Australia vs Bangladesh Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 World Cup 2024 Match 44 of the 2024 T20 World Cup and the second game of Group 1 in the Super Eights sees Australia take on Bangladesh at North Sound, Antigua. Australia finished top of Group B in the opening stage of the tournament with Bangladesh ending second in Group D. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on Thursday 20th June at 20:30 local time. Australia went through the entirety of the first round stage without slipping up or dropping points but they were tested by Scotland in their final match last Saturday. That contest should serve them well ahead of this game and we expect them to be too strong for Bangladesh. After coming into the tournament with many pundits writing them off, Bangladesh have lost only one game with that defeat a tight four run loss against South Africa in New York. With a competitive record against Australia, we expect Bangladesh to approach this match with confidence. Australia vs Bangladesh Match Toss PredictionAlthough the first three games at this venue in the 2024 T20 World Cup were all won by the team fielding first, the last two have been won by the side batting first. Therefore, our prediction is that both skippers will arrive at the toss wanting to bat first. Australia vs Bangladesh Pitch ReportWe saw 370 runs and ten wickets at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on Wednesday with batters having the upper-hand. That said, pace bowlers who bowled accurately and with high level slower balls were able to be successful. We expect a par score on this pitch to be around 180. Antigua Weather ReportIt will be a humid evening in Antigua throughout Thursday evening with plenty of cloud cover and only a very small chance of rain interruptions. The temperature will not drop below 27 degrees. Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for Australia vs Bangladesh, T20 World Cup 2024

Read on as we preview this match which gets underway at 19:30 local time in St Vincent. Bangladesh have turned their fortunes around from mid-May when they were losing their bi-lateral series with USA 2-0. They won the final match of that series and have been impressive ever since. They will fancy their chances of recording another win in this game. It was very nearly a Friday night to remember for Nepal as they were beaten by only one run by South Africa in Kingstown.

“Two more metres further and…”: SA captain Markram reflects on completing Mahmudullah’s catch in final over

New York [US], : South Africa captain Aiden Markram opened up about the game-changing moment of their 4-run win over Bangladesh and stated that two meters could have led to a completely different result. “Two more metres further and…”: SA captain Markram reflects on completing Mahmudullah’s catch in final over In a low-scoring chase of 114, Markram had gambled on experienced spinner Keshav Maharaj to save 11 runs off the final over. Date mein Crickit, late mein Crickit! Catch the game anytime, anywhere on Crickit. Find out how Two balls were left, Mahmudullah was on strike and Bangladesh needed six runs to seal the game. The ball slipped out of Maharaj’s hands and it became a full toss. Looking at the opportunity, Mahmudullah’s eyes sparkled and he made a full swing but Markram took a sharp catch just a couple of meters away from the boundary line. The leaping effort from the skipper put South Africa in firm control and they went on to take away an unlikely win. Markram talked about playing the game on a knife’s edge which made the entire affair in an entertaining clash. “You’re always pretty nervous in the final over in a game like that. It was always on a knife’s edge, it can make you mentally tired. Sometimes you get on the right side, sometimes not, but it’s very entertaining,” Markram said in the post-match presentation. “19.5 could’ve gone anywhere, could’ve gone two more metres further and we’d have had a different conversation. Like I mentioned, a few things went our way today, very fortunate on that to get on the right side,” he added. While defending a low score, Markram revealed that their game plan was to take the game to the final over on a surface that aided the pacers. “Depending on the situation, you want to drag the game as long as you can, so you use quicks to attack. Today was one of those days where the seamers were bowling well, we wanted to drag it to the end where anything could happen in the last over,” he added. After another woeful performance with the bat, David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen forged a 79-run stand to propel the Proteas to 113/6. “We’re putting Klaasen and Miller under pressure but they’ve been exceptional. They’ve gone back-to-back with crucial partnerships, and got us to a score that’s lucky enough to win but still one we could defend. Fantastic for Klaasy to get back in form,” he concluded. South Africa have now registered three consecutive wins in the ongoing campaign. They are just one step away from moving into the Super 8 phase of the tournament.

