Bangladesh v Australia Third ODI Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

Australia will be desperate to try and avoid a series sweep when they face hosts Bangladesh in the third and final one-day international at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Sunday.

The Baggy Green were beaten by 86 runs DLS in a rain-affected series opener, before going down by five wickets DLS in match two, which was only slightly affected by the inclement weather, which could strike again on Sunday.

Those losses extended the Tigers' superb record at Mirpur, where they have only lost two of the last 10 ODIs at the venue, while their overall record stands at two defeats in 11 matches, in contrast to the Aussies' five losses in their last six one-day internationals.

Bet Builder - Najmul Hossain Shanto top team batter, Runs at fall of 1st wicket under 22.5 & Most sixes - Australia @ 15.00

Bangladesh v Australia Prediction

Best Bet: Cameron Green most team sixes @ 5.00

Australia's batting order has struggled to make an impact against a Tigers bowling attack full of confidence and full of testing variations and that may not change much in the series finale.

All-rounder Cameron Green has made scores of 52 and 25 and cleared the boundary three times across those two knocks, with one six in his half-century and two in the second ODI making him joint leading six-hitter for the Baggy Green both times.

Green was also joint highest six-hitter in one of the three ODIs in Pakistan, while he smashed no fewer than eight maximums in an unbeaten century against South Africa just under ten months ago.

Alternative Bet: Wicket in 1st over - Australia @ 9.00

Poor starts have blighted Australia in their ODI series in both Pakistan and now Bangladesh, with wickets lost in the first over of the last four matches the Baggy Green have played.

The second one-dayer in Pakistan saw Alex Carey dismissed by the first ball of the match, before Matt Short fell to the second delivery of the decider in that 2-1 series reverse.

Short followed up by being bowled by Taskin Ahmed by the first ball of Australia's reply in the first ODI in Bangladesh, before the tourists managed to lose three wickets without a run on the board in the decisive second one-dayer in Mirpur.

The unfortunate Short went to the fourth ball of the game on Thursday, before Cooper Connolly and Matt Renshaw departed for ducks in the second over of the match, bowled by Mustafizur Rahman.

 Bangladesh v Australia Bet Builder Tip

• Najmul Hossain Shanto top team batter

• Runs at fall of 1st wicket under 22.5

• Most sixes - Australia
  

  Pays 15.00

Najmul Hossain Shanto has been in sparkling form for Bangladesh in recent times, especially in one-day internationals, with his last four knocks being 50 not out and 105 against New Zealand, before 67 and 41 in this series.

The second part of this Bet Builder adds in the first wicket of the match falling under the 22.5-run mark. Australia's early-over struggles have already been highlighted already, while the Tigers' first wicket has fallen at 5 and 0 in the first two matches of this series.

Finally, despite all of their problems, notably with the bat, Australia continue to win the most sixes match bet, having done so on Thursday and in the final two games of the preceding ODI series in Pakistan.
