[edit] Test Series
Australia and Bangladesh contested a two match test series in Darwin and Carins. While the introduction of test cricket outside the state capital cities were welcomed by fans in the north of Australia, there were concerns that the gulf between the two teams would produce a lopsided contest.[2]
- 1st Test (Darwin) Australia won by innings and 132 runs
- 2nd Test (Cairns) Australia won by innings and 98 runs
[edit] One Day Series
Australia won the ODI series 3-0.
- 1st ODI (Cairns) Australia won by 8 wickets
- 2nd ODI (Cairns) Australia won by 9 wickets
- 3rd ODI (Darwin) Australia won by 112 runs
