Thanks for the many replies. The solution to the problem, courtesy of Maxim, was to specify the DataRange of the Matrix plot rather than the PlotRange
plotB=MatrixPlot[Transpose[dataB], DataRange -> {{1, 50000}, {1, 10}},
MaxPlotPoints -> {10, 50000}, AspectRatio -> 1/1.2,
ColorFunction -> StarryNightColors]
plotA = ListPlot[dataA, PlotJoined -> False, PlotStyle -> {PointSize[0.04]}, PlotRange -> {{1, 50000}, {1,10}}]
Show[plotA,plotB]
This ensures that the coordinate range plotted in the MatrixPlot will be the same as in the ListPlot. (The AspectRatio option is needed so keep the plot from being too skinny.)
