Australia's men's cricket team has recorded three consecutive matches with 0-run opening partnerships, equalling New Zealand's 2015 record. The streak began in their final two ODIs against Pakistan and continued in the first ODI against Bangladesh in Mirpur. Matthew Short has been involved in all three instances, dismissed for a duck alongside different partners each time. The team's struggles are exacerbated by injuries and absences from key players, putting further pressure on their inexperienced squad. The next ODI against Bangladesh will be crucial to halt this unwanted trend.
