Bangladesh thrash Australia for historic win
Bangladesh thrash Australia by nine wickets on the fourth day of the series-opener in Darwin to complete one of Test cricket's greatest upsets.
In a historic upset, Bangladesh defeated Australia by nine wickets in the first Test of their series in Darwin, marking their most significant victory in the sport in 26 years. The match, played over five days, saw Bangladesh's bowlers, particularly spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz, dominate Australia's batsmen. The game's crucial moment came when Mominul Haque delivered a boundary for the winning runs, celebrating the nation's first Test triumph in Australia.
Despite Australia's valiant efforts, including a 104-run performance from Cameron Green and a 65-run innings from Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Bangladesh's disciplined bowling and strategic batting prevailed. Australia's captain, Pat Cummins, acknowledged the visitors' superior performance, stating that his team "outplayed us in all facets." The win was hailed as one of Australia's most embarrassing defeats in Test history.
