Opener Cooper Connolly blazed 149 runs off 134 balls to lead Australia to a dramatic one-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the third and final one-day match in Mirpur on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh had already clinched the series by winning the first two matches, but Cooper\u2019s innings overshadowed a career-best 6-48 by left-arm pace bowler Shoriful Islam.<\/p>\n

Set 275 to win, Australia scraped home with three balls to spare when Adam Zampa hit a cover drive to the boundary off Taskin Ahmed.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh earlier reached 274-5 after winning the toss, with Towhid Hridoy leading the way with a composed innings of 83 off 88 balls.<\/p>\n

Australia started its run chase strongly, racing to 40 before losing captain Josh Inglis to Shoriful in the fifth over.<\/p>\n

Shoriful then bowled Matt Renshaw for a duck two balls later to have Australia at 40-2.<\/p>\n

Australia was then wobbling at 70-3 when Alex Carey fell for eight to a stunning catch by Soumya Sarkar at short cover off Taskin.<\/p>\n

Connolly refused to buckle, the 25-year-old opener sharing a 64-run stand with Marnus Labuschagne (29) and then similarly valuable partnerships with Cameron Green and Oliver Peake.<\/p>\n

Shoriful removed Peake and Xavier Bartlett with successive deliveries, but Ben Dwarshuis denied him the hat-trick.<\/p>\n

Dwarshuis\u2019s dismissal soon after left Australia needing five runs from 15 balls with two wickets in hand.<\/p>\n

Tanzid Hasan then dropped a straightforward chance at gully off Zampa that eemed to deflate Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

Connolly finally fell to Mustafizur after scoring his first ODI century, an innings studded with 13 fours and six sixes.<\/p>\n

That left Australia four runs short with nine balls remaining, with Zampa and tail-ender Riley Meredith at the crease.<\/p>\n

Zampa then found the cover boundary on the third ball of the final over from Taskin.<\/p>\n

In Bangladesh\u2019s innings, Litton Das (58) and Mosaddek Hossain (56) made unbeaten half-centuries to provide support for Hridoy, who scored his 13th ODI half-century.<\/p>\n

Litton retired hurt on 48 with a muscle injury but returned to bring up his first ODI fifty at Mirpur.<\/p>\n

Bartlett and Renshaw picked up two wickets apiece for Australia.<\/p>\n
