Commentary

Australia

2:28 PM IST That brings this to a close - That's it from this entertaining contest, with Bangladesh clinching a memorable win over Australia. The hosts will now look to seal the series in the next game, while the Aussies will be eager to bounce back and force a decider. We will be back at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka for the 2nd ODI on 11th June, Thursday at 5 am GMT. As always, you can join us early for all the build-up to the game. Until then, cheers and goodbye!

2:27 PM IST The victorious skipper of Bangladesh - Mehidy Hasan Miraz starts by saying the camp is delighted with how the batting unit performed. He highlights the Shanto and Tanzid partnership as a particular highlight, saying he was genuinely excited watching the two bat together. He does feel the side can do even better, though. But he is quick to credit Mosaddek and Taskin for the way they held their nerve at the back end, saying the two were completely unfazed in the pressure of the closing overs. On Mosaddek specifically, Miraz acknowledges that the comeback has not been easy after such a long absence. He details that the all-rounder responded in the best possible way, showing real character when the team needed it most. As captain, he says, moments like that fill him with genuine pride.

2:34 PM IST PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Mosaddek Hossain wins the award for his all-round brilliance on his return to the national team. Unbeaten 86 off 70 with the bat, 2/37 with the ball, and a fantastic catch as well. Mosaddek says that it felt like the same when he was first picked for Bangladesh all those years back. Adds that he has worked hard to get back in the team and is very happy with his performance. Mentions that the conditions were tough, but it was a 320 wicket. However, after losing two wickets, he just tried to back himself and batted the way he did in the Premier League. Hossain shares that it was a good opportunity for him with the ball, but calls his success a bit lucky and thanks the Almighty. Ends by saying that he wants to serve Bangladesh for as long as he plays professional cricket.

2:33 PM IST The captain of Australia - Josh Inglis admits that they weren't clinical in the field as they dropped several catches. He notes that the chances that went down allowed Bangladesh to post a total that should have been considerably lower and far more manageable to chase. On the bowling, he singles out Ellis for special praise, describing him as outstanding across all phases. He adds that Ellis used his variations smartly, adjusted his fields well and produced a high-quality spell that kept them in the hunt throughout. On the chase, Inglis reflects and details that the message to the batters was simple - to back themselves and play their natural game. He notes the surface offered decent value for batting, but early wickets put the side on the back foot. Highlights that several batters got starts, but none could push on and convert, and the absence of a substantial partnership ultimately proved the difference. Looking ahead, Inglis keeps it brief. He details that the side now has a clearer picture of what these conditions demand, and with the series still alive, he stresses the need to respond immediately.

2:16 PM IST Presentation Time...

2:16 PM IST Bangladesh strike, rain steals finish - Bangladesh carried their momentum straight into the bowling innings, with Taskin Ahmed striking on the very first ball of the chase to set the tone instantly. Mustafizur Rahman followed it up right away, keeping the pressure firmly on, and it could have been three early wickets had Tanzid Hasan held on to a chance off Cooper Connolly. After a brief lull, Nahid Rana broke the resistance to form an opening. Mosaddek Hossain, fresh off a valuable fifty, made an impact in the middle overs with a couple of crucial wickets, before Rana stole the show with a brilliant four-wicket haul, ripping through the Australian middle order. Just when Bangladesh were within touching distance of victory, Fizz struck again to leave Australia on the brink. But as the finish approached, lightning and rain forced play to be stopped. In the end, Bangladesh sealed the win via DLS, but were denied that full moment, the chance to finish on the field and celebrate this massive victory in front of their home fans.

2:10 PM IST Tigers roar as Mosaddek marks dream return - Earlier in the game, Bangladesh posted their fourth-highest ODI total against Australia, courtesy of half-centuries from Najmul Hossain Shanto and Tanzid Hasan. But the standout story was Mosaddek Hossain, who marked his return to international cricket after almost four years in style, smashing a superb unbeaten 86 off 70 deliveries, also his highest ODI score. For Australia, Nathan Ellis led the attack with a fine three-wicket haul, while Matt Renshaw and debutant Liam Scott chipped in with a couple of wickets each. However, Adam Zampa struggled to find his rhythm, and along with a few costly dropped chances in the field, Australia were left chasing a much bigger target than they would have liked.

2:15 PM IST Aussie batting unravels in Dhaka - Australia got off to a nightmare start, losing Matthew Short on the very first ball, which soon became 2/2 and instantly put them on the back foot. Cooper Connolly and Josh Inglis tried to steady things with a 49-run stand, but the momentum never really shifted. Alex Carey then offered some stability alongside Cooper, who looked to take the innings deep but failed to convert his start. Carey also fell under pressure on 47, and from there it was a rapid collapse. Australia slipped from 128/4 to 140/8 in no time, effectively throwing the game away. Cameron Green held one end with an unbeaten fifty but kept losing partners, never quite able to build a stand. And with lightning and rain bringing play to a halt, Australia were eventually handed an 86-run defeat via DLS, as the weather sealed their fate.

