Zimbabwe Seek to Continue Strong Form Against Under-Staffed Bangladesh in T20I Series Opener Zimbabwe will look to build on their recent successes against Australia and Sri Lanka in the 2026 T20 World Cup, where they advanced to the Super Eight stage, as they face Bangladesh in the opening match of a three-game T20I series. The first encounter will take place in Bulawayo on July 15, 2026, as part of Bangladesh’s tour of Zimbabwe. The hosts, led by Sikandar Raza, aim to capitalize on their strong form in the tournament and their previous series victory over Bangladesh in the ODI format. Bangladesh, however, will be significantly weakened for the series. The team has lost key players to the Lanka Premier League, including Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, and Hasan Mahmud, who were granted NOCs to participate in the tournament. Additionally, fast-bowling all-rounder Mustafizur Rahman has been ruled out for four weeks due to a grade 1 hamstring tear and meniscal degeneration in his right knee sustained during the ODI series. This absence leaves Bangladesh with a depleted pace attack, making their challenge against a high-flying Zimbabwe side even steeper. Zimbabwe’s squad includes several players with recent form, such as Brian Bennett, who has been in excellent shape after a standout T20 World Cup campaign. Bennett, who scored a half-century in the Test against Bangladesh, will be a key batsman for the hosts. His ability to adapt to different conditions and deliver match-winning performances makes him a crucial asset. Meanwhile, the team’s spin department, led by Raza, will look to exploit the low and slow pitch in Bulawayo, which is expected to favor the home side. For Bangladesh, Nahid Rana will take on a more prominent role as the team’s leading wicket-taker in the ODIs.#zimbabwe #bangladesh #litton_das #sikandar_razza #bulawayo

ZIM vs BAN 2nd ODI Match Preview - Bangladesh look to overturn batting woes as Zimbabwe eye series win Bangladesh faces a critical challenge as they prepare for the second ODI of their three-match series against Zimbabwe in Harare on July 9, 2026. The match, part of Bangladesh’s tour of Zimbabwe, comes after a series of batting collapses that have left the Tigers reeling. In their first ODI at the same venue, Bangladesh failed to chase a modest target of 142, collapsing to 116 all out. This defeat has raised concerns, especially with the upcoming ODI World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia in 2027, where the conditions will favor the pace and bounce that Zimbabwe’s bowlers exploited in Harare. Bangladesh’s batting struggles have been stark. Their top-order batters, including Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz, were caught off poorly executed shots, leading to a rapid collapse. The team’s only bright spot was Nahid Rana, their returning pace bowler, who claimed a career-best 6 for 21 in the first ODI. His performance highlighted the potential for Bangladesh to regain control with the ball, but the batting woes remain a major concern. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, entered the match with renewed confidence following Richard Ngarava’s leadership debut as ODI captain. Ngarava, playing at No. 10, scored a crucial 27 and took 3 for 31 in a fiery spell. His leadership and aggressive fields disrupted Bangladesh’s chase, contributing to their 25-run loss. Zimbabwe’s bowlers also dominated, sharing all 33.1 overs and taking ten wickets, securing their position in the lineup. The series has been a mixed bag for Zimbabwe. While their fast bowlers have excelled, their batting has been inconsistent, sliding to 70 for 8 in the first ODI.#zimbabwe #bangladesh #tanzid_hasan #najmul_hossain_shanto #richard_ngarava

Renuka Singh's Comeback: India Women's Team Secures Early Victory Against Bangladesh in T20 World Cup The Indian women's cricket team made strategic adjustments to its playing XI ahead of its match against Bangladesh in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026, following a defeat to South Africa in the group stage. The changes, which included the inclusion of fast bowler Renuka Singh and spinner Radha Yadav while omitting Arundhati Reddy and Premi Rawat, delivered immediate results. Singh, who had been sidelined in the tournament's previous matches, showcased her value by taking a crucial wicket in the first over, marking a pivotal moment for the team. India batted first in the encounter, and Singh was entrusted with the responsibility of setting the tone. Despite a shaky start to her innings, characterized by three wides in the second over, Singh remained composed. Her breakthrough came on the sixth ball of the over, dismissing opener Dilruba Akhter to disrupt Bangladesh's innings. This early wicket provided a much-needed boost to India's bowling attack, which had struggled to find rhythm in the tournament's earlier matches. The decision to reintegrate Singh into the playing XI was significant, given her recent struggles with form. Over the past few matches, the team had faced challenges in maintaining consistency, with only two wickets taken by fast bowlers in the tournament's last three games—compared to 21 by spinners. Singh's return offered a fresh dynamic, and her ability to capitalize on the opportunity highlighted her importance to the squad. India's victory in the match underscored the impact of strategic personnel changes. The team's bowling department, which had been criticized for its lack of pace and accuracy, found renewed confidence through Singh's performance.#india_women_team #bangladesh #radha_yadav #icc_women_t20_world_cup_2026 #renuka_singh

