Bangladesh registered only their second-ever ODI win over Australia, beating a depleted Australian side by 86 runs via the DLS method in the first match of the series in Mirpur on Tuesday.Returning to ODI cricket after four years, Mosaddek Hossain made an unbeaten 86 off 70 balls. Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 67, while opener Tanzid Hasan added 54 as Bangladesh posted 284/8.In reply, Australia were restricted to 191/9 in 42.2 overs before lightning and rain stopped play. Chasing 285, Australia still needed 94 runs from 46 balls when the match was halted and it could not be resumed. Cameron Green remained unbeaten on 52 off 66 balls.Fast bowler Nahid Rana led Bangladesh’s bowling attack with 4/41, regularly touching 140 kph. Mosaddek also contributed with the ball, returning figures of 2/37 from his 10 overs.Australia’s chase got off to the worst possible start when Matthew Short was bowled by Taskin Ahmed off the first ball of the innings. Marnus Labuschagne, who had scores of 0, 5 and 19 in the recent ODI series against Pakistan, managed only 1 before being dismissed by Mustafizur Rahman.Cooper Connolly scored 35 and shared a 49-run partnership with captain Josh Inglis (19) before adding another 40 runs with Alex Carey (47). However, Mosaddek dismissed Connolly and Rana struck three times in three overs during his second spell to put Bangladesh firmly in control.Mosaddek’s innings included seven fours and three sixes. He was dropped twice before reaching his half-century by Connolly and Oliver Peake, while Adam Zampa missed another chance when he was on 73.Shanto also survived an early chance on 9 before going on to register his 12th ODI half-century.For Australia, Nathan Ellis was the most successful bowler with 3/38 after also impressing in the recent Pakistan series.The victory was Bangladesh’s first ODI win over Australia since 2005.

NHL insider reveals LA Kings lured Peter Laviolette away from Toronto

Peter Laviolette’s move to Los Angeles Kings may have altered the Maple Leafs‘ coaching plans more than initially expected. The veteran coach is reportedly set to become the Kings’ next head coach, leaving Toronto and Edmonton as the only teams still searching for a head coach ahead of the 2026-27 season.

While Laviolette had been linked to both openings, NHL insider Nick Kypreos suggested Toronto believed it was close to hiring the veteran coach before Los Angeles entered the picture.

“I was told on Friday that Laviolette was going to be the next coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs,” Kypreos said, according to an X post shared by a Leafs fan account. “He was spotted in town, and I would imagine that L.A. did some fast talking on Saturday or Sunday. We could’ve been looking at a press conference on Monday or Tuesday. Did L.A. essentially swoop in and steal him from the Leafs?”

If true, Laviolette’s decision leaves Toronto back in the market after another experienced candidate came off the board.

TSN insider Pierre LeBrun recently reported that the Maple Leafs have moved into the next stage of their coaching search, with in-person interviews expected to begin this week. According to LeBrun, around five candidates remain under consideration.

Joe Pavelski is among the names that have surfaced in recent days, though reports have also suggested the organization may still prefer someone with more coaching experience.

The Maple Leafs parted ways with Craig Berube after missing the playoffs last season, with general manager John Chayka leading the search for the franchise’s next head coach.

Peter Laviolette brings decades of NHL experience to Los Angeles

The Kings are turning to one of the NHL’s most experienced coaches. According to ESPN, Los Angeles is signing Laviolette to a three-year contract. Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic also reported that the deal will run for three seasons.

Laviolette did not coach last season after leaving the New York Rangers following the 2024-25 season. Over 23 seasons as an NHL head coach, Laviolette has worked with the Islanders, Hurricanes, Flyers, Predators, Capitals and Rangers.

He has coached 1,594 NHL games and owns an 846-562-161 record with 14 playoff appearances. Laviolette won the Stanley Cup with Carolina in 2006 and later led both Philadelphia and Nashville to the Stanley Cup Final.

He takes over a Kings team that reached the playoffs last season but was swept by Colorado in the opening round. Los Angeles made a coaching change after moving on from Jim Hiller with D.J. Smith guiding the team through the remainder of the season on an interim basis.

The Kings will now hope Laviolette’s experience can help them move beyond the early playoff exits that have followed the franchise in recent years.
