Bangladesh enters the three-match T20 series against Australia with renewed confidence after winning the ODI series. The first T20 match begins today at 2 p.m. at the Birshreshtha Flight Lieutenant Sipahi Matiur Rahman Stadium in Chattogram. Bangladesh and Australia have faced each other in 11 T20 matches so far, with Australia winning seven and Bangladesh four. The last time they met in 2021, Bangladesh claimed a 4–1 series victory at home.
Australia is missing several key players, including Travis Head, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Glenn Maxwell, and Cameron Green, with Mitchell Marsh leading a younger squad. Bangladesh’s pace attack, featuring Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Nahid Rana, and Shoriful Islam, remains a major threat. However, Bangladesh captain Liton Das’s participation in the opening match is uncertain due to fitness concerns, while Parvez Hossain Emon is also unwell. Soumya Sarkar has been added to the squad as cover.
Liton Das said the team’s confidence from the ODI series win is a major boost, but emphasized the need to perform well on the day to secure the T20 series.
