Bangladesh made history in Darwin by posting a winning score against the home team Australia for the first time. The Men in Green and Gold laid strong foundations in the opening encounter by sending the hosts packing for a meager 198. Hasan Mahmud played a starring role by picking up six wickets while Steve Smith's effort of 71 runs in 109 balls went in vain due to the poor contributions from the other teammates.

In reply, Bangladesh amassed a huge total of 426 in their opening innings. Tanzid Hasan Tamim, in his second Test, made a statement by scoring a brilliant century. Mominul Haque scored 49, Najmul Hossain Shanto remained not out at 84, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz remained unbeaten at 65 to help Tamim script his century in the win. The victory gave Bangladesh a huge 228-run lead in the match.

Australia Fight Back, But Bangladesh Hold Their Nerve

Australia fought valiantly but were too one-dimensional again as Cameron Green batted patiently before falling to one of Bangladesh's best bowlers. The left-hander scored 104 from 201 deliveries as Australia totaled 284, from which the tourists needed only 57 to win.

The chase looked to be slipping away when opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim was removed for a golden duck in the second over. Bangladesh remained calm and collected to record a stunning victory against the five-time world champions.

The win also means that Bangladesh has an excellent chance to record their first-ever Test series win over Australia.

The two sides have previously met in three Test series, with Australia winning two and the only other encounter, the 2017 series, being drawn 1-1. The result in Darwin will give Bangladesh their first-ever Test series win against Australia.

The 2017 series was the only time when the two sides met in a bilateral series that did not see Australia win the series. After Bangladesh stunned Australia with a famous victory in Dhaka, Australia responded with a win in Brisbane to draw the series.

Overall, the two teams have met seven times in Tests, with Australia winning five, one draw, and now one defeat. Bangladesh's win in Darwin is, in fact, their first-ever Test win in Australia.

Bangladesh had beaten Australia in their own home ground. The victory at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur came after a stunning performance by Shakib Al Hasan, who scored 89 and took 10 wickets.

Bangladesh stunned Australia once again in Darwin with their first-ever Test win in Australia. The victory also means that the Tigers have a fantastic opportunity to record their first-ever series win over the Kangaroos.