South Africa vs Bangladesh Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 World Cup 2024 South Africa are targeting their third win in a row at the 2024 T20 World Cup when they take on Bangladesh, themselves looking for their second victory on the bounce, at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York. This is Match 21 of the tournament with this game part of Group D. Read on as we preview this match which gets underway on Monday 10th June at 10:30am. South Africa looked like they were going to be beaten by the Netherlands for the third time in a row at a Cricket World Cup or T20 World Cup when they fell to 12/4 when chasing 104 to win. However, they have some character and talent in their team and they got over the line which will serve them well ahead of this match. There have been many negative stories written about Bangladesh over the last couple of weeks after they lost their first two T20Is in the three match series against USA. However, they won the final match in that series before beating Sri Lanka and they will fancy their bowlers to cause South Africa problems in this game. South Africa vs Bangladesh Match Toss PredictionAhead of Sundayโ€™s games, batting first at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium has seen only one of three teams win. Therefore, we predict that both captains will want to field first ahead of this match. South Africa vs Bangladesh Pitch ReportThe groundsmen have been busy on this pitch, removing any grassy areas and trying to make it a bit more batter friendly. However, particularly with the new ball, it is still a very tough place to bat and any total over 155 will be very hard to chase down. New York Weather ReportAccording to the weather forecast, it will be a dry and warm late morning and afternoon in New York. The temperature will be in the mid-twenties with only a small amount of cloud cover.

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 World Cup 2024 Match 15 of the 2024 T20 World Cup sees Sri Lanka take on Bangladesh on Friday evening in Dallas, Texas. Sri Lanka were bowled out for their lowest T20I total against South Africa and lost by 6 wickets with 22 balls remaining in Match 4. For Bangladesh, this is their first game of the tournament. The match gets underway at the Grand Prairie Stadium at 20:30 local time on June 7th. Although it was a very tough opening fixture and they did not do themselves justice with the bat, there have been plenty of neutral observers who think Sri Lanka had a very hard job batting first on that pitch in New York. They will be looking to start again and put that game behind them in this match. After losing the series to USA, plenty of pundits wrote off Bangladeshโ€™s chances straight away for this tournament. However, they have some excellent stroke-players in their batting order and if Mustafizur Rahman can bowl at his best then he can be unplayable. Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Match Toss PredictionThe first two matches at the Grand Prairie Stadium in this tournament were won by the team batting second and once again in the third match, USA won after a Super Over but also fielded first. We predict that both captains will want to field first in this game. Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Pitch ReportThe pitch is a little two-paced in Dallas but there will still be plenty of opportunities for six-hitting for batters who are in good form. Spinners are unlikely to get much turn from the surface at the Grand Prairie Stadium and a par score will be around 175-180. Dallas Weather ReportAccording to the weather forecast, it will be hot throughout this contest on Friday evening in Dallas. The temperature will be at 30 degrees at the start of the game before dropping to 28 later on and there is no chance of rain interrupting.

T20 World Cup Group D Preview: Bangladesh-Sri Lanka Battle Resumes, South Africa Aim To Impress

T20 World Cup Group D Preview: Bangladesh-Sri Lanka Battle Resumes, South Africa Aim To Impress

