The second ODI between Bangladesh and Australia at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka witnessed a shocking and historic batting collapse that stunned cricket fans.

After winning the toss and opting to bat first, Australia’s decision quickly backfired as their top order crumbled under relentless pressure from the Bangladeshi bowlers. In a rare and dramatic passage of play, the visitors found themselves reeling at 0 for 3, with all three top-order batters dismissed without scoring.

The collapse unfolded inside the first two overs, leaving Australia stunned and struggling for answers. Mustafizur Rahman led the charge with his signature variations and tight lines, dismantling the batting lineup alongside support from the rest of the attack.

Matthew Short fell first, followed quickly by Cooper Connolly and Matt Renshaw, as Australia’s innings unraveled in shocking fashion. Two of the wickets were claimed by Mustafizur Rahman, while Taskin Ahmed also struck early to deepen Australia’s trouble.

This marked a historic moment in ODI cricket — the first time Australia’s top three batters were dismissed for zero in the same innings. Across men’s ODI history, such a collapse has occurred only a handful of times, making this a rare and embarrassing entry in the record books.

With their top order wiped out almost immediately, Australia were forced into a recovery mission far earlier than expected, while Bangladesh seized complete control of the match momentum.
