Australia and Bangladesh are set to cross swords in a five-match T20I series. This will be the first-ever bilateral series between the two countries. Australia will look for an improved show against Bangladesh after a hammering in West Indies where they lost the T20I series 4-1. Bangladesh, on the other hand, enjoyed a decent run in Zimbabwe, winning the Test and T20I series. Both teams are struggling with injuries. Australia were dealt with a massive blow when Aaron Finch was ruled out of the Bangladesh series. For Bangladesh, they will be without the services of Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das. Also, Mustafizur Rahman, Soumya Sarkar and Shakib Al Hasan could miss the initial games of the series. Here is all you need to know about the T20I series.
