Overview
- Connolly scored 149 off 133 balls in Dhaka on Sunday to guide Australia to a one‑wicket victory with three deliveries to spare.
- He hit 13 fours and six sixes and said late‑match cramps left his body feeling like it had gone into shock.
- Recalled left‑arm seamer Shoriful Islam took 6-48 and repeatedly threatened the chase but was denied a seventh wicket when a slip catch was dropped by Tanzid Hasan.
- Australia recovered from a 4-5 collapse that left them 9-271 before Adam Zampa drove Taskin Ahmed through the covers for the boundary that sealed the win.
- The result left Bangladesh 2-1 winners in the three‑match ODI series, a home boost that raises questions about Australia’s white‑ball selection and preparation as they move on to T20 fixtures.
