All done. New Zealand dismantled by Taijul Islam (6 wickets for 75 runs). Only Daryl Mitchell could put up any sort of resistance in the 4th innings, although Ish Sodhi and Tim Southee added a few runs towards the end. Next match will start on 6th December and will be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur (another ground that offers a lot of support for the spinners). New Zealand need to make necessary changes in team selection. Sodhi and Ajaz Patel are not doing their job and I will be surprised if they are included in the playing XI again.

Bangladesh won first match of test series by huge margin of 150 runs against New Zealand. From New Zealand Daryl Mitchell batting well scored fifty 58 runs in 120 balls but failed to beacuse no other batters will support him. The player of the match is Taijul Islam for amazing bowling performance picked 4 wickets in first inning of match and also picked 6 important wickets and all out new Zealand team in just 181 runs. New Zealand spinners useless in second innings when the performance matter most but Bangladesh doing well a great come back and win the match. I think In second test match new Zealand come back stronger and level the series by winning it.

op I agree with you. Because we saw the batting disaster of 2023 World Cup Bangladesh. We thought that maybe Bangladesh team can never go ahead without Shakib Tamim. However, Bangladesh's two key batsmen are missing from the current squad due to injuries. Under the leadership of the new captain Nazmul Hasan Shantar, the way Bangladesh batted is truly remarkable. Players will retire over time. So we have to trust the youth. Youngsters know that playing well can take the cricket team forward. Bangladesh team won by 150 runs against New Zealand in the first test with excellent performance of Bangladesh team at Zahoor Ahmed Stadium in Chittagong. The second test will be held in Dhaka Mirpur, of course we want Bangladesh team to bat and bowl well in the second test. Bangladesh team won the second test match against New Zealand Then this will be the first test series win for Bangladesh against New Zealand.
