Bangladesh vs Australia prediction
Bangladesh won their first ever series against Australia in any form of international cricket last week and now they get the opportunity to make it a white ball sweep. It will be interesting to see what sort of pitches we see in Chattogram and whether they are as bowler friendly compared to the ODIs, which definitely worked in the Tigers favour.
However, Australia are likely to improve substantially in the T20i format as so many of their players are more adept at this form of the white ball game. The bowling attack especially, should come into their own with the likes of Adam Zampa, Nathan Ellis and Spencer Johnson forming a potential lethal trio. Zampa in particular, is a spin-bowler who can profit from the Bangladesh batters attacking him, so it’s worth backing the Aussie to take at least a couple of wickets.
Bangladesh vs Australia tip: Adam Zampa to take 2+ wickets
