australia tour of bangladesh, 2026

Liam Scott to Taskin Ahmed, out Caught by Nathan Ellis!! Another wide full-toss - Taskin swings across the line, gets a toe-end and it's lobbed over extra-cover. Ellis tracks back, keeps his eyes on the ball and completes a good catch. They check for a waist-high full-toss - the ball though was dipping and it's a fair delivery. Bangladesh finish with 284. Taskin Ahmed c Nathan Ellis b Liam Scott 20(16) [4s-2 6s-1]

Nathan Ellis to Tanvir Islam, out Caught by Liam Scott!! One shot too many and Mosaddek Hossain is being left stranded here - probably got carried away by the boundary, was a slower ball on off and the left-hander is early into the lofted drive, came right off the toe-end and spooned high over mid-off. Scott kept his eyes on the ball, went reverse cupped and held on for a fine overhead catch. Tanvir Islam c Liam Scott b Nathan Ellis 5(7) [4s-1]

Liam Scott to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, out Lbw!! That looked plumb and Scott should've his maiden ODI wicket - Mehidy Hasan Miraz has reviewed though - was full and straight, he shuffled across and looked to hoick it across the line, missed and is struck right in front of middle. No bat and UltraEdge confirms the same. Onto ball-tracking: Three reds with the ball crashing into the leg-stump. Alex Wharf's call stays and Bangladesh have lost their skipper. Struggled to rotate the strike and falls in an attempt to release the pressure. Mehidy Hasan Miraz lbw b Liam Scott 3(12)

Xavier Bartlett to Towhid Hridoy, out Caught by Nathan Ellis!! That's a sitter to mid-off and Bartlett has his first wicket - was the back of the hand slower ball around off, no pace at all and Hridoy had to manufacture all on his own, was looking to drive on the rise, doesn't get the necessary elevation and offers a simple catch to Ellis at mid-off. Towhid Hridoy c Nathan Ellis b Xavier Bartlett 31(51) [4s-1]

Matt Renshaw to Najmul Hossain Shanto, out Caught by Cooper Connolly!! Najmul throws his wicket away. He tries to go over covers. Matt Renshaw spots it and tries to tie him down by bowling it closer to his pads. Najmul makes room and goes over the top, picks long-off to perfection. Cooper takes a good catch. Najmul Hossain Shanto c Cooper Connolly b Matt Renshaw 67(86) [4s-9 6s-1]

Matt Renshaw to Litton Das, out Caught&Bowled!! What a catch in his followthrough. Was flighted on middle, Litton Das comes down the track and makes room to smash it straight down the ground. He doesn't get the elevation and ends up hitting it flat and hard to the right of Renshaw, who pulls out a good reflex catch. Pumps the air to celebrate the wicket. Litton Das walks back disappointed. Litton Das c and b Matt Renshaw 7(9)

Nathan Ellis to Tanzid Hasan Tamim, out Caught by Xavier Bartlett!! He's thrown it away, the back of the hand slower delivery from Ellis, he's very effective with that delivery, Tamim didn't pick it this time and mistimes a loft towards mid on, a simple catch for Barlett as he steps back and takes it. Tanzid Hasan Tamim c Xavier Bartlett b Nathan Ellis 54(44) [4s-7 6s-1]

Nathan Ellis to Saif Hassan, out Caught by Marnus Labuschagne!! There's the first strike, excellent catch by Labu, it was full and around the off stump, it moved away a bit, Hassan was squared up on the defence, the ball flew off the outside edge towards second slip, where Labu dives to his right and snaps it with his right hand just inches from the ground as the ball was dying on him. Saif Hassan c Marnus Labuschagne b Nathan Ellis 5(5) [4s-1]

Mustafizur Rahman to Nathan Ellis, out Caught by Mosaddek Hossain!! Australia continue to fall away like nine pins and they're nine down now. Was the slower off-cutter from Mustafizur, rolled his fingers across the seam and pushed it wide of the right-hander - Ellis backed himself for the big hit, the idea was right, mid-off was inside the ring - but he's undone by Mustafizur's angle, slices a thick edge, high and over mid-off. Mossaddek runs back, keeps his eyes on the ball and completes a good catch. A livid Ellis bangs his bat against the turf as he walks away. Nathan Ellis c Mosaddek Hossain b Mustafizur Rahman 8(15)

