Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
Team News
After victory in the first test, Bangladesh are likely to be unchanged for the second match.
Key Players
Shakib-al-Hasan lived up to his billing as the world's best all-rounder with his starring role in the first test. Explosive opener Tamim Iqbal continued his good form too, with half-centuries in each innings to steer Bangladesh to victory.
Recent Form
Having drawn with Sri Lanka last time out, and drawn in their most recent home series against England, the very worst Bangladesh can expect after their first-test win is another drawn series.

Australia Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Josh Hazlewood will miss the second test through injury, but Australia have resisted the urge to call up Mitchell Starc, who is currently resting. Steve O'Keefe has replaced Hazlewood in the squad, with Australia now having to decide whether to play the spinner, or call James Pattinson into the XI.
Key Players
Captain Steve Smith scored three centuries in India’s most recent test series, in India, but it was David Warner in the runs in the first test in Bangladesh as he smashed a second-innings century. Nathan Lyon continued his good form with the ball, meanwhile - the spinner took three wickets in the first innings and six in the second.
Recent Form
Australia pushed India all the way in their most recent test series, before succumbing to a 2-1 series defeat, but their first-test defeat in Bangladesh means they are now fighting to avoid consecutive series losses.
Australia Predicted Playing 11
-
Warner, Renshaw, Khawaja, Smith, Handscomb, Maxwell, Wade, Agar, Cummins, Lyon, Pattinson

Australia remain favourites to win the second test, though the odds have gone up compared to the first test.
Australia are 2.00 to win with betfair, whereas the hosts are a best price of 3.75 with Betfair.
Shakib-al-Hasan is 4.5 to be Bangladesh’s best bowler, which after his ten-wicket haul in the first test looks a great bet.
Bangladesh vs Australia 2nd Test Prediction
Australia suffered a humbling defeat in the first test, but there were enough positive signs - David Warner's batting and Nathan Lyon's bowling, for example - to suggest they can bounce back in the second test.
Final Verdict: Back Australia to beat Bangladesh at 2.05 with bet365 and 2.00 with betfair.
