About Bangladesh vs Australia 2021
Australia and Bangladesh will play a 5-match T20I series to prepare for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup in the UAE and Oman. Bangladesh are a part of the qualifying stage of the tournament, whereas the Aussies have earned a direct entry into the Super 12 stage.
Australia recently lost a 5-match T20I series against the West Indies. The Aussies will be keen to get some momentum on their side ahead of the global event in the Middle East. Meanwhile, the Bangladesh cricket team will try to up its confidence by recording wins against Australia.
The visitors are not at full strength, which is why the home team can take advantage of the conditions in Dhaka and stun them in the 5-match T20I series.
