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'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.

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 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 National Team Captain Clarifies Role Differences with Mosaddek Hossain Bangladesh national team captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz addressed the recent inclusion of Mosaddek Hossain in the squad, emphasizing that their roles within the team are distinct. Mehidy stated that while both players have a history of collaboration, their responsibilities on the field differ significantly. The selectors’ decision to recall Mosaddek, who had been absent from the national team for four years, was met with some surprise, as his role was previously considered overlapping with Mehidy’s. Mosaddek’s return came ahead of the ODI series against Australia, with the team set to play at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium. Despite his consistent performance in domestic cricket, Mosaddek had not been selected for international matches until now. The selectors had previously noted that his role was similar to Mehidy’s, with former chief selector Gazi Ashraf Hossain stating that Mosaddek’s chances were limited while Mehidy was part of the squad. However, the new selection committee, led by Habibul Bashar, opted to recall Mosaddek, clarifying that his role would involve batting at six or seven and contributing with the ball. Mehidy expressed no concern about the potential overlap, stating that both players would fulfill their respective duties. “We’ve played together for many years, including in the 2019 World Cup squad,” Mehidy said. “Our roles are different—Mosaddek is a batting all-rounder, while I am a bowling all-rounder. If he performs well, it will benefit both of us and the team.” He also highlighted his confidence in Mosaddek’s ability, citing the player’s strong domestic record. “I believe he will do well if given the opportunity,” Mehidy added.#sher_e_bangla_national_stadium #mehidy_hasan_miraz #bangladesh_national_team #mosaddek_hossain #habibul_bashar
