The 2nd ODI cricket match of the BAN vs AUS series is complete. The results are in and Bangladesh has defeated Australia. It’s not surprising that the Bangladesh vs Australia 2nd ODI went this way, especially considering Mustafizur Rahman’s performance. Looking at the Bangladesh vs Australia match scorecard, it’s easy to see why.

Cricket does something that hockey, basketball, football, and baseball do not: play a series of international matches against each other in an exhibition format. For the other sports mentioned, it’s all about the leagues (NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB).

One Match Left Following Bangladesh vs Australia 2nd ODI

The stage is set for the third and final ODI in this Bangladesh vs Australia series. That match will take place on June 13th, 2026, at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka.

Bangladesh vs Australia Match Scorecard: 2nd ODI

Prior to the start of the match, Australia won the toss and elected to bat first, as Bangladesh had done for the prior match. The Bangladesh vs Australia match scorecard launched in splendid fashion for Bangladesh, as three of the four openers for Australia walked back to the dugout without recording a single run.

Despite the rocky start, some batters managed to do some damage. These were the top batters for Australia.

• Marnus Labuschagne, 55 (85), 3 fours, 0 sixes
• Xavier Bartlett, 52 (48), 4 fours, 2 sixes
• Josh Inglis, 34 (38), 4 fours, 1 six

Australia walked away from their innings with only 187 runs. Granted, they were dismissed early due to a rain stoppage. However, the Bangladesh bowlers’ dominance in this match should not be overlooked.

Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman combined for six of the eight total wickets taken during the first innings. This is how the Fall of the Wickets happened for Australia:

• Over 0.4 (Matthew Short)
• Over 1.1 (Cooper Connolly)
• Over 2 (Matt Renshaw)
• Over 7.3 (Alex Carey)
• Over 17.1 (Josh Inglis)
• Over 21.1 (Cameron Green)
• Over 40.2 (Xavier Bartlett)
• Over 40.3 (Adam Zampa)

The chase was set to 192 runs and 41 overs when play resumed for the second innings of the match.
