In the first session of the last day, Taijul finished New Zealand’s innings for 181 after he had finished the first innings with 4-109 and 6-75.
Taijul Islam, a left-arm spinner, claimed his second 10-wicket haul in test cricket on Saturday as Bangladesh defeated New Zealand by 150 runs in the first-round series opener.
In the first session of the last day, Taijul wrapped up New Zealand’s innings for 181 runs after scoring 4-109 and scoring 6-75 in the second innings. The tourists were chasing a goal of 332 runs.
He was supported by offspinner Nayeem Hasan, who finished with 2-40, and pacers Shoriful Islam (1-13) and Mehidy Hasan (1-44), each of whom claimed a wicket.
Daryl Mitchell struggled to lead the visitors with a patient fifty-eight off one hundred and sixty balls.
After the game, with New Zealand behind 113-7, Mitchell’s contribution offered them a remote chance of winning. He hit Taijul for a boundary with the opening delivery of the day and then hit him for a single over the cover to reach his eighth half-century off 99 balls.
Mitchell, in contrast to many of his countrymen, appeared assured against the host’s spinners. However, a badly timed sweep shot against offspinner Nayeem Hasan ultimately resulted in Mitchell’s dismissal, thereby ending New Zealand’s hopes of rescuing the match.
Tim Southee, the captain, amassed an aggressive 34 from 24 balls, including one four and two sixes, before Taijul got rid of him to finish with a 12-for.
After that, Taijul won the match after Ish Sodhi, who put in a lot of effort to make 22 off 91, gave Zakir Hasan an easy catch at silly mid-off.
With opener Mahmudul Hasan scoring 86 and Bangladesh being bowled out for 310 in their opening innings, New Zealand amassed 317, thanks to a masterful 104 from Kane Williamson, to take a seven-run lead.
As the hosts amassed 338 in the second innings and set a difficult 332-run mark for the Black Caps on a surface that was rapidly losing its quality, Najmul Hossain Shanto became the first player from Bangladesh to score a century on his debut as captain.
Later on day four and the final morning, Taijul skillfully navigated the tourists’ batting lineup, leading Bangladesh to its first-ever home triumph against New Zealand and only its second-ever victory overall.
On December 6 at Mirpur, the second and last test of the series will get underway.
