Match Highlights
Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat first on a Mirpur surface that initially offered assistance to the bowlers before becoming more conducive to stroke-making as the innings progressed. The hosts entered the match with a chance to complete the series strongly, while Australia sought a consolation victory after already falling behind in the series.
The Bangladesh innings began poorly as Soumya Sarkar was dismissed by Xavier Bartlett in the opening over. The early breakthrough immediately put pressure on the top order, and although Tanzid Hasan played a few attacking strokes during his 19 from 20 balls, Australia maintained control through disciplined pace bowling. At the end of the mandatory powerplay, Bangladesh had reached 53/2, with both openers back in the pavilion.
The pressure increased when captain Najmul Hossain Shanto was trapped by Matt Renshaw for 24, leaving Bangladesh at 61/3 in the 15th over. Australia’s bowlers successfully restricted scoring opportunities during this phase, and Bangladesh faced the challenge of rebuilding their innings after losing three wickets relatively early.
Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy then engineered the most important recovery of the innings. Litton adopted a measured approach while Hridoy gradually increased the tempo. Their partnership steadied Bangladesh and shifted momentum away from Australia. As the innings entered the middle overs, the hosts crossed 100 and then 150 while losing no further wickets, allowing them to regain control after the difficult start.
Hridoy’s innings became increasingly influential as he reached his half-century from 62 deliveries. He combined placement with patience, striking eight fours during his knock of 83 from 88 balls. Litton remained composed at the other end, rotating strike effectively and ensuring the partnership continued to frustrate the Australian attack. By the 40-over mark, Bangladesh had progressed to 200 runs and positioned themselves for a strong finish.
The final phase of the innings was driven by Mosaddek Hossain. Arriving with a solid platform already established, he accelerated effectively and provided the late momentum Bangladesh required. His unbeaten 56 from 51 deliveries included five boundaries and a six. Hridoy eventually departed for 83, while Mahedi Hasan made only three, but Mosaddek ensured the scoring rate remained healthy through the death overs.
An unusual moment occurred when Litton Das retired hurt after helping Bangladesh reach a stable position. He later finished unbeaten on 58 from 78 balls. Together with Mosaddek, he guided the hosts to 274/5 from their 50 overs. Australia shared wickets among Bartlett, Renshaw and Ben Dwarshuis, but Bangladesh’s recovery from 61/3 was the defining feature of the first innings.
Australia’s chase began aggressively. Josh Inglis struck 21 from just 12 balls before falling to Shoriful Islam. The visitors then lost Matt Renshaw without scoring, reducing them to 40/2. Bangladesh sensed an opportunity when Alex Carey was dismissed for eight, leaving Australia at 70/3 and firmly under pressure in pursuit of 275.
At that stage, Cooper Connolly took command of the chase. The left-hander combined patience with controlled aggression, constructing an innings that ultimately decided the match. Alongside Marnus Labuschagne, he rebuilt steadily before accelerating. Connolly reached his fifty from 51 balls and later brought up a century from only 87 deliveries, striking boundaries regularly and keeping the required rate manageable.
Bangladesh fought back impressively through Shoriful Islam, who produced a superb spell. His six wickets included the dismissals of Inglis, Renshaw, Labuschagne, Peake, Bartlett and Dwarshuis. When Australia slipped from 266/5 to 271/9, the match suddenly swung back toward the hosts. Connolly’s dismissal for 149 at 271/9 further heightened the tension, leaving Australia needing four more runs with only one wicket remaining.
The final overs delivered the decisive drama. Despite Bangladesh’s remarkable comeback, Adam Zampa and Riley Meredith held their nerve. The pair guided Australia across the line at 277/9 with three balls to spare, completing a one-wicket victory. While Australia celebrated a thrilling win in the final ODI, Bangladesh finished with the bigger prize by securing the series 2-1. Connolly’s innings demonstrated the value of building a chase around one dominant performance, while Bangladesh could take encouragement from Shoriful’s outstanding bowling and the resilience shown throughout the series.