2:09 PM IST Bangladesh break the 21-year wait - The wait of 21 years is finally over! Bangladesh have sealed only their second-ever ODI win over Australia, with the first coming way back in 2005 in Cardiff, and in the process have taken a 1-0 lead in the series. What a moment in their cricketing history - one that will be remembered for years to come. And they have done it in some style too, producing a dominant all-round performance against an Australian side that, in fairness, were missing a few big names but simply could not capitalise on the moments that came their way.

2:11 PM IST And that is that. The plug has been pulled after a delay of more than an hour. MATCH HAS BEEN ABANDONED. The two umpires were spotted strolling along the sidelines, sharing a brief word with the ground staff before making their way back in. The result - Bangladesh beat Australia by 86 runs (DLS method). Chasing 285 on a surface like this was a tall order, but Australia's batting frailties in the subcontinent got exposed once again. The conditions asked hard questions, and the answers were not good enough from the tourists.

1:48 PM IST 1.35 pm GMT update - Looks like the rain has picked up and the chances of a resumption are fading fast. There is no movement in the middle whatsoever, and the stands have emptied out too. FYI, this will be Bangladesh's first ODI victory over Australia since that famous day in Cardiff back in 2005. More significantly, it would be their first-ever ODI win against the Aussies on home soil. Whether it comes via DLS or a resumption remains to be seen.

1:32 PM IST 1.25 pm GMT update - A few ground staff remain out on the field without umbrellas, which suggests the drizzle is light enough for now. But even a light drizzle can hang around, and even a gentle shower can delay things far longer than expected. It has already been a very long day in Dhaka, and with time running short, DLS could have the final say if conditions do not clear up soon.

1:24 PM IST 1.18 pm GMT update - Live visuals show that the ground staff are bringing the covers in the middle to protect the pitch. More covers are being rushed out to protect the square, as it has now started to drizzle a bit as well. The break could last a while, it seems. And in just a matter of time, the whole square is under the sheets now.

1:11 PM IST 1.06 pm GMT update - There's some lightning around, and the umpires have decided to take the players off the field as a precautionary measure. Bangladesh are on the cusp of a win but will have to exercise some patience for the final rites.

12:11 PM IST Drinks! 91/3 has quickly turned into 138/7 for the Aussies as their middle order has been blown away. The game looks beyond the tourists now with most of the mainstays dismissed, but Cameron Green remains at the crease, and the task is clear. Bat deep, shepherd the tail, and at the very least make Bangladesh work hard for every remaining wicket. It's been a fantastic outing for the likes of Rana and Mosaddek, but overall, as well, the bowling from Bangladesh has been clinical so far. Xavier Bartlett is the new batter in at number 9. Nahid Rana to complete the remaining over after the break.

Nahid Rana to Liam Scott, no run

146.0kph

OUT! CAUGHT! Nahid Rana is ripping apart the Aussies and he is absolutely pumped up here. He bashes the length at a quick pace, just around off and gets it to lift off the deck as well. Liam Scott once again tries to ride the bounce, but the ball gets big on him and ends up just hanging his bat away from his body, failing to get out of the way of it. The ball takes the shoulder of the bat and flies towards point, where Towhid Hridoy dives forward and scoops it up sharply just above the ground. Bangladesh are edging closer to a historic win.

OUT! LBW! Second wicket for Mosaddek as Renshaw falls. The tourists continue to implode in the middle phase as 91/3 becomes 135/6. Round the wicket, full and drifting in on off and middle. Renshaw gets forward to defend, but the ball turns away sharply, beats the outside edge and catches him on the back thigh pad. The appeal goes up, and the umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger. Renshaw has a chat with Scott but walks away without reviewing it. Australia are still adrift, needing 150 runs from 123 balls.

Lands and straightens off the pitch. Alex is pinned in the crease with his bat hung away from his body to defend. Ekes an outside edge and Litton Das takes a regulation catch behind the stumps.

11:08 AM IST Drinks! Australia are en route to another rebuilding after they lost their skipper Inglis right after the field restrictions were lifted. Connolly looks to have his eye in, and Carey is growing in confidence at the other end. There is still decent batting left to come, but this partnership carries real weight. A collapse from here could put the game beyond them, and the two will know they need to bat as long as possible to keep Australia in the hunt. For now, Bangladesh are still on top and a wicket or two will really put them far ahead of the tourists. Mehidy Hasan Miraz to continue after the hydration break. 2-0-12-0 so far.
