SERIES FINAL GAME ABOUT TO START

The final game of the 3 match 20/20 Series in Bangladesh vs Australia is about to commence. Australia is leading 1-0 after the first match was a draw. This match is a night match. You'll see it live on Star Sports live on planetcricket so lets get underway.

Australia have won the toss and elected to bat first on a pretty firm normal pitch at Sharjah. Ricky Ponting has stated, "Yes I think there will be plenty of balls bowled that Bangladesh will eventually figure bowling them in the wrong place and we will smash them for four. Its a pretty firm surface."

Todays attendance is expected to reach 20,000 and the umpires are Simon Taufel and Billy Doctrove with the 3rd Umpire Billy Bowden.

These are the teams....

As you can see there are no real changes in both teams, The only one is for Australia Symonds moves up to number six and clarke down to number seven.
