Bangladesh Make History with First Test Win in Australia
Sports Desk ||
Bangladesh have ended
a 23-year wait for a Test victory on Australian soil, defeating Australia by
nine wickets in the Darwin Test to create a historic moment in the country’s
cricket history.Chasing just 57 runs
for victory on the fourth day, Bangladesh suffered an early setback when
first-innings centurion Tanzid Hasan Tamim was dismissed for a duck. However,
Mominul Haque and Shadman Islam calmly guided the team to the target, sealing a
nine-wicket victory.As Mominul hit the
winning runs, Bangladesh’s players celebrated in the dressing room and dugout.
Bangladeshi supporters in the stands also erupted in celebrations, chanting
“Bangladesh, Bangladesh.”Bangladesh’s bowlers
were the key to the victory. Mehidy Hasan Miraz dismantled Australia’s second
innings with a five-wicket haul, finishing with 5-66. Hasan Mahmud also
impressed with three wickets, taking nine wickets in the match.Australia were
eventually bowled out for 284 in their second innings. Cameron Green’s century
helped the hosts avoid an innings defeat, but they could not set Bangladesh a
challenging target.Earlier, Bangladesh
posted 426 in their first innings after Australia were dismissed for 198,
giving the visitors a commanding 228-run lead. Miraz contributed a crucial 65
with the bat, helping Bangladesh build their advantage.Australia entered
the series as the world’s top-ranked Test side, while Bangladesh were ranked
ninth. Despite the significant gap in rankings, Bangladesh dominated large
portions of the match with both bat and ball.The victory is
particularly significant as Bangladesh had never previously won a Test in
Australia. After returning to Australia for Test cricket following a 23-year
gap, the Tigers have now opened the door to a potentially historic series
victory.Bangladesh now lead
the two-match series 1-0, with one Test remaining.Score:
