Australia start as clear favourites in the 1st ODI against Bangladesh at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Mirpur on Tuesday, 9 June 2026, with our recommended Dream11 captain Cameron Green and vice-captain Josh Inglis.
The series opener gets going at 11:00 AM local time (10:30 AM IST). The visitors arrive without Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Travis Head, while Mitchell Marsh is still nursing an ankle issue, so Inglis leads a young Australia side. Bangladesh, under Mehidy Hasan Miraz, will take back home conditions to bite.
History, however, sits firmly with Australia. They have won 6 of the 7 ODIs they have played in Bangladesh, with the seventh ending in a no-result. That said, this Bangladesh group beat New Zealand 2-1 at home in April 2026, so the gap looks narrower than the record suggests. Rain is the wild card; the Mirpur forecast points to thunderstorms during the day window.

Dream11 Team For BAN vs AUS 1st ODI
Top Picks For BAN vs AUS 1st ODI
| Player | Team | Role | Key Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cameron Green | AUS | All-Rounder | Captain pick. Returns to ODI duty after rebuilding bowling load. Bats top-order, bowls medium-fast. Two-way fantasy points; current focus is World Cup 2027 prep. |
| Josh Inglis | AUS | Wicket-keeper | Vice-Captain pick. Stand-in skipper with Marsh injured. Aggressive keeper-bat with safe glovework; stumpings off Zampa add a floor. Loves slow sub-continent decks. |
| Mustafizur Rahman | BAN | Bowler | Bangladesh’s death-overs specialist with knuckle balls and cutters. Mirpur deck suits his pace-off variations. Wickets in powerplay plus death-over economy. |
| Litton Das | BAN | Wicket-keeper | Senior Bangladesh keeper-bat, plays anchor at the top. Strong home record at Mirpur with multiple ODI fifties. Adds catches and likely stumpings against Zampa. |
| Marnus Labuschagne | AUS | Batter | Sweep specialist on slow tracks; rotates strike against spin. Comes off a sharp ODI run for Australia. Reliable middle-order points machine in any conditions. |
| Adam Zampa | AUS | Bowler | Australia’s premier ODI spinner. Mirpur turn and slowness practically gift-wrap wickets for a leg-spinner. Middle-overs strike rate is the standout number. |
Pitch Report
The Mirpur pitch is the most predictable variable in this fixture: slow, low, and built for spin. Average ODI first-innings scores hover around the 230 to 250 range, and pace-off variations rule the back end of an innings.
| Details | Information |
|---|---|
| Venue | Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Mirpur (capacity 25,416). |
| Pitch Type | Slow and low surface that heavily favours spinners. Pacers get help with the new ball through bounce, but the deck slows down sharply as the match progresses. Year-round cricket here has worn the square; uneven bounce shows up in the back half. |
| Average 1st Innings Score | Around 230 to 250 in ODIs historically. Anything above 260 is dominant on this track; below 220 is gettable. T20 averages sit at 150 to 155, which tells you how much the surface grips. |
| Pace vs Spin | PACE early Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Nahid Rana (BAN); Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Ben Dwarshuis (AUS). SPIN through the middle Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rishad Hossain, Tanvir Islam, Soumya Sarkar’s part-timers (BAN); Adam Zampa, Matthew Kuhnemann, Cooper Connolly (AUS). Middle overs are the prime wicket-taking phase here. |
| Toss Factor | Slight edge to CHASING. Mirpur surfaces tend to ease out under lights and chasing teams have won 52 to 55% of matches across formats. That said, an 11 AM start changes the equation since dew is a non-factor in a day game. |
| Key Matchup | Adam Zampa vs Bangladesh middle order. If Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy can rotate the strike against Zampa through overs 15 to 35, Bangladesh stay competitive. If Zampa gets two in his quota, Australia win comfortably. |
Weather Report
Dhaka in June means heat, humidity, and monsoon clouds. The forecast for 9 June 2026 shows a 65% chance of thunderstorms with highs near 32°C. DLS could very well decide this one.
| Details | Information |
|---|---|
| Temperature | 31 to 33°C (88 to 90°F). Sticky Dhaka afternoon with the monsoon already underway. |
| Sky | Cloudy with thunderstorm activity expected. Cloud cover should help the new-ball pacers. |
| Rain Chance | Around 65%. Light thunderstorms and rain on the forecast. A full 100-over game is far from guaranteed; expect at least one interruption and a possible DLS scenario. |
| Humidity | Around 80% to 85%. Players will tire quickly; the bench role matters in this heat. |
| Overall | Tricky conditions for batters and bowlers alike. Rain is the real concern. Build your Dream11 line-up with that in mind, since fewer overs reduce points for batters and reward bowlers with early wickets. |
BAN vs AUS 1st ODI Toss Prediction
The toss winner is likely to bowl first. Mirpur typically gets slower as the match wears on, and chasing teams have a 52 to 55% win rate at the venue. With rain in the forecast, batting second also gives the DLS calculation as a fallback.
If Mehidy Hasan Miraz (Bangladesh) wins, he should bowl first. The plan: Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed attack Inglis and Renshaw in the powerplay, then Mehidy and Rishad Hossain lock down Labuschagne through overs 15 to 35. Bangladesh have leaked late-overs runs in 2026, so Mustafizur saving overs for the death matters.
If Josh Inglis (Australia) wins, he is also likely to bowl first. Xavier Bartlett and Ben Dwarshuis get the new ball at Tanzid Hasan and Saif Hassan. Adam Zampa takes overs 12 to 35, with Cooper Connolly chipping in. Australia’s bowling depth is the bigger advantage; Bangladesh’s edge is conditions and crowd.
Injury Updates
Bangladesh: No fresh injury concerns. The 15-man ODI squad for the first two games is fully available, with Nahid Rana adding raw pace to the seam attack and Rishad Hossain providing leg-spin variety alongside captain Mehidy.
Australia: A long list of absentees. Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are all rested for the entire white-ball series. Travis Head misses the tour as well. Mitchell Marsh is still recovering from an ankle injury and may join the squad before the T20Is. Glenn Maxwell is unavailable for the T20I leg. Josh Inglis leads in Marsh’s absence, with Cameron Green stepping up as the all-format senior pro.
