Australia and Bangladesh will be taking on each other in the 44th game of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. The game is scheduled to take place on Friday (June 20) at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua.
It will be the first Super 8s game for both the teams. Australia have been one of the most if not the most impressive teams in the ongoing tournament so far. Everything has clicked for them and they will be looking to make the most of their form and momentum.
The reigning Test and ODI world champions qualified for the Super 8s by winning all of their four group games including one against reigning champions England. In their previous game, Australia came up with a remarkable batting display as they chased down a 180-plus total against Scotland with ease after making a shaky start.
For Bangladesh, the journey has not been smooth so far. In a group that had the likes of South Africa and Sri Lanka in it, not many were expecting the Banlga Tigers to make it to the Super 8s. However, Bangladesh went on to win three of the four group games including one against Sri Lanka to advance to the next stage. They will be starting the game against Australia as firm underdogs and will be hoping to spring a surprise or two.

AUS vs BAN Dream11 Prediction Today:
Captaincy picks:
Travis Head:
Travis Head has been in fine form in the ongoing T20 World Cup. After a highly successful campaign in IPL 2024, the southpaw is enjoying his time in the T20 World Cup as well. He started his campaign with a 12-run knock against Oman before bouncing back with knocks of 34, 34* and 68. With form on his side, Head will be eyeing another good outing.
Tanzim Hasan Sakib:
Tanzim Hasan Sakib is Bangladesh’s leading wicket-taker in the tournament and is fifth in the overall list. He has picked up 9 wickets in 4 games so far. In the previous game against Nepal, Tanzim gave away just 7 runs in his 4 overs and picked up 4 wickets.
Top picks:
Marcus Stoinis:
Marcus Stoinis is enjoying a brilliant campaign with both bat and ball in the ongoing T20 World Cup and will be looking to do well against Bangladesh as well. In three innings, he has hit two fifties in addition to taking six wickets so far.
Towhid Hridoy:
After registering knocks of 40 and 37 against Sri Lanka and South Africa respectively, Towhid Hridoy was out for an identical score of 9 against Netherlands and Nepal. He has been in brilliant form in recent times and Bangladesh will be relying on him to deal with Australia’s formidable attack.
