Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bat against Australia
Bangladesh will take the same route as yesterday after Mahmudullah won the toss in the fourth T20I with the home side looking to extended their winning streak which has already secured a series victory.
They are unchanged but Australia have brought in Andrew Tye and Mitchell Swepson for Nathan Ellis and Adam Zampa. Ellis took a hat-trick on his debut last night but has been rested as has Zampa which gives Swepson his first chance of the tour.
Neither side has found batting easy in this series but Bangladesh have had somebody different play a crucial hand in each game while Australia have continued to lean heavily on Mitchell Marsh. A lot of the top order are running out of chances to make a claim for a World Cup berth.
Bangladesh 1 Mohammad Naim, 2 Soumya Sarkar, 3 Shakib Al Hasan, 4 Mahedi Hasan, 5 Mahmudullah (capt), 6 Afif Hossain, 7 Shamim Hossain, 8 Nurul Hasan (wk), 9 Nasum Ahmed, 10 Mustafizur Rahman, 11 Shoriful Islam
Australia 1 Matthew Wade (capt & wk), 2 Ben McDermott, 3 Mitchell Marsh, 4 Moises Henriques, 5 Alex Carey, 6 Ashton Turner, 7 Dan Christian, 8 Ashton Agar, 9 Andrew Tye, 10 Mitch Swepson, 11 Josh Hazlewood
