Bangladesh vs Australia – 3rd T20I Betting Tips

Host Bangladesh will be looking to clinch the T20I series when they take on Australia in the third game at Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Friday.

In the second game of the T20I series, Bangladesh registered a comfortable win over Australia, courtesy excellent performances from Mustafizur Rahman, Afif Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, and Shoriful Islam. With this result, Bangladesh have taken a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20I series with three games to spare.

On the other hand, Australia’s inexperienced batting has struggled to make an impact against Bangladesh’s disciplined bowling performances. The visitors will have to raise their overall in a bid to break their winless streak and keep the series alive.

Bangladesh Form and Team News

The home side will not make any changes to their final XI for this contest. Captain Mahmudullah will be pleased with his side’s performances in the first two matches of the T20I series.

Chasing a below-par score of 122 runs, openers Soumya Sarkar and Mohammad Naim perished in quick succession to see Bangladesh get off to a shaky start.

All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and Mahedi Hasan led the fightback for Bangladesh with a 37-run partnership for the third wicket.

Shakib Al Hasan continued his decent form and scored 26 runs off 17 balls, whereas Mahedi Hasan chipped in with 23 runs off 24 balls.

He was well supported by wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan, who scored unbeaten 22 off 21 balls with the help of three boundaries.

In the bowling department, the onus will be on the spin trio of Nasum Ahmed, Mahedi Hasan, and Shakib Al Hasan to deliver crucial breakthroughs. The pace duo of Shoriful Islam and Mustafizur Rahman were excellent in the middle-overs for Bangladesh in the previous match and claimed five wickets between them.

Australia Form and Team News:

The visitors will have to come with better plans to combat the Bangladesh spinners in this fixture. Captain Alex Carey might go for one or two changes to their playing XI for this must-win game.

With Matthew Wade failing yet again in the previous match, Ben McDermott might be slotted into the final XI for this all-important clash.

In the previous match, openers Alex Carey and Josh Phillipe once again struggled to get going in their innings and perished in the Powerplay overs of the innings.

The team management will be hoping that interim captain Alex Carey can spend time in the middle and can find form with the bat in this contest.

In the 2nd T20I, All-rounder Mitchell Starc was the star performer with the bat and finished the innings with the top score of 45 runs off 42 balls with the help of five boundaries. He was well supported by Moises Henriques, who chipped in with 30 runs off 25 balls with the help of three fours and one six.

Besides, the likes of Ashton Turner, Matthew Wade, and Ashton Agar failed to make a decent contribution with the bat for Australia.

For this fixture, the onus will be on the wicket-keeper Alex Carey, the all-rounder duo of Mitchell Marsh and Moises Henriques to deliver the bulk of the runs.

In the bowling department, the side will be relying on the pace duo of Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc to provide crucial breakthroughs in the Powerplay overs.

In the previous game, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Ashton Agar, and Adam Zampa bowled well and claimed one wicket each.
