Australia Trends
- Australia has been way off the levels we expect from this series. They do have 6 first-teamers out but when you look at the 11 that are playing you really expect better from them.
- Alex Carey has been way off with a top score of 11 from the 2 matches. Fellow opener Josh Phillipe has failed to get over 10 runs in an innings so far. No one has really hit our with a good strike rate. The best performance so far is from Michell Marsh with 45 from 42 when batting 3rd in the last match.
- Australia needs to step it up in this match before they lose the series and are embarrassed in the process.

Bangladesh vs Australia Match Prediction
We predicted the Bangladesh win in the opening T20 match as they seemed the team in the better form going into the series. They have outdone our prediction and won the first 2 T20s. We do not think you can keep Australia down for that long and there were signs of improvements in the last match.
Predicted result: Australia to win and make it 2-1 in the series.
