BAN vs AUS Dream11 Team - 1st T20I 2021 | 3 Aug

It’s going to be a very historic tour, this 2021 Australia tour of Bangladesh. Why, you ask? Well, these two sides have met only 4 times in T20 internationals in the last 14 years since the introduction of the format and it’s the first time they’re meeting in a bilateral series. Bangladesh has never beaten this opponent in a T20I but they have in other formats and will be looking to get a win or two here, as they have the home advantage too.

Bangladesh is coming off a 2-1 series win in Zimbabwe while Australia is coming off a T20 series loss against West Indies. The visitors are obviously the strong side but they’ve come here without some key senior players and under a new captain too. For both teams, this series is vital practice before the 2021 T20 World Cup. Keep reading for our complete My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) fantasy preview of the BAN vs AUS 1st T20I…

Stats that matter

Head to head in T20Is, Australia leads 4-0.
Australia – won only 1 of their 4 T20Is here.
Mahmudullah – 477 runs in 20 T20I innings here.
Moises Henriques – 12 runs in 3 ODIs against West Indies.

Bangladesh

The side is being led by Mahmudullah and we’re surely picking this guy in our BAN vs AUS fantasy team because he’s retired from the longest format and is concentrating on the shorter versions only now, and also because he’s the highest run scorer in T20Is at this ground. Mushfiqur Rahim, Tamim Iqbal and Liton Das are out with injuries while Mosaddek Hossain is a good option, who can hit a big shot and bowl at times too.

On these pitches, pick as many slow and spin bowling options that you can while among the pacers, Mustafizur Rahman has done well here with 20 wickets in 15 games, so it’s worth picking him too in your BAN vs AUS Dream11 team. With the bat, one person who showed great composure and hitting ability was Nurul Hasan who bats in the middle order but has a few good shots in his artillery.

Australia

With only 107 runs in 8 games in West Indies, Moises Henriques will struggle to keep his place in the side, so we’re skipping him in our My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) BAN vs AUS fantasy team for the 1st T20I for someone like Alex Carey who will slot into the middle order. One player who was in prime form on that recent tour is Mitchell Marsh who has come of age as an international player and we can’t skip him.

Not many players will have Ashton Turner in their side because he bats way low down in the order but we’ve seen him do well in the IPL which means he won’t struggle much on this pitch and could be a good finisher here for Australia. With the ball, we thought the career of Mitchell Starc was coming to an end but he had a fabulous tour of West Indies and we’re picking him, while we’d like to see Riley Meredith get a game too.
