Australia vs Bangladesh – 1st ODI
The 1st ODI of the Australia Tour of Bangladesh 2026 will see Bangladesh take on Australia on Tuesday, June 9, at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka. The match is scheduled to begin at 11:00 AM local time (5:00 AM GMT / 10:00 PM PT / 1:00 AM ET).
Bangladesh come into this match with a balanced squad led by Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Their batting lineup includes Soumya Sarkar, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, and Litton Das. Litton Das remains one of the most dependable batters, while Shanto and Hridoy can anchor the innings in the middle order.
The team also has strong all-round options in Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mosaddek Hossain, providing depth in both batting and bowling. Miraz’s off-spin could play a crucial role on the Dhaka pitch.
Bangladesh’s bowling attack features Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Tanvir Islam, and Rishad Hossain. Mustafizur’s variations and Taskin’s pace will be key weapons, especially in the powerplay and death overs.
Australia, led by Mitchell Marsh, bring a powerful and experienced squad. Their batting lineup includes Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Cameron Green, Josh Inglis, and Alex Carey. Travis Head’s aggressive approach at the top can put immediate pressure on the opposition, while Labuschagne provides stability.
Australia also boast quality all-rounders like Cameron Green, Mitchell Marsh, and Cooper Connolly, giving them flexibility in team combination and balance.
The bowling unit includes Adam Zampa, Nathan Ellis, Xavier Bartlett, Ben Dwarshuis, and Tanveer Sangha. Zampa’s leg-spin could be very effective on subcontinent pitches, while Ellis and Bartlett can deliver with the new ball.
The Shere Bangla National Stadium pitch is known for assisting spinners, especially as the match progresses. Batters need to settle in before playing aggressive shots. A score of around 260–280 could be competitive on this surface.
