DARWIN — Fast bowler Hasan Mahmud claimed a career-best 6-55 as Bangladesh bowled out Australia for 198 before reaching 96-1 at stumps on Day One of the first Test match on Thursday. Australia’s total marked their lowest-ever Test score against Bangladesh, eclipsing their previous low of 217 set in Mirpur in 2017. In reply, the visitors ended the day trailing by 102 runs, with Mominul Haque unbeaten on 35 alongside Tanzid Hasan on 32.

Market Impact

Details on the specific impact of the match results on the Malaysian sports broadcasting market or commercial partnerships are not yet available.

After Australian captain Pat Cummins elected to bat, the home side folded against Bangladesh's disciplined seam attack. Hasan made early breakthroughs by removing Jake Weatherald for 23 and Travis Head for 22, while Ebadot Hossain dismissed Marnus Labuschagne for one. Steve Smith provided the sole major resistance with 71 runs, despite surviving an early dropped catch on two by Tanzid.

Fellow quicks Taskin Ahmed and Ebadot took two wickets apiece, removing Cameron Green, Alex Carey (19), and Beau Webster. Hasan subsequently dismissed Cummins and Mitchell Starc before Smith and last man Nathan Lyon fell. Bangladesh lost opener Shadman Islam for 20 to Starc before Mominul and Tanzid built an unbeaten partnership.

Looking ahead to Day Two, Bangladesh are well-positioned to take a first-innings lead after defying pre-match expectations following a warm-up defeat to a Cricket Australia XI. Smith attributed Australia's batting struggles to a lack of recent Test play, while Hasan noted the bowling attack focused on executing consistent lines and lengths under captain Najmul Hossain Shanto. Bangladesh will resume play on Friday seeking to surpass Australia's total and build a decisive advantage.