Dubai : Former ICC Men’s T20 World Cup champions Sri Lanka find themselves in Group D alongside South Africa, Bangladesh, Netherlands and Nepal for the upcoming tournament. This group promises thrilling matches with rivals Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, South Africa and Netherlands pitted against one another. While Nepal gears up for their second appearance in the marquee event, the group boasts no clear-cut favourite with history bearing witness that each team carries the potential to beat the other. Let’s run through the teams in this group and what we can expect from them. Bangladesh: Bangladesh enters the T20 World Cup with a bit of uncertainty as they continue to look for their strongest XI. Experienced opener Litton Das has been out of form of late with an average of 13.16 this year in six matches. Although teammate Tawhid Hridoy is confident that Das will make a strong comeback in the tournament. Another concern is the injury to vice-captain Taskin Ahmed and his fitness will be monitored prior to Bangladesh’s first contest against Sri Lanka on 7 June after he suffered a side strain before the final match of the recent series against Zimbabwe. The Tigers have backed experience. Other than Das, they have former Bangladesh skippers Mahmudullah and Shakib Al Hasan who can provide Najmul Hossain Shanto much-needed support as he undertakes his first ICC tournament as the new captain. Squad: Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Taskin Ahmed (Vice Captain), Litton Kumer Das, Soumya Sarkar, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Shakib Al Hasan, Tawhid Hridoy, Mahmud Ullah Riyad, Jaker Ali Anik, Tanvir Islam, Shak Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib. Travelling reserves: Afif Hossain, Hasan Mahmud Fixtures: 7 June: Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, Dallas 10 June: South Africa vs Bangladesh, New York 13 June: Bangladesh vs Netherlands, St. Vincent 16 June: Bangladesh vs Nepal, St. Vincent Players to watch out for: In conditions that are expected to be slow with some assistance from spinners, Mustafizur Rahman’s skill set including deceptive off-cutters can turn out to be useful. Mustafizur has time and again proven to be a match-winner for Bangladesh. His control in the middle overs and effectiveness in the final overs with a recovering Taskin Ahmed make him a priceless inclusion. Nepal: Nepal will feature a young side at the T20 World Cup, with 21-year-old Rohit Paudel leading the team as captain. Paudel’s recent form against West Indies A in the lead up to the tournament is a big positive with scores of 112, 71*, and 82 in the series. Gulshan Jha, who appeared at the U19 World Cup earlier in the year, along with 19-year-old Pratis GC are the other young stars expected to bring fireworks. Sompal Kami, the fast bowling all-rounder, is the sole player from Nepal’s inaugural 2014 squad to feature in the 2024 edition, with veteran Karan KC joining him as the team’s senior member. This will mark Nepal’s second appearance in the tournament making them the least experienced side in the group. Squad: Rohit Paudel (c), Aasif Sheikh, Anil Kumar Sah, Kushal Bhurtel, Kushal Malla, Dipendra Singh Airee, Lalit Rajbanshi, Karan KC, Gulshan Jha, Sompal Kami, Pratis GC, Sundeep Jora, Abinash Bohara, Sagar Dhakal, Kamal Singh Airee Fixtures: 4 June: Netherlands vs Nepal, Dallas 11 June: Sri Lanka vs Nepal, Florida 14 June: South Africa vs Nepal, St. Vincent 16 June: Bangladesh vs Nepal, St. Vincent Players to watch out for: The latest entrant in the six sixes club, Dipendra Singh Airee, comes in with a hard-hitting reputation. Dipendra bludgeoned six sixes in the ACC Men’s T20I Premier Cup clash against Qatar becoming only the third men’s player to do so in T20Is after Yuvraj Singh (2007) and Keiron Pollard (2021). He also is the current record holder of the fastest T20I fifty. The right-handed batter achieved this feat in nine balls, breaking Yuvraj’s record of 12 deliveries. The 24-year-old’s contribution in the middle overs can help Nepal put up a strong challenge in the group. Netherlands: The Netherlands have often brought the element of surprise in an ICC tournament. They have the edge over Proteas, beating them in the last two ICC Men’s tournaments – in the 2022 T20 World Cup and the 2023 Cricket World Cup. They will face South Africa again on 8 June in New York with the aim to complete a hat-trick of wins. 20-year-old Michael Levitt has found a place in the absence of Colin Ackermann after an impressive hundred against Namibia earlier this year. The Dutch have restored their core players for this edition with captain Scott Edwards, Bas de Leede, Logan van Beek, Max O’Dowd, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Vikram Singh and Wesley Barresi bringing the experience. Squad: Scott Edwards (c), Aryan Dutt, Bas de Leede, Daniel Doram, Fred Klaassen, Logan van Beek, Max O’Dowd, Michael Levitt, Paul van Meekeren, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Teja Nidamanuru, Tim Pringle, Vikram Singh, Viv Kingma, Wesley Barresi. Reserve: Kyle Klein Fixtures: 4 June: Netherlands vs Nepal, Dallas 8 June: Netherlands vs South Africa, New York 13 June: Bangladesh vs Netherlands, St. Vincent 16 June: Sri Lanka vs Netherlands, St. Lucia Players to watch out for: Bas de Leede has been instrumental for the Netherlands with both bat and ball. For his impressive performance last year, de Leede was awarded with the ICC Men’s Associate Cricketer of the Year. However, the 24-year-old all-rounder has played little T20I cricket of late, with his recent appearances in the tri-series with Scotland and Ireland being his first matches in the shortest format since 2022 at the most recent edition of the T20 World Cup. De Leede was one of the Netherlands’ best at the event where he finished as their leading wicket-taker with 13 scalps. South Africa: Perhaps the strongest side in this group and the tournament, South Africa have put together a strong squad. The batting line-up consists of experienced Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller and Reeza Hendricks who can bludgeon bowling attacks with Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs…

