Australia suffers first ODI loss to Bangladesh in 21 years
Bangladesh defeated Australia by 86 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method in Dhaka, with the hosts scoring 8-284 and restricting Australia to 9-191 before rain ended play. This marks Australia's first ODI loss to Bangladesh since 2005, only the second victory for Bangladesh in 23 ODIs against Australia. The result is significant as it demonstrates Bangladesh's growing competitiveness in international cricket and comes at the start of a three-match ODI series.
Bangladesh recorded a dominant victory over Australia in the first ODI of their series in Dhaka, posting 8-284 after being sent in to bat at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. Australia's response was hampered by poor batting and fielding, reaching only 9-191 from 42.2 overs when lightning and rain ended play, resulting in an 86-run loss under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method. Bangladesh's bowling was led by Nahid Rana with 4-41, while batsmen Tanzid Hasan Tamim (54), Najmul Hossain Shanto (67), and Mosaddek Hossain (86 not out) all contributed half-centuries. For Australia, Cameron Green made 52 not out and Alex Carey contributed 47, but the team struggled with dropped catches and lost wickets in clusters. Acting captain Josh Inglis acknowledged the disappointing performance across all facets, while the second ODI is scheduled for Thursday in Dhaka.
