Pitch Report
| Details | Information |
|---|---|
| Venue | Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, Dhaka. Same surface or one alongside the first ODI strip. |
| Pitch Type | Bouncier and quicker than the usual Mirpur surface. Seam bowlers found extra pace and carry on June 9. Bangladesh scored 284 batting first. Both captains said the pitch played true for batting. Spin still helps in the middle overs. |
| Average 1st Innings Score | Around 250-285 in 50-over cricket at Mirpur. Bangladesh posted 284 on the same wicket on Tuesday. A target above 280 looks competitive. |
| Pace vs Spin | PACE took most wickets in the first ODI. Nahid Rana, Taskin and Mustafizur for BAN. Bartlett, Ellis and Connolly for AUS. SPIN still matters in the middle overs. Mehidy and Tanvir Islam for BAN. Zampa and Murphy for AUS. |
| Toss Factor | Batting first worked for Bangladesh on Tuesday. They posted 284 and defended with pace. Australia may want to bowl first to test the surface again. Chasing teams have won 7 of the last 10 ODIs at Mirpur. |
| Key Matchup | Nahid Rana vs Josh Inglis. Rana clocked over 150 kph in the first ODI. Inglis takes on pace but the short ball can trouble him. This duel will likely decide Australia’s innings. |
Weather Report
| Details | Information |
|---|---|
| Temperature | 28-33°C (82-91°F). Hot and humid Dhaka day, cooling slightly under lights. |
| Sky | Partly cloudy with sunny breaks early. Cloud build-up by late afternoon. |
| Rain Chance | Around 55-65%. The first ODI ended via DLS after a thunderstorm. Pre-monsoon showers are likely on Thursday too. DLS is in play again. |
| Humidity | High (80-90%). The ball stays heavier and seamers grip the seam better. Spinners get more turn after the first 15 overs. |
| Overall | Rain is the biggest factor. Plan for a short break or a reduced game. Pick extra all-rounders to cover overs lost to DLS. |
BAN vs AUS 2nd ODI Toss Prediction
The toss winner will likely bowl first. Mirpur evenings get heavier with dew. Chasing teams have won 7 of the last 10 ODIs at this ground. Rain may also force a shorter chase under DLS, which favours the side bowling first.
If Mehidy Hasan Miraz (Bangladesh) wins, he will likely bowl first. Open with Taskin and Nahid Rana against Short and Connolly. Bring on Mustafizur in the middle. Mehidy and Tanvir Islam squeeze the spin overs. Restrict Australia under 270. Then Tanzid and Saif Hassan attack Bartlett and Ellis. Shanto and Hridoy chase down the target.
If Josh Inglis (Australia) wins, he will also bowl first. Xavier Bartlett and Nathan Ellis take the new ball at Tanzid and Saif. Cameron Green bowls his seam in the middle. Adam Zampa attacks Shanto and Hridoy with leg-spin. Restrict Bangladesh under 270. Then Short and Connolly open, with Labuschagne, Inglis and Green to chase.
