- This will be the fifth Test contested between these two nations, with Australia bagging victories in each of the previous four. In fact, three of those wins came by margins of more than an innings.
- The Baggy Greens have won only one of their last seven Tests played away from home (D1, L5).
- Bangladesh are on the hunt for back-to-back Test wins for the first time since 2014, having recorded a four-wicket win against Sri Lanka at Colombo in March.
- It's been more than a decade since the most recent clash between these nations; a famous Jason Gillespie double century (201) helping Australia to a win of an innings and 80 runs in April 2006.
- Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal are each set to play their 50th Test for Bangladesh, equalling Habibul Bashar (50) as the third-most capped Test player in the nation's history.
