Bangladesh bowled Australia out for 198 on Day 1 of the first Test in Darwin, led by Hasan Mahmud's career-best 6 for 55. Taskin Ahmed and Ebadot Hossain took two wickets each as the home side collapsed. Commentator Harsha Bhogle praised Mahmud's performance and Bangladesh's fast-bowling depth on X.
Bangladesh then reached 96 for 1 at stumps, with only Shadman Islam dismissed for 20 by Mitchell Starc. The visitors have never won a Test in Australia, but this strong start gives them a real chance to pull off an upset if they continue to apply pressure.
The chatter about Bangladesh finally winning a Test in Australia is premature. A champion side like Australia will fight back on home soil, and the Tigers’ batting depth remains untested. The real test starts when Australia bat again. If Bangladesh can stretch their lead past 150, the script may hold. Otherwise, one loose session could flip the match.
