Tanzid Hasan leads Bangladesh’s strong fightback against AustraliaFor Bangladesh, the visiting batters have shown tremendous resilience against the mighty Australians. As they have lost just three wickets in the second innings, they have had two massive partnerships in the middle. Tanzid Hasan and Monimul Haque laid the foundation with a 102-run stand for the second wicket, with the latter missing out on his well-deserved half-century by one run. However, Tanzid added another marvellous stand, a 93-run partnership with Najmul Hossain Shanto. Thanks to these impressive efforts, Bangladesh have already taken a lead while still having seven wickets in hand. If the remaining batters can maintain the momentum, the visitors could put Australia under serious pressure.Can Australia make a comeback in Darwin Test?Although Australia are trailing by 49 runs after 70 overs in the Bangladesh’s first innings on Friday, they are still not out in this Test match. After the first day, the Darwin pitch has eased for batters, as seen in the Bangladesh innings. Thus, if the home team can get the visitors all out inside the next 150-175 runs, they would be in a position to score big in their next innings. Moreover, batting will anyway get tougher in the final innings.Also Read: Kusal Mendis’ Coach Dies After Fight With Fellow Cricketer
