Our Tipster’s Angle

In the absence of premier players, Bangladesh have delivered excellent performances to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match T20I series.

Captain Mahmudullah will be pleased with the side’s disciplined performances in the first three matches of the T20I series. From Afif Hossain to Shoriful Islam, young players have done exceedingly well in the T20I series against Australia.

On the other hand, this series loss is certainly a reality check that Australia needs to do a lot of hard work to beat good teams on sluggish pitches. Given the T20 World Cup will be played in UAE later this year, Head Coach Justin Langer will be hoping that the side can make significant improvements in their batting ahead of the showpiece event.

Therefore, the prediction is for Bangladesh to register a comprehensive win over Australia in the fourth game of the T20I series.

Tip 1: Mitchell Marsh’s run-scoring spree in the T20Is

He is currently leading the batting charts for Australia this season. In eight outings with the bat, Marsh has accumulated 360 runs with four half-centuries to his name.

Since making his debut for Bangladesh this season, the left-arm seamer has impressed everyone with his excellent performances against Zimbabwe and Australia. In the previous match, Shoriful Islam was the pick of the bowlers and finished with figures of 2 for 29 in his four overs.

With 17 scalps in nine innings at an economy rate of 7.70, Shoriful is the leading wicket-taker for Bangladesh in the T20 format this year.
