BAN vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: Bangladesh will take on Australia in the fourth game of the five-match T20I series at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka on Saturday. Bangladesh took an unassailable 3-0 lead with ten-run victory in the third T20I on Friday. With this loss, Australia slipped to their fifth consecutive T20I series defeat.
Bangladesh have been at ease against the visitors Australia even though this series has been a very low scoring one. The likes of Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah and Afif Hossain have somehow managed to help Bangladesh a total above run-a-ball. Thereafter, the bowlers have been dominant. This has been the theme for two of the three matches until now while Bangladesh chased down a 118-run target comfortably in the second game.
