Australia welcome Bangladesh for a Test series that will see the former aiming for a statement win over the touring side.

Teams & Format
The series will see the two nations taking to the field in the Test match format.
A Test match is the oldest and longest format in the game of cricket. A Test will see teams given a total of five days and 20 wickets each split over two innings of 10 wickets. The focus of a Test, as with any other format, is to score the most runs across the course of the match.
The major difference will be that a Test provides teams with longer to bat and bowl. Batters will have a lot of time to build a score, but the changing conditions of both the ball, the pitch and overhead will have a big impact on how the game plays out.
Australia are the better side in this contest, with the nation always sitting at the top of the game or near to the summit. Their blend of world class batters, bowlers and all-rounders help to ensure they are always dangerous, and they will feel they should be winning this series comfortably.
Bangladesh have been able to cultivate a number of strong players with bat and ball. While they have enjoyed more success in the shorter formats, they are also growing in the Test match format. Winning a series in Australia is something even the best sides struggle to do, with this clash more likely a learning experience for this quickly-improving touring party.
Key Players & Prospects
| Player (Team) | Prospects |
|---|---|
| Steve Smith (Australia) | While Australia boast a number of world class bowlers, their ranks of batters has been depleted. A range of retirements has seen their top-order change, making Steve Smith’s run-scoring even more important. |
| Najmul Hossain Shanto (Bangladesh) | Bangladesh’s Test captain, Najmul Hossain Shanto will be crucial with the bat while he needs to make the right tactical choices with the ball. |
