Bangladeshi Tigers registered first win
Bangladeshi Tigers registered first win against Australia, a 5 wickets victory in a thrilling contest during their second ODI at Cardiff, Jun 18 2005, NatWest Series.
Australia had own the toss & elected to bat first and a total of 249 for five seemed more than adequate when Bangladesh were only 81 for three after 25 overs.
Mohammad Ashraful striking 11 fours in a dazzling, run-a-ball innings. He kissed the pitch after reaching a maiden one-day hundred with a single off McGrath.
No Welsh try at the nearby Millennium Stadium was ever greeted with a louder roar, and the collapse almost everyone expected never came. "This is probably one of the biggest upsets in the history of cricket, and my worst defeat as captain," said Ponting.
The coup de grace, however, was delivered by Aftab Ahmed. With seven needed for victory, it had all come down to the final over, delivered by Jason Gillespie. One blow put the contest beyond doubt - a mighty smear sailed clean over midwicket for six, to cue the most crazy scenes of jubilation ever witnessed at Sophia Gardens. Bangladesh had earned the respect of the cricketing world, and Australia's aura of invincibility was shattered.
Man of the Match: Mohammad Ashraful.
