (30 runs) brought them back with a 57-run partnership. But, their middle order collapsed from 88/2 to 106/7 to finish with a below par 121/7 in their 20 overs.

All the 5 Aussie bowlers claimed a wicket each but they had very little score to defend in the match. Spinners Adam Zampa and Ashton Agar alongside Josh Hazlewood gave runs at less than 6 RPO while the pace duo of Mitchell Starc and Andrew Tye went for 9 RPO. They need to add a spinner or a bowler capable of using the slower balls to great effect on this pitch.

Mitchell Marsh – Marsh has identical scores of 45 in both the matches and he is the leading run scorer among both the sides so far. He will look to make a big score and help his team win this crucial match.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Dhaka is expected to dark and cloudy weather with rain and thunderstorms on the match day. And DLS equation might come into consideration in this match.

Venue Details

Dhaka pitch will continue to aid the bowlers with its slow nature and uneven bounce. Batsmen cannot score freely on this pitch and need to bat long top post a big score on board. We expect the average scores to be around 130-140 runs.

Toss: To Bat

The pitch slows down as the match progresses and the used nature of the track might further add to the woes of the batsmen. Both teams will look to bat first and post a score in excess of 140 runs on board.
