Bangladesh cricket has been trending hard this week, and two names are driving most of the search traffic: the ongoing Australia vs Bangladesh Test and star all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Between his all-round performance in Darwin and a string of personal questions fans keep typing into Google, there’s a lot to unpack. Here’s a complete, easy-to-follow guide covering the live match situation, Miraz’s career numbers, and answers to the most-asked questions about him.
Australia vs Bangladesh Live Score: What’s Happening in Darwin
The 1st Test between Australia and Bangladesh, being played at Marrara Stadium in Darwin from August 13–17, 2026, has turned into a proper contest — not the one-sided affair many expected. Bangladesh batted first and put up a commanding total of 426, built around a gritty middle-order effort in which Mehidy Hasan Miraz played a starring role with the bat before turning things around with the ball.
As things stand heading into the final stretch of the match, Australia have been made to work hard. Chasing a big first-innings total, the hosts were bowled out for 198 in their first innings and, following on, have been fighting to save the game in their second innings. At the time of writing, Australia are placed at 207 for 6 in their second innings, still trailing Bangladesh by 21 runs — meaning Bangladesh remain firmly in control with a real chance of victory as play moves into the final day.

Mehidy’s contribution has been central to Bangladesh’s strong position — a fighting half-century with the bat in the first innings, followed by important breakthroughs with his off-spin as Australia tried to bat their way out of trouble. It’s the kind of all-round performance that has become something of a trademark for him over the past few years.
Who Is Mehidy Hasan Miraz?
For anyone searching “Mehidy Hasan Miraz” for the first time: he’s Bangladesh’s premier bowling all-rounder, an off-spinner who bowls tight, disciplined lines and a right-hand batter capable of digging his team out of trouble from the middle and lower order. He made his Test debut against England back in 2016 with a five-wicket haul, and since then has built a reputation as one of the most reliable all-format performers Bangladesh has produced. He currently captains Bangladesh’s ODI side.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz Stats — Test, ODI and T20I Career Numbers
Here’s a snapshot of his career numbers across formats. Since he’s an active international cricketer with a match currently in progress, these figures reflect his career through the recent past and will keep climbing with every series he plays.
| Format | Matches | Runs | 50s | 100s | Highest Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Test | 58 | 2231 | 9 | 2 | 104 |
| ODI | 125 | 1889 | 7 | 2 | 112* |
| T20I | 34 | 418 | 0 | 0 | 46 |
A few things worth calling out from that table:
- His two Test centuries came in different eras of his career — his maiden ton against West Indies in 2021, and a second one against Zimbabwe in 2025 that also came packaged with a five-wicket haul in the same match.
- Both his ODI hundreds were match-winning knocks under pressure — one of them a famous unbeaten century against India batting at No. 8, and the other his highest ODI score against Afghanistan in the 2023 Asia Cup.
- He remains without a century in T20Is, which lines up with his role in that format being more about tidy overs with the ball than big-hitting with the bat.
Is Mehidy Hasan Miraz married?
Yes, Mehidy Hasan Miraz is married. He tied the knot with his long-time partner in 2019, and the couple have a son together. His wife has largely stayed out of the media spotlight and away from the cricketing spotlight her husband occupies.
What happened to Mehdi Hasan Miraz?
This question is most likely tied to a scary moment fans saw during a Bangladesh ODI against Australia in mid-2026. While batting, Miraz was struck on the helmet by a fast, short-pitched delivery, went down to his knees, and was seen unwell on the field shortly after. Remarkably, he continued batting and helped finish off the chase before being taken to hospital as a precaution. He was kept under medical observation for close to a day, cleared after his scans came back fine, and released to recover at home — a moment widely praised as a show of grit by teammates and fans alike.
What is Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s current Test ranking?
As of the latest ICC Test All-Rounder rankings in 2026, Mehidy Hasan Miraz sits inside the top five in the world, currently placed 4th behind Ravindra Jadeja, Marco Jansen and Ben Stokes. It’s one of the best rankings of his career and reflects the consistency he’s shown with both bat and ball in Test cricket over the past couple of years.
Did Mehidy Hasan Miraz score an ODI century?
Yes — in fact, he has two. His first came in December 2022 against India, an unbeaten 100 batting at No. 8 that helped Bangladesh pull off an unlikely series-clinching win from a tricky position. His second, and his highest ODI score of 112, came against Afghanistan during the 2023 Asia Cup, a knock that also included a big partnership at the top of the order.
Final Word
With Bangladesh in the driver’s seat in Darwin and Mehidy Hasan Miraz once again at the centre of the story, this Test has quickly become one of the more compelling storylines of the current international season. Whether Bangladesh can close the game out on the final day or Australia find a way to bat themselves to safety, Miraz’s fingerprints are all over how this match has unfolded — and that’s exactly the kind of impact that’s kept him near the top of the world all-rounder rankings.
