Bangladesh created history when they beat Australia by 20 runs in the first of the two-Test series at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka on Wednesday. Shakib Al Hasan’s 10-wicket haul, along with Tamim Iqbal’s 71 and 78, some incisive spin bowling from Taijul Islam and inspired captaincy from Mushfiqur Rahim were enough to send Australia to back foot. Following the win, the Bangladesh players took it to their dressing-room where they celebrated their first ever Test win over Australia in a unique fashion as the players banged a workout chair with their bats as they sang Amra korbo joy (We shall overcome).
