BAN vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: Bangladesh will take on Australia in the fifth and final T20I at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka on Sunday. The series has already been won by Bangladesh but Australia did well to pick up a win in the last game. The visitors beat Bangladesh by three wickets on Saturday.
The low-scoring trend in this series didn’t change during the 4th T20I but Bangladesh were the side which got at the wrong end of it. Bangladesh managed to make only 104-9 after choosing to bat first. The target didn’t prove to be easy but Australia somehow got over the line with an over to spare.

Pitch Report: The pitch for the first four 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: Australia (105/7) beat Bangladesh (104/9) by three wickets on 07 Aug 2021.

Bangladesh might have suffered a three-wicket loss in the fourth T20I but they still made a match out of the 105-run defense. The hosts will be expected to come back strong and seal the series with a 4-1 score-line given their bowling strength.
