Bangladesh and Australia will play the second game in the five-match series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium. On Tuesday, the Tigers won their first T20I against the powerful Aussies, making it a historic day.
After Nasum Ahmed’s match-winning spell, Bangladesh triumphed by 23 runs. After being challenged to chase down 132, the visitors were bowled out for 108. Mitchell Marsh was a lone figure for Australia, whose batting severely lacked potency in the opening match.
Weather
The temperature will remain in the mid-twenties in Dhaka. The temperature will vary from 27 to 33 degrees Celsius, with showers in the morning.
Pitch
The Shere Bangla National Stadium’s pitch is a little sluggish. The spinners are likely to play a significant role, as they did in the opening game. During the match, speed bowlers may be seen bowling a lot of slower balls.
