After suffering a humiliating 1-2 defeat in the three-match ODI series in Bangladesh, Australia would like to come up with an improved performance in the three-match T20I series between the two teams, which starts on Wednesday (June 17) in Chattogram. The Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium in Chattogram will host all three 20-over matches, with the first one scheduled to take place on Wednesday from 01:30 PM IST. The next two games will also be played at the same venue.
Mitchell Marsh, who was in red-hot form for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026, is fit and available for the T20I series. The right-handed top-order batter will captain the visitors and also open the innings alongside Josh Inglis, who captained Australia in the ODI
series.
Tim David, Cooper Connolly, Cameron Green, and Adam Zampa will also be key players for the Australian team.
On the other hand, Bangladesh will play under the leadership of wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das. The hosts have included pacer Nahid Rana in their T20I squad, and the young fast bowler will look to make life difficult for the Australian batters in the upcoming three matches.
