It's really difficult to predict this series. Bangladesh haven't played since the Champions Trophy, and they will be rusty no doubt. It would have also been nice to see an ODI series between the sides at home. Shakib only needs a five wicket haul against the Aussies to complete his haul collections: this is the series where Shakib should give it his all as an all-rounder since it's unlikely he will ever get to play Australia again. It will be interesting to see how the Fizz performs especially on our pitches. I hope Mominul gets to play as he is statistically our best batsman. Sarker has performed well in tests, so you cannot just drop him now that Imrul is fit. Imrul has also performed, so it makes sense to have him at #3 position. Middle-order looks very solid. Bowling attack will seriously test these Australian batsman especially Steven Smith. No need for Taskin in this test series as Australia will prefer to face pace over spin anyday of the week.