Women's T20 World Cup: India's Semifinal Fate Hangs in Balance After South Africa Defeat India's Women's T20 World Cup campaign faces a critical juncture after a six-wicket loss to South Africa, which has complicated their path to the semifinals. The team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, now must secure victories in their remaining matches against Bangladesh and Australia to avoid relying on net run rate (NRR) calculations. The defeat has shifted the group dynamics, leaving India, South Africa, and Australia in a tight race for the final two spots. India entered the tournament with momentum, defeating Pakistan and Netherlands to reach the semifinal stage. However, the loss to South Africa, which ended their hopes of a dominant group stage, has forced a recalibration of their strategy. With four points from three matches and an NRR of +2.511, India remains in a strong position but must now focus on maximizing their NRR in the upcoming fixtures. A win against Bangladesh, which is considered a favorable opponent, could boost their NRR significantly. However, the true test lies in the clash against Australia on June 28, which could determine their semifinal qualification. If India defeats Australia, they will likely secure a semifinal berth, as the team would then have six points and a strong NRR. Conversely, a loss to Australia could leave them vulnerable, especially if South Africa also wins both their remaining matches. In that scenario, all three teams—India, South Africa, and Australia—could finish with eight points, forcing a tiebreaker based on NRR. South Africa, currently at -0.546 NRR, has a chance to improve their position by defeating Bangladesh and Netherlands, but they would need a significant margin of victory to close the gap. Australia, meanwhile, remains the strongest contender with six points and a +4.#south_africa #australia #harmanpreet_kaur #bangladesh #india_women

Australia’s batting lineup was tested early in the innings. After winning the toss, captain Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis provided a solid start, but the Bangladesh spinners quickly disrupted the rhythm. Inglis, who scored 11, was the first to fall leg before wicket to left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed. Marsh, who contributed 20 runs, was dismissed by fast bowler Nahid Rana in the sixth over, leaving Australia at 44-3. However, Renshaw’s arrival revitalized the innings, and his aggressive strokeplay helped Australia build a commanding total. Bangladesh’s batting effort was marked by Tanzid Hasan’s 30 off 15 balls, but the team struggled to maintain momentum.#australia #bangladesh #tim_david #chattogram #matt_renshaw

Ellyse Perry Shines as All-Rounder in Women's T20 World Cup Victory Over Bangladesh Australia all-rounder Ellyse Perry delivered a standout performance in the 2026 Women’s T20 World Cup, helping her side defeat Bangladesh with a disciplined bowling display on June 17. The 35-year-old took 2 wickets for 14 runs in three overs, restricting the opposition to a total of 77 runs in the first innings. Perry’s contribution was pivotal as Australia secured a crucial win, showcasing her ability to adapt and excel across multiple facets of the game. Perry expressed her enthusiasm for continuing to develop her bowling skills, emphasizing her dedication to staying engaged and evolving as a player. After the match, she reflected on the importance of contributing whenever possible, highlighting her enjoyment of the challenge. “Any opportunity I get to contribute, I really enjoy doing that with this wonderful group of players,” Perry said. She noted her ongoing efforts to refine her bowling techniques, stating, “I’ve been chipping away with my bowling, I love doing it, it keeps me interested at training to have a trundle. There’s bits and pieces you’ve always got to learn and try and develop.” Perry’s all-round capabilities have long been a cornerstone of her career, but her role as a bowler has diminished in recent years. Over the past 32 T20 Internationals (T20Is) Australia has played, Perry has bowled only eight times, focusing more on her batting contributions. However, her performance against Bangladesh reaffirmed her value as a key all-rounder. Her ability to step up when needed has made her an indispensable asset to the team, even as her bowling role has become less frequent. Australia captain Sophie Molineux praised Perry’s consistency and readiness to contribute, despite her reduced bowling workload.#australia #bangladesh #sophie_molineux #ellyse_perry #women_t20_world_cup

