Australia avoid a Bangladesh whitewash in the third and final ODI, winning by one wicket with three balls remaining. Chasing 275 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Australia relies on Cooper Connolly’s maiden international ODI century of 149. Both reports describe Connolly as the key anchor for the chase, reaching the target after Bangladesh posted 274. Bangladesh’s innings includes a major bowling impact from Shoriful Islam, who takes six wickets for Bangladesh, helping restrict Australia to 274 despite the chase. One outlet notes that Connolly falls during a late collapse, and the game tightens in the final overs, but Australia still manages to complete the run chase with a narrow margin. The result levels the series at 2-1 in favour of the hosts and prevents Bangladesh from winning all three ODIs. The match is decided late, with Australia requiring precise execution to secure the final wicket and finish the innings successfully.
