The Kangaroos are hurt. But they get even more dangerous and we all saw that in their recently concluded Bangladesh tour.

The Aussies made a good comeback after historic first Test defeat against Bangladesh. However, they are playing sans their best pacer Mitchel Starc, who is nursing an injury back home. In Another blow, Finch also ruled out of the series after an injury and he will be replaced by Handscomb.
