Bangladesh Claims Historic First Win in Australia with 9-Wicket Victory in 1st Test
Mehidy Hasan Miraz took seven wickets as Bangladesh dominated with bat and ball and sealed a 57-run chase in four days, officials said.
- On Sunday, Bangladesh completed a landmark nine-wicket victory over Australia in the series-opener in Darwin, marking one of Test cricket's greatest upsets.
- It took 23 years for Australia to host Bangladesh in a second Test series since sweeping them 2-0 in 2003, motivating captain Najmul Hossain Shanto's side to prove their worth.
- Opener Tanzid Hasan scored 101 to help Bangladesh post 426 in reply to Australia's 198, while spin-bowling all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz took decisive wickets as Australia were bowled out for 284.
- All-Rounder Cameron Green scored a valiant 104 before being bowled, but Mominul Haque cut Beau Webster to the fence for winning runs in stifling heat at Marrara Oval.
- Flooring a full-strength Australia in their own backyard is regarded as the South Asian nation's finest victory in 26 years of playing the game's longest format.
