Bangladesh made history at Mirpur on Thursday, securing their first-ever ODI series victory over Australia with a five-wicket win in the rain-affected second match, reports UNB.
Following a lengthy weather delay that revised their target via the DLS method, the hosts chased down 192 runs in just 35 overs, sealing the three-match bilateral series with a game to spare.
Prime Minister Tarique Rahman congratulated the Bangladesh cricket team on securing their first-ever ODI series victory against Australia.
When the play resumed after the rain interruption, Bangladesh's target was adjusted to 192 from 41 overs. The chase began with an early hiccup when opener Tanzid Hasan fell to Xavier Bartlett for a duck in the first over.
