Alex Carey said that Australia paid the price for failing to keep Nahid Rana out of the game in the opening match of the three-ODI series against Bangladesh.

The 23-year-old Rana tore through the Australian batting line-up with a devastating 4 for 41, helping Bangladesh secure a historic 86-run win (DLS method) at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Tuesday (June 9).

"He [Rana] bowled really well," Carey said after the defeat. "I think we all knew the pace, but I guess until you face it firsthand, he's a really tall athlete and gets a bit of bounce as well. So he bowled really well. That's what I will say, and we've got now a chance to play against him in the next two ODIs here on Thursday and Sunday and hopefully we can keep him out of the series from now on.

"Yeah, we've watched his highlights and the vision of him and I thought his second spell, he came back and we knew what to expect, I guess. We just weren't able to keep him out of the game. But that's what you expect as well, is some fast bowlers getting into the contest. So hopefully, like I said a couple of times, we can change that and keep him out of the series moving forward."

Carey added that Australia were not overly concerned by the defeat and were already looking ahead to the next game. For Bangladesh, it was their first ODI win over Australia since their historic victory in Cardiff in 2005.

"Look, we stay pretty calm. It wasn't a great day for us. We've got lots of areas we can improve on, which is I guess a good thing, but it's a matter of now getting back into the series on Thursday. So we've got a really good group of staff. We've got some senior players here and we've got some young players as well learning, but I think for this group, we'll stay really calm and we'll reflect over the next 24 hours," said Carey.

"It's a short turnaround, which is great. We recover tomorrow and we're back into it, so that's exciting for us. And hopefully our performance can be a lot better on Thursday.

"Obviously it wasn't a great way to start the series and full credit to Bangladesh and the way that they played. There were different conditions to what we've seen here and where we had been the last couple of weeks over in Pakistan, but I thought we didn't quite get it right in all facets, really," he said.

"Our fielding was a bit sloppy. Our quicks and spinners toiled away and we had our chances, and then obviously with the bat, clump of wickets so not a great way to start the series, but it is a series. We've got two games to go and hopefully we can respond really well from this one," he concluded.
