Australia suffered only their second one-day international defeat by Bangladesh - and first for 21 years - in a comprehensive humbling in the series opener in Mirpur.
Australia, without a host of first-team players for the tour, dropped six catches, including four to reprieve all-rounder Mosaddek Hossain as he made 86 in Bangladesh's 284-8.
The tourists slipped to 2-2 in reply as they lost Matt Short, to the first ball, and Marnus Labuschagne.
Australia laboured to 191-9 before a storm ended play and sealed a 86-run defeat under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method. Alex Carey made 47 and Cameron Green 52 not out.
The pacy Nahid Rana took 4-41, including Carey and stand-in captain Josh Inglis, while spinner Mosaddek claimed 2-37 on his first appearance for four years.
Bangladesh's only other ODI win over Australia came at Cardiff in 2005 in a tri-series involving England.
The second ODI also takes place at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on Thursday.
The three-match series could be significant for England and qualification for the 2027 World Cup.
