Bangladesh beat Australia in the opening match of their three-game ODI series in Mirpur/Dhaka, recording their first win over Australia in 21 years. Multiple outlets report that Bangladesh posted 284 for 8 after being sent in, with Australia restricting Bangladesh’s innings despite a notable contribution from Mosaddek Hossain, who made 86. Australia then reply with 191 for 9 when the match is interrupted by lightning and rain, ending play before the full allocation of overs. The result is decided by the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method, with Bangladesh winning by 86 runs. Reports also highlight Australia’s fielding errors, including dropped catches—one being four that allowed Mosaddek Hossain to survive and go on to score 86.

The win is also described as Bangladesh’s second success against Australia in 23 ODIs, matching historical notes about their earlier achievements.
