Probable best batsman of the match

Mitchell Marsh– Australia

Mitchell Marsh has been exceptional thus far in the five-match T20I series. In the first two matches in the series, he got scores of 45. In the third game, he notched his maiden half-century, though it came in a losing cause. In the fourth match of the series, he got out for 11, but he remains the leading run-scorer.

Probable best bowler of the match

Mustafizur Rahman- Bangladesh

Mustafizur Rahman has been excellent with the ball in hand. There have been times when the Australian batters had no clue of how to play him. In four matches, the left-arm pacer has picked seven wickets at an economy rate of 3.56. His cutters have generated a serious amount of bite. Even in death overs, he has given nothing away.

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