BAN vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report For 2nd ODI Captain, Vice-Captain Choices

BAN vs AUS, 2nd ODI: Bangladesh are on the cusp of a landmark ODI series win as they face Australia in the second game of the three-game rubber on June 11, Thursday at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Mirpur. The hosts couldn’t have asked for a better start as they excelled across departments to outplay Australia decisively and take a series lead of 1-0.

Bangladesh rode on half-centuries from Tanzid Hasan (54), Najmul Hossain Shanto (67) and Mosaddek Hossain (86), while Towhid Hridoy also chipped in with 31 to lift their side to an imposing 284/8 in 50 overs. With the ball, Taskin Ahmed shook Australia in the first ball of the innings as he breached Matt Short’s defences. While the tourists found some resilience from Josh Inglis, Cooper Connolly, Alex Carey and Cameron Green, Bangladesh’s airtight fielding coupled with Nahid Rana bowling rockets hardly gave Australia anything to work with. After starring with the bat, Hossain also worked his magic with the ball with figures of 10-1-37-2, leaving Australia 86 runs short of the target.

Meanwhile, the Men in Yellow are in an urgent need of a turnaround across all departments. Not only was their bowling toothless but also their fielding contributed to their woes. Marnus Labuschagne could cop the axe after an exceedingly lean run in ODIs since his 2023 World Cup final heroics, including going 70 international innings without a hundred. The Men in Yellow could bring back Oliver Peake and must find a way to win and keep the series alive. Nathan Ellis has emerged as the candidate to watch out for the near future.

BAN vs AUS Dream11 Team Prediction 2nd ODI: Fantasy Cricket Tips

Mossadek Hossain: Playing his first ODI after nearly four years, Mossadek Hossain capitalised on the platform set by Tanzid Hasan and Shanto. Hossain expertly took down Australia’s premier spinner Adam Zampa on his way to a 70-ball 86. He also chipped in with a couple of wickets in his 10 tidy overs.

Nahid Rana’s impact: Nahid Rana didn’t start his spell in the best way but ensured to rattle the tourists in his second one. With the lanky speedster consistently clocking speeds of over 140, it kept Australia on their toes and didn’t let them get away. Rana’s in-your-face approach was equally impactful.

Nathan Ellis’ bag of tricks: After missing this year’s IPL, Nathan Ellis has made a strong comeback to professional cricket. The right-arm seamer carried his form from Pakistan to the first ODI against Bangladesh and took figures of 10-1-38-3, thereby emerging as Australia’s lone shining star.

BAN vs AUS Dream11 Prediction 2nd ODI: Captain, Vice-Captain Choices

Captain: Nahid Rana looks to be the perfect candidate as captain, given his penchant for bowling fast and wicket-taking. Having faced Rana only once, Australia will take time to get used to his pace and the awkward bounce he generates.

Vice-captain: Mossadek Hossain will be high on confidence after earning the Player of the Match award for his all-round performance. The spin-bowling all-rounder will be raring to replicate a similar performance on Thursday.
