After handing Australia an 86‑run (DLS) drubbing in the first ODI, Bangladesh now stand on the cusp of history. Victory in the second ODI would secure their maiden bilateral ODI series triumph over Australia, a milestone that feels within reach given their performance in the opener.
Nahid Rana was the star of the show in the first match, unleashing bouncers at searing pace that left the Australian batters struggling to react. His aggressive short‑ball strategy rattled the visitors, and fans can expect him to pepper the tourists with more hostile deliveries in the second game.
Australia, meanwhile, were undone not just by Bangladesh’s bowling but also by their own sloppy fielding. A costly drop of Mosaddek Hossain early in his innings proved decisive, as he went on to punish them with audacious strokeplay, driving down the ground and employing switch hits square of the wicket to pile on the runs.
With only a day’s gap between the first and second ODI, the quick turnaround offers Australia little time to regroup. Yet, given their pedigree, the visitors will be determined to bounce back and fight in the manner they are renowned for.
Bangladesh, however, have strong reasons to believe this is their moment. A blend of fiery pace, opportunistic batting, and disciplined execution has put them within touching distance of a historic series win.

Bangladesh vs Australia Playing XI Prediction
Bangladesh
Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Saif Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das (wk), Towhid Hridoy, Mosaddek Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (c), Tanvir Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Nahid Rana
Australia
Matthew Short, Josh Inglis (c) (wk), Cooper Connolly, Marnus Labuschagne, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Matt Renshaw, Liam Scott, Adam Zampa, Nathan Ellis, Xavier Bartlett
Players to watch out for:
Nathan Ellis
Nathan Ellis has emerged as the new leader of Australia's pace attack in the absence of the big three. The right-arm seamer can get a bit of nip early on with the new ball and can bamboozle the best with his change-ups at the death. Australia will rely heavily on him in the second ODI.
Mustafizur Rahman
Mustafizur Rahman's bowling is ideal for the slow and low surfaces in Bangladesh. While the wicket in the first ODI was a bit even, Mustafizur still found a way out to remain effective. He can get a flurry of wickets at the death with his command over cutters.
