Bangladesh dismiss Australia for lowest total as Hasan Mahmud claims 6‑55

Australia were bowled out for their lowest total ever recorded against Bangladesh on the opening day of the first Test of the series, marking a dramatic start to the contest. The Australian innings collapsed under disciplined bowling, with the team unable to reach the 100‑run mark before the final wicket fell. The dismissal set a new low in the bilateral Test history between the two sides and placed the visitors under immediate pressure to recover in the remaining days of the match.

Bangladesh’s pace spearhead Hasan Mahmud seized the moment, finishing the day with career‑best figures, claiming five wickets for 44 runs. His spell dismantled the Australian top order, exploiting the seam-friendly conditions and delivering a decisive breakthrough that shifted momentum in Bangladesh’s favour. The early advantage gives the hosts a strong platform to build on, while Australia will need to regroup quickly if they are to stay competitive in the series.
