Bangladesh secured their first-ever Test victory on Australian soil, completing a nine-wicket win in the first Test in Darwin after Mominul Haque hit the winning runs to chase down a target of 57.
The tourists, who had been bowled out for 54 by a Cricket Australia XI in a warm-up match days earlier, bowled Australia out for 284 in the second innings despite Cameron Green's century of 104. Mehidy Hasan Miraz claimed five wickets in the innings, while Hasan Mahmud was named Player of the Match for his nine-wicket haul across both innings.
The defeat marked Australia's first home Test loss to Bangladesh and was described as one of the most humiliating in 149 years of Test cricket. Bangladesh's prime minister Tarique Rahman congratulated the team. The second Test begins in Mackay on 22 August.
