Bangladesh register historic Test win over Australia

Bangladesh achieved a historic nine-wicket victory over Australia in the first Test match in Darwin, marking their first-ever Test win against the Australians. Chasing 57 for victory, Bangladesh faced early setbacks with Tanzid Hasan losing his wicket to a duck. However, Shadman Islam and Mominul Haque calmly guided the team to a landmark win.

The win highlighted the team's character and performance, as stated by off-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who was the star of the show. Australia, batting first, were dismissed for 284 with Cameron Green providing a hard-fought century. Despite losing Tanzid Hasan to an early duck, Bangladesh's batting, bowling, and fielding were consistently superior to Australia's.

The bowlers made regular breakthroughs, keeping Australia under pressure and eventually sealing the victory.
