BAN vs AUS, 1st T20
Date and Time: 3rd August 2021, at 5:30 PM IST
Venue: Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Dhaka
Pitch Report
A decent batting track awaits the two sides with some turn on offer for the spinners. Initially, the pacers will get some help from the surface, although the batters will look to go on the attack from ball one. The spinners will come into play in the middle overs, given the turn that is expected off the surface. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 160-170 being a good total at the venue.
Today's BAN vs Aus Dream11 match top picks
Wicket-keeper
Matt Wade: Interim captain Matthew Wade is an explosive batsman who looks to take the attack to the bowlers from the word go. Given his experience in subcontinent conditions, Wade would be a brilliant addition to your BAN vs AUS Dream11 team.
Batsmen
Josh Philippe: Young Josh Philippe is all set to open the batting in the absence of regular captain Aaron Finch. Blessed with an eye for a boundary and equally impressive against pace and spin, Philippe could be in for a big series against Bangladesh.
Mohammad Naim: Bangladesh is missing a few key personnel but the emergence of young Mohammad Naim has boded well for the home side. Elegant to watch, Naim should get some quick runs at the top of the order alongside Soumya Sarkar.
All-rounders
Shakib Al Hasan: Star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan was at his best with both the bat and ball against Zimababwe in the white-ball formats. Given his experience and Australia's slightly inexperienced middle-order, Shakib is a must-have in your BAN vs AUS Dream11 team.
Bowlers
Mustafizur Rahman: Mustafizur Rahman has regained some of the zip and nip he was renowned for early in his career. With the ability to nail yorkers at will, Mustafizur should pick up a wicket or two for the home side, delivering valuable points for your fantasy team.
Mitchell Starc: There aren't many better than Mitchell Starc in the white-ball formats. Dangerous with the new ball and effective at the death, Starc is a force to be reckoned with the ball and should be a viable addition to any team.
