Mosaddek Hossain And Nahid Rana Star As Bangladesh Beat Australia After 21 Years In ODI Cricket
Bangla National Stadium: Mosaddek Hossain marked his return to international cricket in style with an unbeaten 86, while pacer Nahid Rana ripped through the Australian batting line-up with 4 for 41 as Bangladesh stunned Australia by 86 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method in the opening ODI in Dhaka on Tuesday, securing their first 50-over victory over the six-time world champions since the famous Cardiff triumph in 2005.
For a long time, Cardiff 2005 was the key moment in Bangladesh's ODI history against Australia. On Tuesday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Bangladesh added another chapter by outplaying Australia to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Set a target of 285 runs, Australia was struggling at 191 for 9 when rain and lightning forced the match to be called off. This gave Bangladesh an 86-run victory under the DLS method. Cameron Green fought hard with an unbeaten 52, but wickets fell regularly around him as the visitors never recovered from an early collapse.
