Bangladesh claim first test win in Australia as Green ton in vain
Melbourne, Aug 16 - In a remarkable upset, Bangladesh secured their first-ever test victory against Australia in Darwin on Sunday, winning by nine wickets in stifling heat at Marrara Oval. Cameron Green put up a valiant century, but it proved futile as Bangladesh chased down 57 runs to clinch the historic win. The victory, within four days, marked a significant milestone, making Bangladesh the top-ranked test nation in their backyard.
The batting heroics of Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who took four crucial wickets, proved decisive in the match, leading to Australia's collapse.
