Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka: Pitch Report

The Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka, is a highly challenging venue for the batters, known for its slow, low, and heavily spin-friendly nature. In 50-over cricket, a first-innings total of 250 to 260 is considered highly competitive, as the pitch gradually slows down and becomes increasingly sluggish in the second innings.

BAN vs AUS: Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Matt Renshaw

The left-hander Matt Renshaw had a decent outing in a three-match series against Pakistan in Pakistan. He amassed 108 runs in just three innings, and was one of Australia’s best batters. He is known for his excellent game against spin bowling, and can be an asset on Dhaka wicket. 

Probable Best Bowler: Nahid Rana

The right-arm pacer had a good series against New Zealand in a three-match ODI home series. He was the leading wicket-taker of the series, picking up eight wickets in just three innings. Bangladesh would want him to carry on the great form.
