Bangladesh vs Australia 4th T20I Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between BAN vs AUS?

Preview 

Bangladesh, on Friday, August 6, scripted history after defeating Australia in a bilateral series for the first time. Moreover, the fact that the Tigers romped to the win with two matches left in the five-match series makes the triumph look even more stupendous.

In their previous game, they won by 10 runs to take a 3-0 lead in the series. The hosts racked up 127 on the back of Mahmudullah’s 52 and the bowlers restricted the Aussies.

Mitchell Marsh scored a half-century, but he didn’t get much support from the others. The fourth game is a dead rubber and it will take place on Saturday, August 7 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.

Pitch Report

The pitch in Dhaka has been an extremely tough one for batting. Stroke-making hasn’t been easy by any means. The spinners have succeeded and the pacers have also managed to taste success through changes of pace. Batting first should be the way forward as chasing may again be an arduous task.

Avg score: 148 (47 T20Is in Dhaka)

Probable best batsman of the match

Mitchell Marsh– Australia

Mitchell Marsh has been playing lone hands for Australia since the series against the West Indies. It wasn’t any different in Friday’s game. He notched 51 runs off 47 balls with the help of six fours and one six before getting out to Shoriful Islam. To Marsh’s dismay, he didn’t get the required support from the other batters. In three games, he has scored 141 runs at an average of 47.

Probable best bowler of the match

Mustafizur Rahman- Bangladesh

Mustafizur Rahman has been a tough nut to crack thus far in the series. The fast bowler has picked up five wickets and hasn’t allowed the Aussie batters to dictate terms. The fact that he has bowled at an economy of four shows how dominating until now. In the previous game, the left-arm fast bowler gave away only nine runs in four overs at an economy of 2.25.

Today’s match prediction: Bangladesh to win the match.
