In a historic clash for Bangladesh cricket, the team celebrated a remarkable ODI series victory over Australia, even as concerns surfaced over captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz's health. The all-rounder suffered a concussion after a brutal bouncer by Riley Meredith during the thrilling match in Dhaka.

The tense moment unfolded in the 34th over with Mehidy collapsing after the hit, prompting immediate medical attention from both team's staff. Despite his distress, including episodes of vomiting, Mehidy’s resilience shone through as he continued to bat, eventually leading Bangladesh to victory with a critical 22-run contribution.

Following the match, Bangladesh's team physio confirmed that Mehidy was hospitalized for observation, though he was considered out of danger. His absence at the post-match presentations was filled by vice-captain Najmul Hossain Shanto. Earlier, Bangladesh's bowlers had dismantled the Australian batting lineup, setting the stage for the host's triumph.
