Bangladesh’s quest to complete a clean sweep over Australia may be disrupted by the weather, with rain threatening the third ODI at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Sunday, June 14.
Pacer Taskin Ahmed expressed delight at securing an unassailable 2‑0 lead in the series, emphasising that Bangladesh’s victories have come on sporting wickets rather than the "paddy fields" often alleged by touring sides struggling against spin‑friendly conditions.
However, Bangladesh are likely to be without their captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who suffered a concussion after being struck by a Nathan Ellis bouncer in the previous match and was subsequently taken to a hospital. His absence could pave the way for leg‑spinner Rishad Hossain to feature in the final ODI.

Bangladesh vs Australia Playing XI Prediction
Bangladesh
Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Saif Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das (wk), Towhid Hridoy, Mosaddek Hossain, Nurul Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Nahid Rana
Australia
Matthew Short, Josh Inglis (c) (wk), Cooper Connolly, Marnus Labuschagne, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Matt Renshaw, Riley Meredith, Adam Zampa, Nathan Ellis, Xavier Bartlett
Players to watch out for:
Cooper Connolly
The 22-year-old was one of the stars of the IPL 2026 season for Punjab Kings (PBKS) but seems to be finding it difficult adapting to the conditions in Bangladesh. However, the southpaw has enough calibre to get a good score under his belt and help Australia salvage their pride.
Mosaddek Hossain
Mosaddek Hossain looks hungry for success after being recalled to the ODI setup. The batting allrounder was the point of difference in the series opener. His role becomes critical if Mehidy misses out with a concussion.
