The second T20I of the ongoing five-match series between Bangladesh and Australia will take place aꦫt Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in🌼 Dhaka on Wednesday.

The hosts are ahead with 1-0 afterﷺ crushing visitors in the ser𓆏ies opener by 23 runs. Bangladesh would aim to carry the momenꦺtum and record another winܫ.

On the other hand, Australia shall be focusing on making a comeback a🐻nd level the series. They failed to chase the paltry target of 132 in the previous fixture after a batting collapse. The Aussies would be surely hoping not to repeat those mistakes in the second match.

Pitch report:

It was quite evident from the first game that the track at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium tends to stay slow, and spinners gain  advantage from it. Bangladesh spinner Nasum Ahmed was the star in the opening gameꩵ after picking up a four-wicket haul for 19 🎐runs.

Playing Combination:

Bangladesh

Bangladesh batting did disappoint, but the bowling unit ruled the game in the hosts’ favour by defending a mere 131. With such a remarkable performance, it’s highly unlikely that the home team would make any changes in the winning combination.

BAN XI: Mahmudullah (c), Soumya Sarkar, M🌱ohammad Naim, Shakib Al Hasan, Nurul Hasan (wk), Afif Hossain, Shamim Hossain, Mahed🌟i Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Nasum Ahmed.

Australia

Like their opponents, the Aussies did a pretty good job with the ball, but batting failure cost them the game. However, after just one bad game, it’s not expected that the touring side would make any change.

AUS XI: Matthew Wade (c & wk), Josh Philippe, Alex Carey, Mitchell Marsh, Moises Henriqueꦬs, Ashton Turner, Ashton Agar, Mitchell Starc, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa, ﷽Josh Hazlewood.

Match prediction:

Case 1:

  • Australia win the toss and bowl first
  • Bangladesh Powerplay score: 35-45
  • Bangladesh Total: 130-145

Case 2:

  • Bangladesh win the toss and bowl first
  • Australia Powerplay score: 40-55
  • Australia Total: 140-155
