BAN vs AUS Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update for 3rd T20I

Preview:

Bangladesh will take on Australia in the 3^rd T20I on Friday. Bangladesh have made complete use of their home conditions and dominated the slightly inexperienced Australia unit in the first two T20Is. Now, they are on the verge of winning a historic T20I series against Australia.

Australia were completely clueless in the first two T20Is against the quality spin-attack of Bangladesh. They managed to score 108 and 121 runs in the 1^st and 2^nd T20Is respectively, which shows they lack the ability needed to excel on the slow Bangladeshi surface. They are in a must-win situation to stay alive in the series.

Bangladesh vs Australia, 3rd T20I

Venue: Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur

Date & Time: August 6th, 5:30 PM IST and 5:00 PM Local Time

Pitch Report:

It’s a completely slow surface where spinners will play a major role right throughout the match. The ball is holding a bit onto the surface, which is giving the batters a hard time in the middle. Playing straight and rotating the strike rate will be crucial on this surface.

Top Picks ­– Batsmen

21-year-old upcoming star, Mohammad Naim Sheikh faced the Australian bowlers for the first time in his career and scored 39 runs in 2 matches in this series, with the highest score of 30.

Moises Henriques looked comfortable in the 2^nd T20I and attacked the spinners well, until he got out playing across the line when he was on 30 runs. He will be a must pick for your fantasy teams.

Top Picks ­– All-Rounders

Shakib Al Hasan contributed really well with both bat and ball in this series. Bangladesh’s frontline all-rounder has scored 62 runs and has picked up 2 wickets.

Mitchell Marsh has carried his good run of form from the Caribbean into the series as well. He is the only Australian batter who looked comfortable against Bangladeshi bowlers. In 2 matches in this series, he has scored 90 runs at a strike rate of 103.44.

Top Picks ­– Bowlers

Mustafizur Rahman has been a nightmare for the Australian batters in this series. With his unique change-up deliveries, he has caused plenty of problems for the Australians. In 2 matches in this series, he has picked up 5 wickets, with the best figures of 3 for 23.

Despite unfavourable conditions for the quick bowlers, Josh Hazlewood bowled well in both matches in this series. He has picked up 4 wickets, with the best figures of 3 for 24.

Top Picks ­– Wicketkeepers

Nurul Hasan Sohan saved Bangladesh from an early collapse in the 2^nd T20I. He came when the team was struggling at 67 for 5 and his valuable contribution of 22* runs from 21 deliveries helped Bangladesh take a 2-0 lead in the series.
