Bangladesh Clinch First ODI Series Win Over Australia

The hosts sealed a 2-0 series victory through potent seam bowling, Mosaddek Hossain’s match returns and rain-driven DLS revisions that exposed flaws in a rotated Australian side.

Against Bangladesh in Mirpur, Australia lost their first three wickets before scoring a run for the first time in men’s ODIs.

Overview

  • Bangladesh completed an unassailable 2-0 lead to win the three-match ODI series on Thursday by chasing a DLS revised target in the second game and finishing with six overs to spare.
  • In the second match Australia were reduced to three wickets for no runs, Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed took key wickets, and Bangladesh reached the revised target of 192 (41 overs) to clinch the series.
  • The series opened with Bangladesh’s first ODI victory over Australia in 21 years when Mosaddek Hossain’s unbeaten 86 and Nahid Rana’s 4-41 helped the hosts to an 86-run DLS win after rain curtailed Australia’s chase.
  • Australia toured with a rotated, partly depleted squad and repeatedly spilled chances and missed catches, a failing highlighted by acting captain Josh Inglis after the opening loss and visible in both games.
  • The result gives Bangladesh tangible momentum at home, marks a milestone in their one-day record against a top team, and is likely to prompt scrutiny of Australia’s selection and white-ball preparation ahead of upcoming fixtures.
