This is the first victory of any Asian team in New Zealand since 2011.

Success in preventing New Zealand from scoring big in the first innings
Usually when Asian teams go on tour to New Zealand, they usually face heavy runs from Kiwi batsmen.
''The same thing happened in this test match.''
New Zealand batsman Devon Conway, who was playing his first Test match on Kiwi soil, batted brilliantly and played an excellent innings of 122 runs.
At one point it seemed that New Zealand would take the lead in the match by crossing 400 runs, but in such a situation, Bangladesh spinners Mehdi Hassan and Mominul Haq bowled well and took five wickets in total and Stopped New Zealand from making a big total.
However, given Bangladesh's recent batting form, New Zealand's 328 runs seemed a good total. One of the reasons for this was that even in the recent series against Pakistan, Bangladesh's top order failed miserably.
This time, however, the Bangladeshi batsmen showed patience on a slow pitch and the first four batsmen scored a total of 252 runs, including half-centuries by Mahmudul Hasan Jaye, Najamul Hussain Shinto and captain Mominul Haq.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Lytton Das and all-rounder Mehdi Hassan Miraz, playing innings of 86 and 47, respectively, ensured that Bangladesh could take a decisive lead. When the entire Bangladesh team was bowled out for 458 on the fourth day, it had a huge lead of 130 runs.
Destructive spell of Ibadat Hussain
Demand for this specialty has grown significantly as a result of recent corporate scandals in New Zealand.
That is why when the Bangladesh team came on the field for bowling in the second innings, fast bowler Ibadat Hussain showed the best bowling.
The special thing about his bowling was that he kept targeting wickets with good pace. While spinners dominated in the first innings, fast bowlers took nine wickets in the second innings.
On the fourth day, in the second session, on one occasion, catches were dropped by Bangladesh and a run out could not be made. But then fast bowler Ibadat Hussain started targeting wickets without the help of fielders and started bowling bold and LBW. He had four bowls or LBWs in his six wickets.
User Farid Khan tweeted: "Before this match, Ibadat Hussain was the worst bowler in the world to take ten or more wickets in average Test cricket. He became the hero of Bangladesh in New Zealand today. This is the beauty of Test cricket. There is no doubt that Allah is Most Merciful.
His teammate fast bowler Tuskin Ahmed also gave him a good start, and in the second innings he took three wickets to ensure that New Zealand could give only a target of 40 runs.
Memorable day in the history of Bangladesh cricket
In this regard, in the footage that came out of the dressing room of Bangladesh after the match, the players of the Bangladesh team can be seen singing the song 'Hum Hoon Gein Kambaay Ek Din' in Bengali language. Meanwhile, Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim looks very excited.
In this regard, cricket analysts are calling this victory one of the biggest upsets in the history of cricket.
Rehanul Haq, affiliated with Islamabad United, tweeted: “Bangladesh is the first Asian team to win a Test match in New Zealand since January 2011. During this period Pakistan has lost four out of five, India has lost three out of four, Sri Lanka has lost five out of six and now Bangladesh has won one out of five Tests.
"This is an achievement that Bangladesh should be proud of," he wrote.
Speaking on the occasion, journalist Jared Cumber wrote an informative thread in which he said, “Bangladesh has beaten New Zealand without two of their best players in New Zealand. This could be the biggest upset in the history of Test cricket. "Bangladesh are the first Asian team to win a Test match in New Zealand since January 2011 🤯🤯. In this period Pak have lost 4/5, India have lost 3/4, SL have lost 5/6 & now Bang have won 1/5. An achievement Bangladesh cricket should really really be proud of.

"New Zealand won their first Test series against Pakistan in 1969, but the last match of the series was in Dhaka, when Bangladesh had not yet become an independent country," he wrote. This is Bangladesh's first major success outside Asia in 50 years. His greatest achievement. "
"Winning a Test match without Tamim Iqbal, Mustafiz and Shakib is definitely a great achievement for Bangladesh," wrote user Dipti Man Yadav.In 1969, New Zealand won their first Test series vs Pakistan. But the final match was in Dhaka. Bangladesh wasn't even a nation then.

Over 50 years later Bangladesh have their first major win away from Asia in New Zealand. Their biggest win.
Mohammad Asam, a journalist from Bangladesh, wrote: "More than setting statistics, records and milestones, what was most striking was that Bangladesh dominated a Kiwi team that excelled in its conditions. Show performance.
User Ismail Faridi wrote, "Congratulations to the entire Bangladesh team and the entire Bangladeshi nation."
"Bangladesh's victory is extraordinary for a number of reasons," wrote journalist and editor Sambat Bal. On the one hand, it was achieved after a very one-sided contest. He dominated the entire Test match, he was playing this match without his two key players and he beat a team that rarely loses at home.This Bangladesh win is remarkable for many reasons. It was comprehensive, they dominated the Test all through, they were missing their two leading Test players, and of course, they beat a team that doesn’t lose too often at home. #NZvsBan

Journalist Tim Wagmore wrote: "Bangladesh's weaker team beat New Zealand, who are also World Test champions and are unbeaten at home after 17 Test matches. He won the innings by 8 out of 17. This is one of the biggest upsets in the history of Test match cricket.An understrength Bangladesh beating New Zealand - world Test champions, unbeaten in 17 Tests at home, winning 8 of those by an innings - in New Zealand will be one of the great Test match upsets
