Australia have been in an undefeated streak across all formats of cricket and have managed to become a powerhouse in this generation of cricket. Australia and Bangladesh have faced each other five times in the past and the Aussies have taken the win every single time. Bangladesh have been in good form this season, emerging second in their group stage and making cricket enthusiasts wonder if the sixth face off would produce a different result?
Ahead of Friday’s Australia vs Bangladesh Super 8 contest in Antigua, here are a few things you need to know.
Pitch Report : The pitch has favored fast bowlers in the previous matches, though batters also have a advantage because of the good bounce it presents. However, Antigua has the reputation of being a low scoring ground and no team has reached a 200 total in the past T20I seasons.
Weather Forecast : The chance of rain is expected to be 59 per cent on the day of the match. Considering the match will be played at night time, the chances of rain seems unlikely.
Australia probable player list : Mitchell Marsh (c), David Warner, Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood, Josh Inglis, Ashton Agar, Cameron Green, and Nathan Ellis.
Bangladesh probable player list : Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Taskin Ahmed, Litton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Shakib Al Hasan, Tawhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah Riyad, Jaker Ali Anik, Tanvir Islam, Shak Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.
