Bangladesh v Australia Second ODI Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

Bangladesh will be full of confidence for the second match of their ODI series against an under-strength Australia, with the Tigers having roared to just their second 50-over victory over the Baggy Green on Tuesday.

The hosts eventually saw off the Aussies by 86 runs under the DLS Method when a thunderstorm ended the match in MIrpur, with Bangladesh having made 8-248 before reducing the tourists to 9-191.

The two teams reconvene at the same venue, the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, on Thursday and the Baggy Green have plenty to ponder as they seek to keep the three-match series alive, having gone down 2-1 in Pakistan before heading across the sub-continent to Bangladesh.

Bangladesh v Australia Prediction

Best Bet: Najmul Hossain Shanto - top team batter @ 4.33

Najmul Hossain Shanto was amongst the runs for the Tigers on Tuesday, making a well-paced 67 from 86 deliveries, as he and Tanzid Hasan laid the platform for Mosaddek Hossain to blast 86 off 70 balls on his return to the team.

Despite being just 27, left-hander Shanto is closing in on 150 appearances for Bangladesh across all formats and his recent ODI form is high class.

Having gone 13 innings without a half-century, Shanto has made scores of 50 not out, 105 and 67 in his last three knocks and can lead the way for the hosts again on Thursday.

Alternative Bet: Runs at fall of 1st wicket - Under 21.5 @ 1.90

The series opener saw Bangladesh put in to bat first after losing the toss and their first wicket went down with 10 runs on the board, as Saif Hassan was brilliantly caught in the slips by Marnus Labuschagne off the bowling of Nathan Ellis.

The Baggy Green's chase got off to an even worse start as Matt Short was clean bowled by Taskin Ahmed off the first delivery of the innings, so siding with the mark of under 21.5 runs for the fall of the first wicket on Thursday seems like a decent option.

Bangladesh v Australia Bet Builder Tip

• Bangladesh to win

• Most sixes - Australia

• Josh Inglis over 22.5 runs

  
  Pays 7.00

Australia, missing a host of players, are finding life hard on what is proving to be a tough tour of first Pakistan and now Bangladesh and the Tigers are in the right sort of form to seal a series win with one match still left to play.

They have lost only two of their last 10 ODIs, while the Baggy Green have lost four of their last five 50-over internationals.

Despite being tipped to be beaten, Australia are still fancied to hit the most sixes in the match, having smacked 20 in their previous two ODI clashes with Bangladesh before being restricted to a mere two on Tuesday.

Finally, skipper Josh Inglis has made scores of 87, 13, 51, 65 and 19 in his last five ODI innings, so he should be able to clear the mark of over 22.5 runs this time around at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.
