A Historic win for Bangladesh against New-Zealand !!!
Did you know what's happened last night? I think, already everyone known about the victory of Bangladesh men's cricket team against New-Zealand in New-Zealand. That’s a historic win where they have beaten the world test Champions and the Number - 01 test team in current ICC test rankings. That's the first win across formats for Bangladesh in New-Zealand. Today, many Bangladeshi people woken up early to witness this historic moment. That's the gift for every supporters of this new year 2022 from Bangladesh National Cricket Team.
But, before this game the situation wasn’t good at all. BD men's cricket team passed bad time with both bat and balls. They played worst in World Cup T-20 and after this they became whitewash Against Pakistan at home venue. Also their previous performances wasn't good at all in New-Zealand. On the other hand, New-Zealand is the hardest team to face in their home soil. They are the current Champions of World test Championship and few daya ago, they played T-20 world cup final. But, Bangladesh ended both T-20 world cup and World test Championship with frustration. So before todays historic win, not many expected Bangladesh to even be competitive against Black Caps in New-Zealand.
Bangladesh dominated all five days in this test match. In Day-1, New-Zealand batted first and they posted 328 runs where Conway played an excellent knock . Conway scored 122 runs by playing 227 balls at an 53.74 strike rate. Bangladeshi bowlers restricted them early in Day-2 with excellent bowling performance from Shoriful Islam and Mahidy Hasan Miraz. Captain Mominul also got two crucial wickets of Conway and Henry Nicholls.
While batting in Day-2, Bangladeshi batters did a great job. The newcomer Mahmudul Hasan Joy played an excellent innings with Santo and made his maiden test 50. After Shanto and Joy's departure captain Mominul and Liton palyed outstandingly well. But due to bad luck, no one can score hundred runs. Bangladesh end third day with 6/401.
Day- 4 was a the turning point for Bangladesh. They made 130 runs lead for the first time in New-Zealand and also played brilliant with ball. After day-4, New-Zealand were five down at 147 runs where Ebadot taken four crucial wickets and that's makes Bangladesh to believe for a win. Bangladesh were on the field in Day-5 for win.
