The Shere Bangla National Stadium will host the fifth and final game of the T20I series between Bangladesh and Australia on August 9. Australia’s first win by three wickets the previous game. After trailing the series 0-3, Australia fought back in the fourth T20I. They bowled first and limited the visitors to 104 in 20 overs. Bangladesh will be looking to recover, and it promises to be another thrilling match.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, struggled to hit the target with the bat. As they battled against the disciplined Australian bowlers, the hitters failed to apply themselves in the middle. The visitors produced a huge comeback after the hosts only got a minimal total on the board.
Weather
Temperatures will range from 27~32°C. The match may be interrupted due to rain.
Pitch
