  "account": "On the fourth day of the series-opener, Bangladesh stunned Australia by nine wickets in a thrilling Test match in Darwin. After Australia's hosts were dismissed for 284, Mominul Haque ensured victory with a brilliant run out of Beau Webster. Bangladesh, who hadn't played a five-day series in Australia since 2003, secured their first test win in the country. While Australia topped the rankings, this victory marked a significant turnaround. Veteran Steve Smith was the first to fall, followed by key players like Nathan Lyon, Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Starc. Australia's only home defeat against Bangladesh prior to this was in 2017. Though they lost, Australia's captain Pat Cummins commended the team's preparation and noted their lack of excuses. This victory is Bangladesh's greatest in Test cricket's 26-year history in the country.",
