On expected grounds, Bangladesh humiliated Australia in the first of the three ODIs by 86 runs (DLS Method) to go 1-0 up in the series. Australia was never a match for Bangladesh heading into this series, given the form Bangladesh was carrying at home, and their win over the reigning ODI World Cup champions didn’t come as a surprise. The two teams will now gear up to face each other at the same venue, i.e., at Mirpur, Dhaka, in the second ODI of the series. In this post, we have come up with free expert tips for the 2nd ODI of the Australia Tour of Bangladesh 2026 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka.
Australia was no match against the hosts, who gave them no respite at all. Heading into the second game of the series, the hosts would be brimming with confidence and would look to take an unassailable lead in the series. For years, we have been told that the Aussies don’t give up easily, but their current contingent looks completely outclassed and flustered. Winning and losing are part of the game, but the way these Aussies have been playing away from home across formats, it seems like they have forgotten their legacy. Therefore, expect Bangladesh to have the last laugh in the second game. Let’s continue with the post and find out the best cricket tips for the 2nd ODI of the Australia Tour of Bangladesh 2026 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka.
BAN: 64% win chance AUS: 36% win chance

Check out our prediction for the BAN vs AUS 2nd ODI at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka.
Australia find themselves staring at history as they risk losing their first‑ever ODI series to Bangladesh. The opening clash in Dhaka was a humbling experience, with the hosts thrashing the Aussies by 86 runs (DLS method) to go 1‑0 up in the three‑match series. Given Bangladesh’s formidable home record and recent form, the result was hardly unexpected, but it has left Australia in a precarious position.
The batting unit has been underwhelming, failing to match Bangladesh’s intensity. Players like Josh Inglis, Matthew Short, Matt Renshaw, and Cameron Green must shoulder responsibility and deliver meaningful contributions if Australia are to mount a comeback. Their inability to build partnerships has been a glaring weakness, and correcting that will be crucial in the remaining fixtures.
On the bowling front, senior pros Adam Zampa and Nathan Ellis need to step up, maintaining disciplined lines and lengths to contain Bangladesh’s aggressive batting. With the hosts riding a wave of confidence, Australia must regroup quickly, rediscover their fighting spirit, and produce a collective performance. Anything less could see them surrender a historic series to Bangladesh.
Bangladesh stand on the cusp of creating history as they eye their first‑ever ODI series win against Australia. The hosts were ruthless in the opening clash, dismantling the Aussies by 86 runs (DLS method) to take a 1‑0 lead in the three‑match series. Australia looked completely outclassed, unable to cope with the intensity and confidence Bangladesh carried into the contest.
Heading into the second ODI, the Tigers will be brimming with belief, eager to seal an unassailable lead and etch their name into the record books. Their dominance at home has been a hallmark of their rise in 50‑over cricket, and this series offers them the perfect stage to showcase their maturity and consistency.
For Australia, the challenge is immense. Traditionally known for their fighting spirit, this current contingent appears flustered and far removed from the legacy of resilience that once defined them. Winning and losing are part of the game, but the manner in which the Aussies have faltered away from home across formats raises serious questions. Unless their batters and bowlers rediscover discipline and intent, Bangladesh may well script a historic triumph. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