Clinical Bangladesh seal historic ODI series win over Australia Australia slumped to their worst-ever start to an ODI as Bangladesh romped to a historic series victory over the reigning world champions on Thursday night. The Tigers cruised to a revised target of 192 with five wickets and 36 balls to spare in the second ODI in Dhaka, taking a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. This marked Bangladesh’s first men’s ODI series win over Australia, ending a streak of four consecutive bilateral series victories by the latter. The match began with a disastrous start for Australia, as they lost their first three wickets without scoring a run. Despite efforts from Marnus Labuschagne and Xavier Bartlett, the visitors struggled to recover. Bangladesh’s bowlers, led by Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman, dismantled the Australian batting lineup in the first two overs, leaving the hosts at 3-0 after just six balls. This was the first time in men’s 50-over cricket that Australia had lost their first three wickets without scoring, a record previously held by teams like Pakistan and South Africa. The collapse continued as Matt Short, Cooper Connolly, and Matt Renshaw fell in quick succession. Short was bowled shouldering arms to Taskin on the fourth ball of the innings, marking his third consecutive duck in the series. Connolly was dismissed for a golden duck off the first ball of the second over, and Renshaw, promoted to No.4, was caught by Litton Das five balls later. The Australians were left reeling at 3-0 after two overs, a situation that had never occurred in men’s ODI history. Australia’s only run of the innings came from a no-ball, as Taskin overstepped in his second over.#australia #bangladesh #litton_das #taskin_ahmed #mustafizur_rahman

Bangladesh Defeats Australia by 86 Runs in Historic ODI Victory After 21-Year Gap Bangladesh ended a 21-year drought in one-day international cricket by defeating Australia by an innings and 86 runs in a thrilling match at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. The victory marked a significant milestone for the Tigers, who had not beaten the world champions in a one-day format since 2005. The match, part of a three-game series, saw Bangladesh take an early 1-0 lead in the contest, with their bowlers and fielders playing a pivotal role in dismantling the Australian batting lineup. Bangladesh’s innings was anchored by a stellar performance from Mosaddek Hossain, who scored an unbeaten 86 runs, his highest career score in ODIs. The left-handed opener, who returned to the national team after a four-year absence, showcased his class with a mix of aggressive strokeplay and calculated patience. His partnership with Tuhin Ahmed (75) and Tasikin Ahmed (45) laid the foundation for a formidable total of 284 runs. Hossain’s innings was further enhanced by his ability to capitalize on Australia’s poor fielding, as four crucial catches were dropped by the visitors, including three by the Australian team’s own players. Australia’s batting woes began early, with opener Matthew Short dismissed for 13 in the first over. The hosts’ bowlers, led by Mustafizur Rahman and Nasimul Islam, maintained pressure throughout, restricting the visitors to a meager 223 runs. The Australian team’s inability to build partnerships proved costly, as they lost key wickets to Bangladesh’s spinners and pace bowlers. The match’s turning point came in the 15th over when Nasimul Islam dismissed Cameron Green, who was later run out by a sharp throw from the deep.#australia #bangladesh #mustafizur_rahman #mosaddek_hossain #nasimul_islam

Bangladesh Defeats Australia by 86 Runs in Historic Upset, Repeats 21-Year Achievement Bangladesh delivered a stunning cricket upset by defeating Australia by 86 runs in the first One-Day International (ODI) of the series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on June 9, 2026.

Key contributors included Mosaddek Hossain, who scored 86 off 70 balls, and Najmul Hossain Shanto, who added 67 runs.

