Bangladesh is a country that competes in international Test cricket, which is the longest format of cricket. It is played over five days and is considered the ultimate test of a team’s and player’s ability. Bangladesh first played Test cricket in 2000 and has since played against many top teams including Australia, England, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and the West Indies.
The Bangladesh national cricket team has made significant progress in recent years and has produced some talented cricketers. Some of their notable players include Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, and Mustafizur Rahman. Despite some impressive performances, Bangladesh is yet to win a Test series against one of the top teams. However, they have won several Test matches and drawn many others, showing their competitiveness in this format of the game.

It’s worth noting that these victories were significant milestones for Bangladesh in Test cricket and helped establish their competitiveness in the format.

Bangladesh won by 226 runs while playing in a two test series against Zimbabwe in 2005. It was also the first ever victory for the Bengal tigers in the longest format of cricket.
Bangladesh scored 381 runs for Zimbabwe to chase. Victory was out of reach for Tatenda Taibu’s team, who was only aiming to save the game. Bangladesh’s disciplined bowling, particularly that of Enamul Haque, made the task much more tough for the visitors.

The visitors made a comeback in the game every time they looked down with the bat in the first innings – they were 132 for 6 before reaching 468 – and even produced an 8 for 51 Zimbabwe collapse with the ball.

It seems difficult from the outset, and it was. Zimbabwe lost a couple of wickets by evening, but Taylor and their hope survived.
