AUS vs BAN: After more than two decades In Australia No team in the world, let alone Bangladesh, could have imagined such a disappointing start to the Test series being played. On the first day of the first Test to be played in Darwin in northern Australia, Bangladesh have bagged Australia's four crucial wickets for 74 runs by lunch. The Bangladeshi team had entered the field without their key fast bowlers. Due to this, many people thought that the performance of Bangladesh will be disappointing. But it seems that this innings has been reversed.

The first wicket fell on 45 runs and the fourth on 74 runs

After winning the toss Australia Bangladesh asked to bowl. The visitors' fast bowlers, with the help of opener Hasan Mahmood, rattled the Kangaroos' top order. Hasan Mahmood, the first wicket-taker, dismissed opener Jake Weatherold, but the team continued to lose wickets at regular intervals thereafter. Weatherold was dismissed for 23 off 37 balls, taking Australia to 45 in 11.4 overs. But Australia lost four wickets in the next 29 runs.

Head, Labuschagne and Green, all became masters

Jake Weatherold was retained in the squad despite his poor form in last season's Ashes series against England, but he could not convert his good start into big scores. Australia received another shock in the form of Travis Head. Hasan Mahmood clean bowled the head in just two overs. Head scored 22 off 39 balls. Before the team could recover from the shock, Marnus Labuschagne, who came in to bat at number three, became Ibadat Hussain's first victim with 1 run in 20 balls. Before lunch, Cameron Green became Taskin Ahmed's second victim with 13 off 13 balls.

Steve Smith's Solo Battle

Former captain Steve Smith, the backbone of Australia's middle order, is unbeaten on seven off 25 balls. Wickets Alex Carey and Beau Webster are the next batsmen. We all know that captain Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc can also bat well. Hazlewood has been included in the squad in place of fast bowler Scott Boland. Due to this, in the first test, we have to see how exactly Australia will hold up against the Bangladeshi pacers and not only that, but also how the Bangladeshi players will fight on the field.