Bangladesh Beats Australia After 21 Years; Rana Takes 4 Wickets Bangladesh secured a historic victory over Australia in a One-Day International (ODI) match in Mirpur, defeating the visitors by 86 runs under the DLS method. This marked Bangladesh's second ODI win against Australia in their history, with the previous triumph occurring in 2005. The match, which was the first ODI of the bilateral series, ended abruptly due to rain and power cuts, leading to the application of the DLS rules to determine the result. The Bangladesh team, led by captain Naim Sheikh, showcased a dominant performance, with Mohammad Mosharraf Hussain playing a pivotal role. Hussain scored an unbeaten 86 runs, supported by Naim Sheikh's 67 and Tanzid Hasan's 54. The Bangladesh bowlers, particularly Nihad Rana, were instrumental in restricting Australia's total. Rana took 4 wickets in his 10-over spell, conceding 40 runs, while Nathan Ellis of Australia claimed 3 wickets for 38 runs. Australia, arriving in Bangladesh after a 1-2 loss to Pakistan in their previous series, faced a challenging start. The match began with a dramatic dismissal of opener Matthew Short by Tushar Ahmed on the first ball. Marne Labuschagne, struggling with form, was dismissed for 1 run, continuing Australia's poor start. Despite efforts by Cooper Conolly (35), Josh Inglis (19), and Alex Carey (47) to stabilize the innings, Australia could only manage 191 runs in 42.2 overs, falling short of the target set by Bangladesh's 284 runs in 50 overs. The match was halted due to heavy rain and power outages, with the umpires unable to resume play. Under the DLS method, Bangladesh was declared the winner by 86 runs. Cameron Green of Australia remained unbeaten on 52, but his efforts were insufficient to prevent the loss.#australia #bangladesh #naim_sheikh #mohammad_mosharraf_hussain #nihad_rana

Bangladesh vs Australia, 1st ODI Highlights from Dhaka Bangladesh secured a historic 86-run victory over Australia in the first One-Day International (ODI) of their series in Dhaka, ending a 21-year wait for a win against the Australian team. The result marked Bangladesh’s first-ever ODI triumph over Australia on home soil and extended their dominance in the series, giving them a 1-0 lead. The match, which was ultimately abandoned due to rain, was decided via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method after play was halted in the final overs. The Bangladesh batting lineup delivered a standout performance, with Najmul Hossain Shanto and Tanzid Hasan contributing half-centuries to post a formidable total of 285 runs. However, the standout moment of the innings was Mosaddek Hossain’s return to international cricket after nearly four years. The all-rounder smashed an unbeaten 86 off 70 deliveries, marking his highest ODI score and cementing his status as the Player of the Match. His innings, coupled with crucial bowling contributions from Taskin Ahmed and Nahid Rana, laid the foundation for Bangladesh’s victory. Australia struggled to adapt to the conditions, losing early wickets and failing to build a substantial partnership. Matthew Short was dismissed on the first ball of the innings, and despite a brief stand between Cooper Connolly and Josh Inglis, the Australian batting lineup crumbled under pressure. Alex Carey and Cameron Green offered some stability, but the collapse began rapidly, with Australia slipping from 128/4 to 140/8 in a matter of overs. Nathan Ellis led the bowling attack with a three-wicket haul, while Matt Renshaw and Liam Scott chipped in with wickets, but Adam Zampa’s lack of rhythm and missed chances in the field further hampered Australia’s chances.#australia #bangladesh #tanzid_hasan #najmul_hossain_shanto #mosaddek_hossain

Mosaddek, making a triumphant return to the team after a four-year absence, scored an unbeaten 86 off 70 balls, striking seven fours and three sixes. His innings, coupled with a crucial 75-run partnership with Tanzid Hasan for the fifth wicket, steadied the innings after Bangladesh slipped to 140 for 4. Australia’s response was dismal, as they were bowled out for 191 in 42.2 overs. The hosts’ fielding errors compounded their woes, with four dropped catches and a lackluster display in the field. Cameron Green top-scored with 52, but the Australian team failed to capitalize on their opportunities.#australia #bangladesh #shere_bangla_national_stadium #nahid_rana #mosaddek_hossain

