BAN vs AUS 5th T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

The final game of the five-match T20I series will be played between Bangladesh and Australia on Monday, August 9. The scheduled fixture will be played at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. I have managed to assort the best betting tips from the BAN vs AUS head-to-head match.

Australia's tour of Bangladesh seemed to be going on a terrible trajectory as far as Australia were concerned, until they registered their first win in Saturday's match. Australian all-rounder Dan Christian destroyed the Bangladeshi bowling line up and smashed 39 off 15 balls. On the other hand, Mitchell Swepson took charge with the ball and played an important role in restricting runs by the host. Chasing 105 for victory, Australia edged out Bangladesh by three wickets for a consolation Twenty20 victory in yesterday’s game.

Bangladesh, who sealed their first ever series win over Australia after winning the third match on Friday, lead the five-match series 3-1. Pace bowler, Josh Hazlewood did the early damage after sending back Soumya Sarkar for eight and star batsman, Shakib Al Hasan got caught for 15. With the series already gone, the Kangaroos will be playing for their pride in the remaining one match. However, Bangladesh would want to hold the trophy after winning for one final time in the series. As the teams assemble for the final encounter before the Aussies head home, I have hand picked the top three BAN vs AUS betting tips for you.

BAN vs AUS Player Bet:

The oddsmakers have come up with a number of player odds for the decider match and I have picked the top three BAN vs AUS player betting odds for you as mentioned below. Take a look!

Mitchell Marsh To Score Over 20.5 Runs

If you have been following my betting tips for the ongoing series since the opening game, I have been strongly rooting for Mitchell Marsh and he has not failed to deliver apart from his most recent outing on saturday. In the fourth T20I series where Australia registered their first win, Marsh made a mere contribution of 11 runs. Despite this we cannot be oblivious of the fact that he has been phenomenal throughout the series. With Australia's dismal performance in the current tour, Marsh has served as a lone performer withstanding the Bangladeshi bowling attack./span>

The middle-order batsman has emerged as the top run scorer of the series with 152 runs from the 4 matches played at a decent average of 38.00. This might not be his personal best, as Marsh is also among the list of the top two Australian batsmen with most T20I runs in the last one year. The right-handed batter has scored 477 runs from the 15 innings at an average of 36.69. The middle-order Kangaroo batsman earned Australia its first half-century in the third match. Thereafter his scores in the four matches are - 45, 45, 51 and 11. The hard-hitting all rounder has played 29 T20I matches in his career and racked 696 runs from them. This averages at 29.00. Dafabet.com has offered betting odds of 1.87 for Mitchell Marsh To Score over 20.5 runs in the BAN vs AUS match prediction.

Shakib Al Hasan To Score Over 17.5 Runs

Let us start with the Bangladeshi all-rounder next, who has contributed well with both the bat and ball for the host so far. He is the highest run scorer among Bangladeshi batsmen this tournament, with 103 runs from 4 matches at an average of 25.75. In Saturday's match, Shakib Al Hasan was dismissed for 15 runs by Hazlewood but he has scored above 17 runs in three of the four matches played against Australia in this series. In the series opening he put up 26 runs which was succeeded by 36 and 26 runs in the following two matches.

The top order Bangladeshi batter has played 83 T20I matches in his career and piled 1707 runs from them at an average of 23.70. Shkib Al Hasan has played 8 T20I innings for Australia in his career and holds an average of 30.75 from them with 246 runs and has scored above 17 runs in six of these games. From the 35 matches that Hasan has played at home, he has racked 781 runs from them and averages 27.89. He has generally played for the team in the third position and scored 773 runs from 28 matches averaging at 30.92. Dafabet.com has offered betting odds of 1.87 for Shakib Al Hasan to score over 17.5 runs in the BAN vs AUS head-to-head match.

Soumya Sarkar To Score Under 13.5 Runs

Lastly, I have another Bangladeshi batsman who is the opener for his side and has been consistently underperforming in recent times. Soumya Sarkar might have been the top two T20I batsman for Bangladesh but his underachievement has been a clear display in the ongoing series. He has a batting average of 19.71 from the 7 matches played in the 2021 season with mere 138 runs. Sarkar also holds a pretty dismal record against Australia. He has played 5 T20I matches against them to score just 13 ( 8, 2, 0, 2 and 1) runs and inefficiently averages 2.60 from them. In the four matches played till date, Sarkar has not been able to even it above 10 runs. In one of the matches against Aussies he was dismissed for a duck. Dafabet.com has been offered betting odds of 1.87 for Soumya Sarkar to score 13.5 runs in the BAN vs AUS match prediction.
