  "account": "On Sunday, Bangladesh fans celebrated their nation's first Test win on Australian soil as Najmul Hossain Shanto's team defeated Australia by nine wickets at Marrara Stadium. This marked a historic moment for Bangladesh, as it was the first time they had won in Australia since 1999. The achievement was even more significant as it represented Bangladesh's return to Test cricket in the country for the first time in 23 years. The team's victory came after a formidable display in which they scored 426 runs and bowled Australia out for 284. Young fast bowler Hasan Mahmud took career-best figures of 6/26, while Tanzid Hasan scored a maiden century in just his second Test. However, it was allrounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz who truly steered Bangladesh to victory with his all-round performance of 5/56 in the second innings.",
