The visitors not only won the match but did so by nine wickets, marking the first time the South Asian side has triumphed on Australian soil in the longest format of the game.<\/p>\n<h2>Bangladesh\u2019s dominant first innings<\/h2>\n<p>Winning the toss, Bangladesh posted a formidable total of 426 runs in their first innings. The innings featured a century from Tanzid Hasan Tamim, who reached 101, and a solid contribution of 84 runs from Najmul Hossain Shanto. All\u2011rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz added a valuable 65 runs, reinforcing the team\u2019s lead. Australia\u2019s reply faltered at 198, with the most notable bowling figures belonging to Bangladesh\u2019s fast bowler Hasan Mahmud, who claimed six wickets for 89 runs.<\/p>\n<h2>Australia\u2019s fightback and Green\u2019s century<\/h2>\n<p>In the second innings, Australia rallied, scoring 284 runs. Cameron Green, on debut in a home Test, recorded his maiden Test century, reaching 104 and briefly pulling Australia into a 56\u2011run advantage. However, the lead remained precarious. Green, along with fast bowler Mitchell Starc, attempted to push the total further, but a 43\u2011run partnership between them was broken when Taskin Ahmed dismissed Starc with a nick behind.<\/p>\n<p>Green continued his innings, advancing to 85 by the lunch break on the fourth day. Yet his stay was cut short when he fell for 104, bowled by Hasan Mahmud, who completed the day\u2019s wicket tally with figures of three for 56 in the innings and a match total of nine for 111.<\/p>\n<h2>Mehidy Miraz\u2019s decisive spell<\/h2>\n<p>The turning point arrived when Mehidy Hasan Miraz unleashed a spell that dismantled Australia\u2019s lower order. After earlier removing Alex Carey and Beau Webster with two sharp deliveries, Miraz claimed the wicket of fast bowler Pat Cummins, who edged a short\u2011leg catch while still trailing the required runs.<\/p>\n<p>Miraz\u2019s persistence paid off as he completed a five\u2011wicket haul, finishing with five for 66. His final wicket came when he trapped veteran spinner Nathan Lyon lbw, sealing the innings and leaving Australia with a modest target of 57 runs.<\/p>\n<p>Bangladesh\u2019s chase was swift and confident. Opening batsman Mominul Haque guided the innings, remaining unbeaten on 30, while Shadman Islam contributed without losing his wicket. The team reached the target with the loss of only one wicket, securing a nine\u2011wicket victory that silenced any lingering doubts about their competitiveness after a recent low\u2011scoring encounter against a Cricket Australia XI.<\/p>\n<p>The win not only highlighted Bangladesh\u2019s growing depth in both batting and bowling but also underscored Mehidy Hasan Miraz\u2019s rising stature. The five\u2011for marked his 15th such achievement in Test cricket, complementing the 65\u2011run innings he had delivered a day earlier.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, the match featured a total of 1,211 runs across four innings, with notable performances including Tanzid Hasan Tamim\u2019s 101, Cameron Green\u2019s 104, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz\u2019s all\u2011round contribution of 65 runs and five wickets. Bangladesh\u2019s historic triumph adds a new chapter to their cricketing narrative and signals a shift in the balance of power in Test cricket, especially on traditionally dominant Australian pitches.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bangladesh secured its first Test win on Australian soil, beating the hosts by nine wickets in Darwin, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz claiming a five\u2011wicket haul and a crucial 65\u2011run innings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1723,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[299],"tags":[1550,1577,1611,1610,1551],"class_list":["post-1722","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-australia","tag-bangladesh-cricket","tag-historic-win","tag-mehidy-hasan-miraz","tag-test-cricket","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1722","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1722"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1722\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
