Match Details
BAN vs AUS, 2nd T20
Date and Time: 4th August 2021, at 5:30 PM IST
Venue: Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Dhaka
Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game, the pitch is on the slower side with the batters having to work hard for their runs. Although there wasn't much swing on offer, the pacers did enjoy some success while hitting the hard lengths and varying their pace. The spinners will ideally get some turn off the surface from the start, making it tough going in the middle overs. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 150 being par at the venue.
Today's BAN vs AUS Dream11 match top picks
Wicket-keeper
Alex Carey: Alex Carey had to depart off the very first ball he faced in the first T20I to Nasum Ahmed. However, he is an accomplished player of spin and should find himself back in the runs in today's fixture.
Batsmen
Josh Philippe: Like his opening partner Carey, Philippe was undone by spin early in his innings. However, he too is a good player of spin and showed glimpses of his ability in the previous game. Bank on him to get some quick runs at the top of the order.
Mahmudullah: Bangladesh captain Mahmadullah Riyad got a start in the previous game, but he got out just when he was trying to up the ante. Along with his exceptional finishing skills, Riyad has been in decent form lately and should be a good addition to your BAN vs AUS Dream11 team.
All-rounders
Shakib Al Hasan: Shakib Al Hasan has been in outstanding form with both the bat and ball. He came up with handy contributions in both departments in the previous game and doesn't look like slowing down any time soon on a pitch that should suit his skill-set.
Bowlers
Mustafizur Rahman: Mustafizur Rahman is back to his supreme best with his clever variations once again being the talk of the town. Capable of holding his own with the new ball and in the death overs, Rahman could pick up a wicket or two on a surface on which his cutters will do a bit.
Adam Zampa: Given the nature of the pitch, Adam Zampa should be a must-have in your BAN vs AUS Dream11 fantasy team. Not afraid to toss the ball up, Zampa showed flashes of brilliance in the first game and is definitely one to keep an eye out for in today's match.
