Bangladesh beat Australia by nine wickets in Darwin to record their first Test victory on Australian soil, taking a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series. Australia reached 7 for 228 in their second innings thanks to a century from Cameron Green but were bowled out for 284 after Mehidy Hasan Miraz and others applied pressure. Nathan Lyon and Josh Hazlewood added runs late to set Bangladesh a target of 57. Bangladesh chased the 57 with nine wickets in hand, completing the run chase without serious alarm. Mehidy Hasan Miraz finished the match with a five-wicket haul in Australia’s second innings, a key contribution to the historic win. The result immediately hands Bangladesh a rare away Test triumph and leaves Australia facing scrutiny ahead of a packed Test schedule.
