Australia have crashed to their first ODI loss against Bangladesh in 21 years, crushed by 86 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis system in the opening match of their three-game series.

Bangladesh, hosting Australia in a men’s ODI for the first time since 2011, posted a formidable 8-284 after being sent in at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka on Tuesday, before restricting the tourists to 9-191 from 42.2 overs when lightning and rain ended play.
