Bangladesh stunned a full-strength Australia in Darwin to secure one of the biggest wins in their cricket history. The victory joins their iconic upsets over Pakistan in 1999, Australia in 2005, India in 2007 and New Zealand in 2022. Despite missing key pacers, Bangladesh dominated Australia, winning the Test by nine wickets.
Darwin: Bangladesh have managed to pull off a miraculous win over Australia in the first Test match of the ongoing two-game series. Najmul Hossain Shanto's team tamed a full-strength Australian side in Darwin on Sunday to achieve what will be remembered far from the boundary ropes and for ages to come.
Captain Shanto called it "the biggest win for Bangladesh in any format", and it reflects considering how big a mountain they have moved. Playing without their premier fast bowlers Nahid Rana and Shoriful Islam, both of whom were not available due to injuries, and defeating a full-strength Australian team will indeed stand out as their biggest achievement to date.
Here, IANS takes a look at five biggest upsets that Bangladesh have ever produced in all formats.