Nahid Rana to Xavier Bartlett, out Caught by Tanzid Hasan Tamim!! Nahid Rana gets another wicket. Xavier Bartlett looks to take on Rana's quick short delivery which was bowled at 146.8ks. It was well directed at the badge and Bartlett was cramped for room. Hits the splice of the bat as he looked to pull and the ball lobs to the right of square leg. Tanzid takes a simple catch. Bangladesh are two wickets away. Xavier Bartlett c Tanzid Hasan Tamim b Nahid Rana 1(6)

Nahid Rana to Liam Scott, out Caught by Towhid Hridoy!! Another quick short delivery from Nahid Rana. Was bowled at 146ks and bounced a tad extra from back of a length. Scott tries to keep the ball down with a half-hearted cut shot. The extra pace and bounce takes the outside edge and flies towards point. Towhid Hridoy dives forward and takes it inches above the ground. Liam Scott c Towhid Hridoy b Nahid Rana 2(4)

Mosaddek Hossain to Matt Renshaw, out Lbw!! Another one bites the dust and Australia are in deep trouble. This was a ripper from round the wicket. Mosaddek Hossain Pitches on leg-stump and spins across sharply to beat the defensive push from Renshaw. Beats the outside edge and hits him on the back thigh pad. Loud shout for LBW and the umpire had no doubts as it looked plumb in front. Renshaw decides not to review and the replays says it was bang on. Matt Renshaw lbw b Mosaddek Hossain 2(4)

Nahid Rana to Carey, out Caught by Litton Das!! Timely strike for Bangladesh. A peach of delivery to rid of Carey, who was looking set for a long innings. Nahid Rana runs in from round the wicket and angles it into the left-hander. The ball pitches and straightens just enough to take the outside edge of Carey, who was on the back foot looking to drop it to the off-side. Keeper takes regulation catch and the crowd erupt. Nahid Rana jumps in joy and he knows the importance of this wicket. Carey c Litton Das b Nahid Rana 47(62) [4s-5]

Mosaddek Hossain to Cooper Connolly, out Bowled!! Breakthrough for Bangladesh. This one skidded on the surface and shatters the leg-stump. Connolly tries to make room and cut the ball that was sliding into the left-hander. He was late to bring the bat down and misses completely. Sees his stump knock back and drops his head in disappointment. With clouds hovering and rain threatening to impact the game, this is a massive wicket. Cooper Connolly b Mosaddek Hossain 35(50) [4s-5 6s-1]

Nahid Rana to Josh Inglis, out Caught by Litton Das!! That's a beauty from the youngster, back of a length delivery just outside off, good pace and bounce, Inglis fishes at it close to his body and nicks it back to the keeper, few words exchanged between Inglis and Rana, but the Bangladesh skipper comes in and sorts it out, Rana is pumped up. Josh Inglis c Litton Das b Nahid Rana 19(25) [4s-3]

Mustafizur Rahman to Marnus Labuschagne, out Lbw!! Dream start from Bangladesh and what a review at the last minute, this one was full on middle and swinging in, Labuschagne plays down the wrong line and is rapped on the pads, he was undone by the late swing, they go for the review, the ball tracking showed 3 reds and the ball was crashing into the middle and leg stump. Marnus Labuschagne lbw b Mustafizur Rahman 1(6)

Taskin Ahmed to Matthew Short, out Bowled!! That's a corker and Matthew Short falls first ball - that's some start from Bangladesh, was the nip-backer at pace and Short was rooted to the crease, brought the bat down at an angle and the ball burst through the bat-pad gap, crashing into the top of off-stump. Dream start for Taskin and Bangladesh as they defend 285. Matthew Short b Taskin Ahmed 0(1)
