In numbers: Why Bangladesh’s historic win over Australia is bigger than it looks
· Sports · Indian Express, BBC Sport, Times of India
Bangladesh secured a historic nine-wicket victory over Australia in Darwin on Sunday, claiming their first-ever Test win on Australian soil. The achievement makes Bangladesh the quickest Asian team to win a Test match in Australia, needing only three attempts. The result also marked Australia's first home Test defeat against an Asian team outside of India in 31 years, ending a streak that began after a Pakistan win in 1995. Hasan Mahmud opened the bowling effectively, while Tanzid Tamim contributed the defining batting performance in the second-biggest Test win by wickets for Bangladesh.
Why it matters
The victory ends a 23-year drought for Asian teams other than India winning a Test in Australia and marks a major milestone in Bangladesh Test cricket history.
