Nahid Rana got rid of Australia skipper Josh Inglis just as he was looking to build a partnership with Cooper Connolly.

The speedster had Inglis (19) caught behind with a rising pacey delivery as the visitors reached 53 for three in 12 overs.

Earlier, Matthew Short (0) and Marnus Labuschagne (1) were removed by Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman in the first two overs of the chase. 

Connolly, who was batting on 23 when Inglis fell, had a reprieve early in the innings.

Bangladesh: 284 for 8 in 50 overs

Mosaddek Hossain made his return to the Bangladesh team a memorable one with an unbeaten 70-ball 86, helping the hosts to 284 for eight after being asked to bat in the first ODI against Australia in Mirpur on Tuesday. 

The 30-year-old made his return to ODI cricket after nearly four years, having last played the format during Bangladesh’s home series against Zimbabwe in August 2022, while his most recent international appearance came later that year at the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia.

The middle-order batter made most of the opportunity as he anchored the Bangladesh innings from a slightly difficult position to take the total to a massive one. 

Mosaddek had arrived at the crease at 140 for four after 25.3 overs, following the dismissal of Nahmul Hossain Shanto. With only Tawhid Hridoy and Mehidy Hasan Miraz remaining among the batters, Mosaddek took things into his own hands with his highest-ever ODI score. The 70-ball knock featured seven fours and three sixes as Bangladesh ended with 284 for eight. 

Medium pacer Nathan Ellis was the most successful Aussie bowler with three wickets for 38 runs.

Part-time spinner Matt Renshaw accounted for Litton Das and Najmul Hossain Shanto as Bangladesh reached 167 for four in 30 overs. 

Litton (7 off 9) gave a return catch to the off-spinner while Shanto (67 off 86) was caught by Cooper Connolly off the bowling of Renshaw as Bangladesh lost a bit of momentum heading into the business end of the innings.

Tanzid Hasan Tamim and Najmul Hossain Shanto were scoring at a brisk pace after the early dismissal of Saif Hassan in the first ODI against Australia in Mirpur on Tuesday.

Saif failed again, falling to Nathan Ellis in the second over of the game after scoring just five runs. Marnus Labuschagne took a great catch at slip to remove the right-hander. 

Shanto could have followed suit to if his simple catch was not grassed in slip a couple of overs later.  

Tanzid fell to Ellis after a 44-ball 54 as Shanto neared his half-century. At the fall of his wicket, Bangladesh were 106 for two in 16.3 overs.
