Australia, on the other hand, is coming off an embarrassing T20I series 1-4 loss against the West Indies. They will be looking to start the series on a winning note. Matthew Wade has been named the skipper in place of Aaron Finch, who has been ruled out of the series due to a knee injury.

Pitch Report

The surface in Dhaka can be sometimes slow. This brings the bowlers into the equation a lot. The slowness may be profitable for the spinners. A score of around 160 and 170 would be a challenging one for the team bats in the second innings.
