The Story in Brief
Bangladesh fast bowler Hasan Mahmud took 6 for 55 to bowl Australia out for 198 on the first day of the first Test in Darwin on August 13. This is Bangladesh's first Test in Australia in 23 years. Mahmud dismissed Jake Weatherald, Travis Head, Steve Smith for 71, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon. Bangladesh pacers took all 10 wickets, only the second time in Tests after Rawalpindi in 2024. Mahmud, Taskeen Ahmed and Ibadat Hussain shared the wickets.
The Indian Opinion
The buzz around Hasan Mahmud's spell is deserved, but the habit of treating a single good day as a transformation is tired. Bangladesh's pace attack has taken all 10 wickets in a Test innings only twice in history. One win in Australia after 23 years would be a genuine breakthrough, not a narrative. The real test comes in the second innings, when Australia's batters have seen the conditions. Can Mahmud repeat the dose against a team that adapts fast?
