And finally, the day has come when the Bengal Tigers of Bangladesh outplayed the Kangaroos of Australia. In the opening game of 2-match series, Mushfiqur Rahim & Co. beat the Aussies by 20 runs. It has happened for the first time in the history of cricket that the Bangladesh cricket team defeated the Australian side in a Test match. Shakib Al Hasan’s 10 wickets (a fifer in each inning) made the Aussies surrender in Mirpur.

Despite a magnificent hundred by David Warner in the second innings, the guests failed to chase the target of 265 runs. Towards the end, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins tried their best to pull the game on their side but Hazlewood was caught on the leg by Taijul to seal the contest and for crazy celebrations to begin in Dhaka.

On the other hand, the Man of the Match, Shakib, took a total of 10 wickets in Tests for the second time. He dismissed the Aussies batsmen including Warner, Smith, Usman Khawaja, Glenn Maxwell and Matthew Wade. He was ably supported by fellow spinners Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan.

The entire Bangladeshi dugout was happy for this achievement. Beating Australia was never easy for this team, however, they took the advantage of playing on the home soil and did the impossible. Soon after the Bangla hosts registered this victory, people on Twitter wished them for their miraculous performance. From Sachin Tendulkar to other big cricketers, everyone was amazed at Bangladesh’s performance.
