BAN vs AUS Live Score, 1st ODI: Bangladesh set a 285-run target for Australia

Mosaddek proves his credentials on ODI return - With two new batters in the middle and the lower order not far away, the situation demanded responsibility. Mosaddek and Hridoy answered that call, putting together a crucial 75-run partnership that steadied the innings when it mattered. Mosaddek took on the aggressor's role and brought up a fine fifty upon his return to the ODI setup, while Hridoy held the other end together with a rather slowish inning. But Hridoy's dismissal triggered another slide, and Mosaddek found himself stranded repeatedly as partners fell around him in the closing overs. Mosaddek batted till the very end, though, and a handy cameo from Taskin Ahmed gave the innings a late boost that helped Bangladesh finish with a strong total on the board.Control with the ball in the middle phase - Australia read the conditions nicely. They came hard with the pace early, extracting what was on offer, and then seamlessly shifted to spin once the surface began to assist the slower bowlers. Zampa was held back until the 23rd over, as Shanto kept the boundaries coming at regular intervals and also brought up his fifty. However, the tourists controlled that 21-30 over phase, where Australia conceded just 47 runs and picked up a couple of wickets. Zampa had a bit of an off day, but Renshaw in particular was disciplined and tidy, giving Bangladesh very little to free their arms against. The hosts, as has been their vulnerability, lost their way through that phase. Shanto fell for a fine 67, and the innings wobbled. From 106 1, Bangladesh slipped to 140 4.Positive intent by the top order - The Aussie seamers found early movement under overcast skies, and Ellis made it count, splitting the opening pair inside two overs. After that, Bangladesh took over. Shanto and Tanzid put together a fluent stand, batting with freedom and keeping the scoreboard moving at better than a run a ball throughout. Shanto, reprieved on 9, made the Aussies pay for the let-off, playing with intent and purpose. The bowlers searched for a length, searched for a line, and found neither for long stretches as the partnership flourished. It took Ellis himself to end it, coming back to break a 96-run stand.A strong finish for the hosts - Bangladesh would definitely be the happier of the two sides heading back in the sheds as they managed to score 70 runs in the last 10 overs. Australia, of all their fielding lapses and not being able to put on a lid in the final overs, would feel a psychological relief to have not led the hosts get past that 300 figure. For Australia, there might be some psychological relief in keeping the hosts below 300, but not much else to smile about. Ellis aside, the bowling lacked the control and penetration needed to put a lid on things late. And the fielding was nothing short of lackadaisical from the Aussies, well below their standards. Innings breakout - Powerplay 1 - Overs 1-10 - 62 1. Powerplay 2 - Overs 11-40 - 152 3. Powerplay 3 - Overs 41-50 - 70 4.Is that out?
