BAN vs AUS Prediction, 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update – Australia Tour of Bangladesh, 1st T20I

Preview:

Bangladesh and Australia will play 5 T20I matches here at Mirpur, which will mark the first occasion where these two teams engage in a bilateral T20I series. The Australians will be missing the services of plenty of big names, but they still have a formidable squad.

The Kangaroos might have lost their last T20I series, which was against West Indies, but they will be a confident outfit as they won an ODI series before this tour. On the other hand, Bangladesh are no pushovers either, as they defeated Zimbabwe in their last series.