T20 WC Warm-Up: Chance To Test Track And India's Second Pace Option

T20 WC Warm-Up: Chance To Test Track And India’s Second Pace Option

Yashasvi Jaiswal will aim to add his bit to the combination conundrum with a handy contribution while Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj need to put their best foot forward during India’s only T20 World Cup warm-up game against Bangladesh ahead of their tournament opener on June 5. With all 15 cricketers being regular playing XI members of their respective IPL franchises, the team is certainly not short on game time but an assortment of 15 high- calibre players and finding that perfect combination will be key to ending India’s 13-year global trophy drought. In the warm-up game, it is expected that save for Virat Kohli, who is expected to touch down some time before the practice game, all other 14 players will be given a go as it doesn’t have an official status. It will be an opportunity to check everyone’s rhythm after most of the core team members enjoyed a two-week break. There will be two areas where skipper Rohit Sharma and outgoing head coach Rahul Dravid need to take a judicious call. Even if Jaiswal is in good nick, how to fit him in the side will be an issue as it would mean keeping a power-hitter like Shivam Dube out of the playing XI. It is a foregone conclusion that Jaiswal might have to sit out as it would not only allow Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to open but could also open the door for Dube at the back end of the tournament. “Shivam Dube is a six-hitting machine. He can be the ‘x-factor’ in the T20 World Cup. But if Shivam has to be in the XI, then you can’t play Yashasvi. Rohit has to take that call and I prefer both pace-bowling all-rounders in the XI. If Shivam plays, he can take on the opposition wrist spinners in the latter half,” Suresh Raina, one of India’s premier T20 batters of his time, said on Friday when asked about a possible combination. The second teething problem for India would be to find Jasprit Bumrah’s opening pace-bowling partner. Both Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj have blown hot and cold in the IPL and their form has left a lot to be desired. RP Singh, one of the heroes of India’s inaugural edition victory, feels that Hardik Pandya’s four overs will be very important. Besides, he feels that Arshdeep should be the second frontline pacer on the newly-laid drop-in track. Talking about the length to be bowled on the tracks in the US during an early morning start, he felt variations will be important, which make Arshdeep a better bet compared to Siraj. “As per my understanding, there should be a bit of slowness in the wicket. So, the ideal length will be somewhere around just short of good length. There will not be a lot of swing for the bowlers but the bowlers with variations, not only yorkers but also slower ones, leg and off cutters…,” RP replied to a PTI query during a promotional event in Delhi. “These deliveries will be utilised a bit more by Arshdeep, so the success rate will be automatically higher for him and that’s what I understand the wickets in the US,” he explained. Against Bangladesh on a slowish track, it would also be a challenge for the middle-order as to how they deal with Shakib Al Hasan and Mahedi Hasan apart from questions asked by cutter master Mustafizur Rahaman.ย  (This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)

Shakib Al Hasan keen on extending his career โ€“ India TV

Image Source : GETTY Shakib Al Hasan Bangladesh veteran and former captain Shakib Al Hasan had hinted at taking a call on his international career after Champions Trophy 2025 in September last year. But he doesn’t have plans to quite any time soon it seems as the all-rounder is hoping to play another T20 World Cup in 2026 that will take place in India and Sri Lanka. Shakib is one of the only two players (Rohit Sharma being the other), to feature in all nine T20 World Cups and many felt it could be his last mega event in the shortest format. However, the left-handed all-rounder is already entertaining plans to play next T20 World Cup scheduled in 2026. At the same time though, the man is focusing on contributing for Bangladesh in the upcoming tournament and hopes that the team does well in the mega event. “Firstly, when I started I didn’t expect that I will play for so long and secondly since the start of T20 Cricket World Cup till this T20 World Cup, I have participated in all them along with Rohit Sharma. It is a matter of pride for me and I’m happy that I could represent the country. “Me and Rohit Sharma are the only two players who played all the T20 World Cups and I hope that I can play another World Cup but before that would like to perform well in the tournament and Bangladesh can do better than previous T20 tournament,” Shakib said in a video uploaded on BCB’s Facebook page. With his family based there, USA can be called Shakib’s second home and believes Bangladesh can do well in the tournament with conditions favouring them. However, the team is coming off a a shocking series defeat by 2-1 in the three-match series against the USA. “It is alright that USA is my second home but it is difficult to say but I think we will get that because earlier when we played in West Indies and America we did well and we played in Florida we did well,” Shakib further added.
