Bangladesh defeated New Zealand by eight wickets at Mount Manganui, claiming their first Test victory over the Black Caps and their first win on New Zealand territory in any format after 32 failed attempts. While the triumph was heralded as one of the biggest upsets in Test cricket history, it was a rare display of Bangladesh's pure grit and ability over the course of five arduous days that created poetry of success. In the middle of a dysfunctional board that has consistently failed to offer fast bowlers a platform to refine their abilities and a terrible run of form since the T20 World Cup, it was a triumph for the ages.
