Opener Cooper Connolly played the innings of his life, smashing a brilliant 149 runs off 134 balls to power Australia to a dramatic one-wicket victory over Bangladesh in Mirpur. Chasing 275, Australia survived a late-order collapse triggered by Shoriful Islam's career-best 6-48, ultimately crossing the finish line with just three balls to spare. While the thrilling victory helped a depleted Australian side avoid a humiliating 3-0 series whitewash, Bangladesh still celebrated a historic milestone by securing their first-ever bilateral ODI series win against the visitors by 2-1.
