Bangladesh vs Australia prediction
A low-scoring contest is expected between these two nations on what is expected to be a ‘green top’ in Mirpur. A pitch that benefits quick bowling with movement off the wicket will make it very difficult to score freely for Both Bangladesh and Australia, so it’s hard to tell what a good score would be for the side who bats first.
The Aussies having just come off the back of a three-game set in Pakistan should help them despite a 2-1 loss as their players have re-adapted to the format and should be well set to give the Bangladesh batters a torrid time in particular. You have to go all the way back to 2005 for the last time the Tigers beat Australia in an ODI, with the tourists having won 13 of the last 14 encounters between the two nations. This makes backing Australia a sensible play.
