Bangladesh secured a remarkable victory against one of the top Test cricket teams, the reigning champions of the inaugural Test Championship. Despite being at the bottom in the last two seasons, Bangladesh triumphed by 150 runs against New Zealand in the Sylhet Test. Kiwi captain Tim Southee, expressing regret over the defeat, highlighted the enchanting beauty of Sylhet, acknowledging the tour's memorability irrespective of the results.
New Zealand is seeking a turnaround after their initial setback in the Sylhet Test against Bangladesh, where the former Test Championship titleholders faced a 150-run loss. The Kiwi batsmen struggled against Taijul's impressive performance, marking a challenging start to their campaign. New Zealand had clinched the Test Championship title in the previous edition by defeating India, demonstrating their prowess in the format. However, this time around, their journey commenced with a defeat, and they are determined to reverse their fortunes in the upcoming second Test starting on Wednesday.
