sportsAug 16, 202629327

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 were bowled out for 284 in their second innings with Mehidy Hasan Miraz claiming 5 for 66 to set Bangladesh a target of 57. Bangladesh reached 57 with nine wickets in hand, completing the chase after Australia had built a lead thanks largely to Cameron Green’s 104. Alex Carey was dismissed caught behind off Mehidy as part of the collapse that handed Bangladesh the advantage. The win followed a reminder that Bangladesh had been dismissed for 54 in a recent tour match against a CA XI, underscoring how complete the visitors’ turnaround in Darwin was.
