Bangladesh 164/4 in 29.2 Overs | BAN vs AUS Live Score, 1st ODI: Najmul Hossain Shanto smashes fifty to lead Bangladesh’s innings – The Tech Word News

BAN vs AUS Live Score, 1st ODI: Australia opted to chase after skipper Josh Inglis won the toss against Bangladesh, believing the pitch offered enough moisture to help the fast bowlers in the early stages. Inglis admitted the conditions were largely unknown and said quick adaptation would be key for his side. The match also marked a memorable occasion for Liam Scott, who made his international debut, while Xavier Bartlett returned to add pace to the attack.

Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz remained upbeat despite being asked to bat first. The all-rounder highlighted the team’s strong performances in recent series and backed his players to continue the momentum. Mehidy said the wicket looked good but warned that the opening 10 overs would play a major role in determining the course of the contest.

Bangladesh fielded an excellent side with three seamers, three spinners and two all-rounders, while Australia relied on a batting line-up with Matthew Short, Josh Inglis, Marnus Labuschagne, Alex Carey and Cameron Green. With both captains identifying the new-ball phase as crucial, an interesting battle was set up from the start.
