Bangladesh vs Australia Prediction, 1st T20I– Who will win today’s match between BAN vs AUS?

Australia's tour of Bangladesh will conclude with a three-match T20I series. The visitors will take on the home side in the first T20I on Wednesday, June 17, at Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium, Chattogram. 

The T20 World Cup 2021 champions are coming off a disappointing ODI series defeat against Bangladesh, losing the series with a margin of 1-2. On the other hand, Bangladesh will enter the series with immense confidence after a historic ODI leg against the Aussies. 

BAN vs AUS: Match Details

Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium, Chattogram: Pitch Report

The stadium has hosted 37 T20 matches so far, and the average first innings score is 148, which clearly indicates that the pitch is little helpful for the bowlers. The pitch here is known for its true bounce. Few matches between New Zealand and Bangladesh were played at the venue, and they were little high-scoring encounters. So, expect yet another intriguing contest.

BAN vs AUS: Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Cooper Connolly 

The left-hander Cooper Connolly will enter this T20I series with immense confidence after a good ODI series against the same opponents. He is one of Australia's biggest young prospects, and had a terrific IPL 2026 for Punjab Kings. 

Probable Best Bowler: Mustafizur Rahman

The veteran left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman will be the bowler to watch out for in this T20I series. He brings in immense T20 cricket experience under his belt, and had a good ODI series against Australia, where he picked up six wickets with an average of 17.83.
