Scorecard<\/a><\/p>\n

Bangladesh claimed their first one-day international series win against Australia with a five-wicket victory in the second game in Mirpur.<\/b><\/p>\n

The hosts, who won their first 50-over match against Australia in 21 years in the series opener, had lost all four of their previous ODI series against the six-time World Cup winners 3-0.<\/p>\n

Their only previous match win was in a tri-series with England in 2005, but back-to-back victories means a first ODI series success to add to their T20 triumph in 2021.<\/p>\n

Chasing a revised 192 in 41 overs after the Australia innings was halted by rain, Bangladesh lost opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim for a duck in the first over.<\/p>\n

Soumya Sarkar (42) and Najmul Hossain Shanto (41) put on 86 for the second wicket but both fell in quick succession to leave the hosts 98-3.<\/p>\n

However, they got over the line with six overs to spare, with Tawhid Hridoy making an unbeaten 40 and captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz 22 not out.<\/p>\n

Mehidy was hit by a bouncer from Nathan Ellis and needed treatment but continued to bat despite a stretcher being called for.<\/p>\n

Australia – who are without key players including Mitch Marsh, Travis Head, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood – had earlier posted 187-8 in 42 overs before the rain arrived.<\/p>\n

They were reduced to 0-3 inside two overs – just the fourth instance in 4,975 men’s ODIs of a side losing three wickets for no runs – before stand-in captain Josh Inglis made 34.<\/p>\n

Marnus Labuschagne added an unbeaten 55 and shared a seventh-wicket stand of 103 with Xavier Bartlett (52), but the latter and Adam Zampa fell just before the rain to reduce the target Bangladesh required on the DLS method.<\/p>\n

The final game in the three-match series takes place in Mirpur on Sunday from 06:00 BST.<\/p>\n

The series could be significant for England and qualification for the 2027 World Cup.<\/p>\n

England are eighth in the International Cricket Council one-day rankings, Bangladesh ninth and West Indies 10th.<\/p>\n

Only the top nine teams in September qualify directly for the World Cup, and England face the tough challenge of India in their next one-day series in July.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
