Australia have slumped to their first ever ODI series defeat against Bangladesh after losing by five wickets in the second match of their three-game series.
After crashing to an unprecedented 3-0 from the first two overs at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Tuesday, the Aussies recovered to salvage 8-187 from 42 overs when rain forced the players off the field at Mirpur.
Play was delayed for 160 minutes before Bangladesh, set a revised target of 192 from 41 overs via DLS method, strolled to victory - and an unassailable 2-0 series lead - with 36 balls in hand, sealed by captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz's six off Riley Meredith.
Australia were behind the eight-ball from the outset, creating unwanted history by losing their first three wickets before scoring a run for the first time in ODIs.
