BAN vs AUS 2nd ODI: 0-3! No, this is not a score from a game from the FIFA World Cup 2026. This is a cricket score from an ODI match involving Bangladesh and Australia. And you would be wrong to assume the arguably the greatest team, Australia, took three wickets without letting a run being scored by the forever underdogs, Bangladesh. Playing at home, the Bangla Tigers have stunned their guests as they took three wickets in the first two overs. Taskin Ahmed struck with the fourth ball of the match as he dismissed Matthew Short for his third duck in a row. Mustafizur Rahman then picked up a couple of wickets in the second over to push the Aussies further on the back foot.
To make matters worse for them, the Aussies did not manage to score a single run from the first 12 balls. Having lost the opening match of the series, the Josh Inglis-led side needs to avoid a defeat to keep the series alive.

Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed gave the Bangladeshi fans a taste of what is about to come as they turned a cricket score into a football one ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Australia started by losing 3-0 in Dhaka after choosing to bat first. Good pitch, good bowling, poor batting #BANvAUS

On a pitch that is not too alien for the Australian team, they have been pretty disappointing. The Aussies would not have imagined having such poor batting results, and even in their wildest dreams, they would not have believed that it would be the fast bowlers who would be their undoing.
Australia batting like they bought a new cricket game on PlayStation and don’t know the controls yet.#BANvAUS

The Australian team was trolled for playing like they do not know the controls of a video game.

Even the fans of the Bangladesh national cricket team were shocked to see how the mighty Australian team had fallen.
Losing 3 wickets for 0 runs in an ODI match:

Australia became only the fourth team in the history of One-Day cricket to lose three wickets without a run on the board.
Still a good wicket to bat & the batting should get better once the ball gets a bit softer . Australia need to see off this tough phase and cash on later #BANvAUS

With the probability of batting getting easier as the ball gets old, fans wonder if the visitors could cash on after seeing off this tough phase.
