Southee reflects on Bangladesh's historic win led by Shanto...CRICKET NEWS
Reflection on Bangladesh's Historic Win Led by Shanto
New Zealand captain Tim Southee credited the key role played by the opposition bowlers and their newly-appointed skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto in Bangladesh's first Test win against New Zealand. The first game of the two-match Test series witnessed Bangladesh securing their first home win against New Zealand. The contest was characterized by fluctuations, with the two sides being separated by just seven runs at the end of the first innings. However, a resilient century by Shanto and a remarkable six-wicket haul from Taijul Islam propelled the home side to a commanding victory over the visitors.
Bangladesh's Bowling Pressure and Batting Partnerships
Southee acknowledged the consistent pressure applied by the Bangladesh bowlers, emphasizing that his team failed to sustain similar pressure throughout the match. He highlighted the importance of building partnerships as a batting unit and commended the accuracy and style of the Bangladesh bowlers, particularly noting the challenging conditions for batting as the Test progressed.
Shanto's Impact and the Path Forward
Despite former Test captain Kane Williamson's crucial century in the first innings, Shanto's century on day three overshadowed the effort. Southee praised Shanto's timely and impactful innings, emphasizing the need for improvement and learning from the experience as the team looks ahead to future matches. Southee himself made an attacking contribution with a quickfire 34 runs from 24 balls in the second innings but fell victim to a delivery from Islam in the dying moments of the match.
ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 Cycle
The match marked the beginning of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle for both teams. Bangladesh's victory propelled them to the second position on the table, just below Pakistan, who have secured two wins from two games. The upcoming second Test between the two sides is scheduled to commence on 6 December in Mirpur.
This reflection by Tim Southee provides valuable insights into the dynamics of the historic Test match and sets the stage for an intriguing second encounter between Bangladesh and New Zealand.
