BAN vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: Bangladesh will take on Australia in the third game of the five-match T20I series at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka on Friday. Bangladesh won two matches in a row against Australia for the first time as they defeated the visitors by five wickets in the second T20I on Wednesday. Australia could only manage an under-par 123/5 after batting first and the hosts chased it down with eight balls to spare.
The bowlers from both the sides have performed well by taking advantage of the friendly Mirpur track. However, runs have been tough to come by except for the likes of Mitchell Marsh, Shakib Al Hasan and Afif Hossain.

Pitch Report: The pitch for the first two matches have been quite difficult to play on with the ball not coming onto the bat as players would wish for. Spinners and pacers who bowl cutters will succeed once again.
Brief score of the last result at the venue: Bangladesh (123/5) beat Australia (121/7) by five wickets on 04 Aug 2021.
WICKET-KEEPER: Nurul Hasan BATSMEN: Moises Henriques, Mohammad Naim Sheikh, Josh Philippe ALL-ROUNDERS: Shakib Al Hasan, Mitchell Marsh, Afif Hossain, Mahedi Hasan BOWLERS: Shoriful Islam, Josh Hazlewood, Mustafizur Rahman
Australia don’t seem to have any answers to Bangladesh in this series. While they have bowled well, runs have been hard to come by with the likes of Shakib Al Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam and others bowling superbly. Bangladesh are in line to seal the series on Friday.
