To everyone's surprise, Bangladesh won the Test against New Zealand at the New Zealand ground. It was a completely unexpected result.
We have seen Bangladesh's weak Test team in the past. But this match was completely different. Their batting was very nice. Every player on the team has helped raise the team's scoreboard. At the same time, New Zealand lost all their wickets for just 169 runs in the second innings. I thought yesterday the match would be a draw. But Bangladesh played very well and won the match by 8 wickets.
Those who have watched Pakistan vs Bangladesh Test series will never imagine that Bangladesh will win this match. But to everyone's surprise, Bangladesh has dominated the whole 5 days and won. My guess is that the New Zealand players thought the Bangladesh team was weak, they might have thought they would win the match without any competition. This was their first mistake. Moreover, Bangladesh's top order has played well. For a long time we did not see any good partnership from the top order of Bangladesh.
Even if I speak about myself, I hardly thought that BD will be able to score more than 100 runs in an innings but the players have shown resilience and determination.
Maybe the Kiwi players underestimated the BD players and thought that they will be an easy opponent but credit where credit's due, the BD players played flawlessly. Even when they needed about 40 runs in the last innings, they didn't rush to get the win, they were very calm and composed and got those runs in 16 or so overs. Well played from BD.
