Bangladesh created history after beating New Zealand in the first Test of the two-match series at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, which is their maiden win over the World Test Champions in 21 years. This was also Bangladesh’s first win in New Zealand in any format and Mushfiqur Rahim led the celebrations in the dressing room, telling others to enjoy this moment.

Bangladesh beat New Zealand by 8 wickets, which was the No. 8 ranked Test side’s first-ever victory not just Tests, in New Zealand in 32 games across all formats. Pacer Ebadot Hossain set up the famous win for the tourists as they wrapped up the Test match in the first session of Day 5. New Zealand was just 17 runs ahead and had already lost five wickets coming into the final day.

For Bangladesh, their first innings total of 458 proved to be immensely valuable which came courtesy of half-centuries from Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Najmul Hasan Shanto, captain Mominul Haque, and keeper Liton Das. Shoriful Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz picked three wickets each in Kiwi’s first innings, where they had made 328 runs.
