Bangladesh have created history here at the Bay Oval in the first Test vs New Zealand. They defeated the home side by 8 wickets to register their first win in New Zealand.
Ebadot Hossain dismissed Ross Taylor in his first over to complete his maiden five-wicket haul. New Zealand just crumbled after that. The hosts managed to add just 22 runs to their overnight score of 147/5 leaving Bangladesh with just 40 runs to win.
Chasing, Bangladesh lost Shadman Islam early, but a gritty partnership by captain Mominul Haque and Najmul Hossain Shanto took Bangladesh closer to victory.
Shanto was out for 17 with the visitors needing six runs to win but Mushfiqur Rahim ensured there are no further hiccups. Bangladesh haven’t won any of their previous 43 matches in New Zealand across formats. For the information,
Bangladesh were without Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan and recently-retired Mahmudullah. Get here highlights of New Zealand vs Bangladesh here.
