It's more important how many sessions you win in a test match, and the Tigers won at least 10 of the 13 that were played. When it came to placing a price tag on your wicket and bowling as a unit, they did so with confidence and authority. With his six-wicket haul in New Zealand's second innings, pace bowler Ebadot Hossain was clearly the outstanding performance, dismissing the hosts for 169 and setting Bangladesh a 40-run goal for a famous triumph. However, there were 12 heroes in the Tigers' historic victory, including 12th man Taijul Islam, who made a sensational catch at mid-wicket on the fifth morning to finish New Zealand's second essay.
