Bangladesh created a remarkable moment in international cricket during the second One Day International against Australia at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur. Winning the toss, Australian captain Josh Inglis chose to bat first, but his team suffered a disastrous start. Taskin Ahmed struck in the very first over, dismissing opener Matthew Short for zero. Mustafizur Rahman then took a wicket with his first ball, and before any runs were scored, Australia lost their third wicket, leaving them at 0 for 3.

This was the first time in Australia’s long ODI history that they lost their first three wickets without scoring a run. Bangladesh also achieved this for the first time in their own ODI history. Previously, Australia’s worst early collapse had been at 5 for 3. The event is extremely rare in world cricket, having occurred only three times before, involving Pakistan twice and Bangladesh once.

The performance followed Bangladesh’s historic win in the first ODI, boosting their confidence and marking one of the most memorable starts in the nation’s cricket history.
