The Bangladesh National Cricket Team registered a stunning 86-run victory over the Australia National Cricket Team in the first ODI in Dhaka and took a 1-0 lead in the ongoing three-match ODI series. Express fast bowler Nahid Rana was the hero behind the Tigers’ historic win over the Kangaroos.
Rana's incredible speed and match-winning spell gave fans an exciting glimpse of his talent and showed why he is becoming one of the most dangerous fast bowlers in the world. Even the Bangladesh bowler has been offered a Big Bash League (BBL) deal after his Dhaka heroics.
Nahid Rana completely changed the game with his fiery pace and fearless bowling. Bowling at speeds above 150 kmph, the youngster tore through Australia's batting line-up and finished with the stunning spell of 4/41 in his quota of 10 overs in the three-match ODI series opener in Dhaka.
Cameron Green showed some fight with a praiseworthy half-century and kept the Australia National Cricket Team’s hopes alive, but wickets kept falling at the other end as the Bangladesh National Cricket Team bowlers remained in full control throughout the chase.
Bangladesh create ODI history
Later, lightning forced the players off the field at the Shere Bangla National Stadium. At that stage, Australia still needed 94 runs from only 46 balls, and they needed a miracle. With the weather refusing to improve, officials called off the game, and Bangladesh was declared the winner under the DLS method, with Australia suffering a crushing 86-run defeat in Dhaka.
With this win, Bangladesh created the history. It was only the second time Bangladesh had defeated Australia in men's ODI cricket and their first 50-over victory over the six-time world champions in more than two decades. Bangladesh will head into the second ODI in Dhaka hoping to deliver another memorable performance and seal the series against Australia.
Meanwhile, Alex Carey did not make a big issue out of Nahid Rana's fiery celebration after dismissing Australia captain Josh Inglis. He said the Bangladesh fast bowler simply brought some extra excitement and intensity to the match.
A heated moment unfolded during the first ODI on June 9 when Rana and Inglis got into a heated on-field exchange. After taking Inglis’ wicket, Rana showed an aggressive celebration and gave a fiery send-off while the batter was walking back. Inglis did not take it lightly.
He stopped, turned back and moved towards Rana in anger, leading to a brief face-off between the two players on the field before they were separated by the Bangladesh players in Dhaka. However, Carey revealed that he is yet to learn what were the exact words that triggered the on-field drama in the first ODI.
Alex Carey was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au, “I think that's what we want in cricket, a bit of spice. You don't want to take it over the edge, clearly, but I thought that was two players getting into the contest. Clearly, he was a standout tonight with a bit of extra bounce on a wicket that allowed that pace and bounce. He bowled really well.”

— KFC Big Bash League (@BBL) June 10, 2026He also lauded Rana and hopes to do well against him in the second ODI on June 11. Carey said, “I think we all knew the pace (he had), but I guess until you face it firsthand—he's a really tall athlete and gets a bit of bounce as well. He bowled really well, is what I will say … we just weren't able to keep him out of the game. We've now got a chance to play against him in the next two ODIs here on Thursday and Sunday. Hopefully we can keep him out of the series from now on.”
