In a test match, it matters more how many sessions you win, and the Tigers won at least 10 of the 13 that were played. They were confident and authoritative when it came to putting a price on your wicket and bowling as a team. Pace bowler Ebadot Hossain was obviously the standout performer in New Zealand's second innings, knocking the hosts for 169 and setting Bangladesh a 40-run target for a famous victory. However, there were 12 heroes in the Tigers' historic victory, including 12th man Taijul Islam, who finished New Zealand's second essay with a spectacular catch at mid-wicket on the fifth morning.
