In fact, it will go down in cricket history as one of the most monumental events.In the 2025-27 World Test Championship (WTC) cycle, Australia, led by none other than Pat Cummins, had only one defeat (to England in the Ashes) and seven victories in eight matches before the start of Bangladesh's tour of Australia.Bangladesh then produced the biggest upset of all, securing a nine-wicket victory at Darwin’s Marrara Cricket Ground, with Hasan Mahmud setting the platform for the outcome and eventually winning the Player of the Match award.Bangladesh Keep WTC Dream AliveBangladesh have played five Tests in the ongoing WTC table, and of them, they have now three matches. The PCT is very impressive (66.67), and to highlight this further, they are in a better position there than Asia’s biggest superpower, India.For those who are unaware, this is the fourth edition of WTC, which began in 2019.