Bangladesh's Historic ODI Victory Ends 21-Year Drought Over Australia Bangladesh delivered a commanding performance to dismantle Australia by 86 runs in the opening One-Day International (ODI) of their 2026 series in Dhaka, marking their first-ever ODI win against the six-time world champions. The result, achieved through the DLS method, ended a 21-year gap since Bangladesh's sole ODI victory in 2005 at Cardiff. The match, played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, showcased Bangladesh's dominance across all facets of the game, with standout contributions from Mosaddek Hossain and Nahid Rana. The Bangladesh innings began with promise as Tanzid Hasan Tamim and Najmul Hossain Shanto laid the foundation, scoring 54 and 67 respectively. However, the real hero of the innings was Mosaddek Hossain, who returned after a four-year absence to deliver a masterclass. The all-rounder smashed an unbeaten 86, his highest ODI score, featuring two reverse hits and a towering six over long-off off Mitchell Starc. His innings, supported by a 75-run fifth-wicket partnership with Towhid Hridoy and a 45-run stand with Taskin Ahmed, propelled Bangladesh to 284 for 8 in 50 overs. Australia's response was a disaster, as their batting line-up struggled to cope with the pace and movement of the Bangladesh bowlers. Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman struck early, reducing Australia to 2 for 2 in the first over. The visitors' woes continued as they dropped four catches, including three that could have saved Mosaddek's wicket. The Australian fielding was equally poor, with a rare lapse at slip allowing Tanzid Hasan Tamim to survive a chance. Nahid Rana was the standout bowler for Bangladesh, dismantling Australia's batting order with a fiery 4 for 41 in a crucial phase.#australia #bangladesh #taskin_ahmed #najmul_hossain_shanto #mosaddek_hossain

Bangladesh Seek Series Victory Against Australia in Second ODI Bangladesh edged closer to a historic ODI series triumph against Australia after securing a commanding 86-run victory in the first match of the tour on June 10, 2026. The result sets the stage for a crucial second ODI at Mirpur, where the Tigers aim to complete a series sweep and end a 21-year wait for a maiden ODI series win. Australia, meanwhile, will look to bounce back after a dismal performance in the opening encounter, which exposed vulnerabilities in their batting and fielding. The first ODI at the Shere Bangla National Stadium saw Bangladesh dominate every phase of the game, with their pace attack and middle-order resilience proving decisive. Tanzid Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto laid a solid foundation, steadying the innings after an early wicket by Saif Hassan. Mosaddek Hossain emerged as the standout performer, scoring an unbeaten 86 and claiming two crucial wickets. His innings, marked by aggressive strokeplay and calculated risk-taking, showcased his maturity as a finisher. Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, and Nahid Rana further tightened the Australian batting order, with Rana delivering a blistering spell of pace that saw him reach speeds of 150kph. His four-wicket haul brought his 2026 tally to 31 in nine matches, the highest by any fast bowler in the year. Australia’s struggles were compounded by poor fielding, which allowed Bangladesh to capitalize on every opportunity. Mosaddek was dropped three times, and Shanto was reprieved during his innings, highlighting the team’s inability to maintain composure. Cameron Green, the only bright spot for Australia, scored a half-century from No. 6, but his late contribution raised questions about his placement in the batting order.#australia #bangladesh #taskin_ahmed #mustafizur_rahman #mosaddek_hossain

Bangladesh vs Australia 2026: ODI Series Preview as Tigers Seek First Win in 15 Years Bangladesh will host Australia in their first men’s bilateral ODI series since 2011, with the opening match set for June 9, 2026, in Mirpur. The Tigers, buoyed by confidence on home soil, aim to break a 15-year drought in their series against the Australians, while the visitors face challenges due to the absence of key players. Australia’s depleted squad, missing captain Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head, will rely on younger talent to adapt to Bangladesh’s evolving bowling conditions. The series marks a significant milestone for Bangladesh, who have won their last four home ODI series against Sri Lanka, West Indies, Pakistan, and New Zealand. However, this will be their first bilateral series against Australia since the 2005 World Cup, when Bangladesh famously defeated the Australians in Cardiff. The hosts have embraced a more aggressive approach in recent years, with pace bowling playing a central role. Across six ODIs this year, pace bowlers have claimed 69 wickets at an average of 22.60, compared to 26 by spinners at 35.50. Bangladesh’s pace attack, featuring Nahid Rana, Taskin Ahmed, and Mustafizur Rahman, is expected to dominate the conditions in Mirpur, where the pitch has favored fast bowlers in recent series. Rana, in particular, has emerged as a key threat, taking 16 wickets at 17.43 in his last six ODIs against Pakistan and New Zealand. His potential to disrupt Australia’s batting lineup will be a focal point for the Tigers. Meanwhile, Bangladesh’s spinners, including Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Najmul Hossain Shanto, will provide balance, though the team’s reliance on pace has shifted the dynamics of the series.#australia #bangladesh #taskin_ahmed #mirpur #nahid_rana
