Facing a formidable New Zealand team in the Test series, Bangladesh, weakened by the absence of key players like Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Liton Das, Taskin Ahmed, and Ebadat, took the field under the leadership of their new captain, Shant. The hero of the Kiwis' downfall was left-arm spinner Taijul Islam, as Bangladesh secured a memorable victory, defeating New Zealand by 150 runs with his exceptional bowling performance.
