Bangladesh secured a historic ODI series victory over Australia after defeating the visitors by five wickets via the DLS method in the second ODI on 10 June 2026 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. Chasing a revised target of 192, Bangladesh reached 195/5 in 35 overs to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Bangladesh produced another composed performance to clinch their first-ever bilateral ODI series win over Australia. After winning the opening match, the hosts entered the second ODI with an opportunity to secure the series and delivered under pressure in a rain-affected contest in Mirpur. Australia posted 187/8 in 42 overs after interruptions reduced the innings, leaving Bangladesh with a DLS-adjusted target of 192.
Australia struggled to build sustained momentum with the bat as Bangladesh’s bowlers kept regular pressure on the innings. Mustafizur Rahman emerged as the standout performer, finishing with three wickets, while the home attack restricted Australia below the 200-run mark.
In response, Bangladesh managed the chase effectively despite losing wickets at intervals. Towhid Hridoy played a key role with 40 runs, while captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz remained unbeaten on 22 and struck the winning six to seal the result. Bangladesh reached 195/5 in 35 overs, winning with 36 balls remaining under the DLS method.
The result marked a significant milestone for Bangladesh cricket, as the team secured its first ODI bilateral series win against Australia. By taking a 2-0 lead in the three-match contest, Bangladesh ensured the series victory with one game still to play.
