Bangladesh clinch historic first Test win over New Zealand

Bangladesh beat world champions New Zealand at Mount Maunganui on Wednesday.. The tourists needed only 40 runs in their second innings for the historic win, their first ever in New Zealand and only their sixth in 61 away Tests. The match was wrapped up in one session on the final day as Ebadot Hossain took a career best six for 46 and New Zealand were rolled in their second innings for 169. Bangladesh beat New Zealand for the first time in a Test match at the 16th attempt with a stunning eight-wicket victory.

Seamer Ebadot Hossain took a career best 6-46 as the tourists dismissed the Black Caps for 169 early on day five at Mount Maunganui and Bangladesh knocked off the 40 runs for victory for the loss of two wickets. New Zealand had resumed on 147-5 with a slender lead of 17 but were quickly on the back foot when Ebadot clean bowled Ross Taylor for 40 and removed Kyle Jamieson for a duck in his first two overs. Man of the Match Ebadot, a former volleyball player who had taken only 11 wickets in his 10 previous tests, turned the match with a late spell in which he removed three batsmen at the cost of no runs soon after New Zealand had wiped out the deficit. It was also New Zealand's first loss in 16 home Tests over the past four years.
