Cricket Free Tips | Bangladesh vs Australia, 2021: 4th T20I

The 4th T20I  between Bangladesh and Australia will be held at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. The match will be kicked off on 7th August (Saturday) at 18:00 (GMT+6).    

In this five-match T20I series, Bangladesh has already taken an unassailable 3-0 lead. The Australians have been outplayed in all departments of the series thus far, and the fourth T20I will be a chance for them to win for the first time on the tour.

In the third match, fans witnessed a competitive contest, but the old story of Australian batsmen struggling against spin bowling remained. With a target of 128, Australia fell short by 10 runs. Mitchell Marsh was the lone performer with the bat for the team, scoring Australia’s first half-century of the tour.

On the other hand, Bangladesh has performed fantastic thus far. The team gained their 1st series win against Australia in any format. So far in the series, their bowlers have been all over the Australian batsmen. With some precision spin bowling, they’ve defended low totals.

Weather
The weather forecast for Dhaka on Saturday does not look promising. Due to rain, the third match started late, and clouds are forecast to shower again on match day. There’s a high probability of rainfall in the afternoon, and the sky will be gloomy the rest of the day. Throughout the match, there may be multiple rain interruptions.

Pitch
The Shere Bangla National Stadium’s pitch is on the slower side. The sluggish condition of the wicket helped the hosts, as both sides relied heavily on spinners. As the batsmen struggle to counter off-pace deliveries, the pacers will use a number of slow balls.
