Australia’s white-ball tour of Bangladesh closes with a three-match T20I series at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on 17, 19 and 21 June 2026. It comes off the back of a chastening ODI leg in which a heavily-rotated Australia lost the 50-over series 2-1 to a confident Bangladesh. Below: our series preview, the betting angles, the key players and the markets to know — all priced through Australia’s best cricket bookmakers.

How the ODI series went
It was a tour to forget for Australia in the 50-over format. With Mitchell Marsh, Travis Head and the front-line quicks unavailable or rested, a Josh Inglis-led side went down 2-1 to Bangladesh, who were excellent at home. Australia did avoid a whitewash with a heart-stopping one-wicket win in the dead-rubber third ODI in Mirpur, where Cooper Connolly’s 149 (Player of the Match) and Adam Zampa’s nerveless finish got them home with three balls to spare, after Shoriful Islam had ripped through the middle order with six wickets. The takeaway for the T20Is: Bangladesh’s spinners and slow, low Chattogram surfaces are a genuine leveller, and this Australian squad is far from full-strength.
T20I Series Preview & Best Bets
Even with a much-changed squad, Australia start as series favourites — their T20 depth is the envy of world cricket, and the group still features serious match-winners in Tim David, Mitchell Marsh, Josh Inglis, Cameron Green and Adam Zampa. But this is a live series, not a formality. Bangladesh are vastly more dangerous in T20s at home than they were chased down in the ODIs, the Chattogram pitch rewards canny spin and clever pace-off bowling, and the heat and conditions blunt Australia’s edge.
Our leading angles for the series:
- Australia to win the series — the sensible favourite, but the price is shorter than the contest warrants given the squad and conditions.
- Bangladesh in any single game — genuine each-game value at home; back them to nick at least one, particularly under lights on a used surface.
- Tim David top Australia T20I runscorer — the most destructive striker in the squad and ideally suited to a series likely to feature par-ish totals.
- Adam Zampa top Australia wickets — spin is king in Chattogram and Zampa is Australia’s premier white-ball tweaker.

Key Players to Watch
Australia
Tim David is the headline act — few hitters in world cricket clear the rope as easily, and a slow surface that brings bowlers into play only sharpens his death-overs value. Mitchell Marsh returns to lead and bats up top, Josh Inglis is in fine touch with the gloves and bat after the ODIs, Cameron Green offers the genuine all-round balance, and Adam Zampa is the bowler most likely to dictate terms through the middle overs.
Bangladesh
Skipper Litton Das sets the tone at the top, while the spin trio Bangladesh deploy at home — backed by the in-form quick Shoriful Islam, fresh off his ODI six-for — gives them a real chance to drag Australia into a grind. On these pitches, Bangladesh’s bowling is the series’ great equaliser.
