Bangladesh vs Australia prediction

Despite losing the ODI series against Bangladesh, Australia have now won their last two games in the sub-continent across all formats and may just be starting to click. We expected the Aussies to be stronger in the T20i series and so far, that does look to be the case. They stayed above the run rate despite the loss of wickets to defeat the Tigers in the opening game after bowling them out for just 131.

On bowler-friendly surfaces, Bangladesh are absolutely capable of rallying and giving Australia a bloody nose. But they have to deal with Cooper Connolly, who is currently in excellent form in all formats. He’s now top scored in consecutive matches, backing up his incredible 149 in the third ODI with a game-winning 47 in the first T20i. Back him to maintain this form with a score of over 21.5 match runs this time around.

Bangladesh vs Australia tip: Cooper Connolly to score over 21.5 match runs
