**When Test cricket began, only Test cricket matches were played. That is why Test cricket matches are always important. Bangladesh became the tenth country to play cricket test playing in 2000. The opponent played the first Test match with neighboring India.**
Cricket is very popular in Bangladesh with a population of billions. Therefore, there is no end to the curiosity and passion of the people of Bangladesh regarding the first cricket test match in the history of Bangladesh. The people of Bangladesh were a little more excited about this Test match.

At that time, the captain of the Indian cricket team was Sourav Ganguly, one of the best players in India. On the other hand, Naimur Rahman Durjoy is the captain of Bangladesh. There were very few expectations and aspirations surrounding this match in Bangladesh as India has a lot of experience. India came to Bangladesh in November 2000 to play only one Test match. The match was played at Bangabandhu National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh
Bangladesh captain Naimur Rahman Durjoy decided to bat first. Bangladesh is the first match so all the players are new to the test format and they have no experience. Shiv Sundar Das and Zaheer Khan made their Test debut in India.

There were several big star players in India at that time. Among them were master blaster Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and Srinath. Trinath was one of the greatest fast bowlers in the history of Indian cricket.Steve Bucknor and David Shepherd were the umpires in that match for the first time in the history of Test cricket in Bangladesh.

# 2nd innings
Like in the first innings, in the second innings too, he hoped that Bangladesh would give a good gift. Since India had a lead of only 29 runs. It was very easy for Bangladesh to cross the 29-run lead. Crossing the lead, Bangladesh will give a good target to India to bat in the second innings with that target.
***
Mehrab Hossain and Shahriar Hossain came to bat as usual in the opening match. Mehrab Hossain returned to the pavilion with just 2 runs. Shahriar Hossain and two figures could not complete the run he was out for only 7 runs by Sunil Yashi. Habibul Bashar Sumon, a successful batsman of the first innings of Bangladesh team came to bat at number three.
***
Habibul Bashar continued to bat fairly comfortably. However, he could not make his innings too big. He was dismissed for 30 while the team scored 53 runs. He hit four fours in the entire innings. Aminul Islam Bulbul, a successful batsman in the first innings, came to bat at number four. He did not show any surprises in the second innings like in the first innings. He was out for just 6 runs.

Akram Khan, one of the batsmen of Bangladesh, failed in the second innings as well as in the first innings. He was out for just two runs though he should have taken the team to a better position. Bangladesh captain Naimur Rahman Durjoy did not do well in batting even though he took 6 wickets in the first innings against India.
Naimur Rahman Durjoy made just 3 runs off 32 balls. Mohammad Rafique, one of the best spinners and hardware batsman in Bangladesh, scored just 4 runs. Last-line batsmen Rajan Das and Hasibul Hossain were both dismissed for zero runs. However, wicketkeeper Khaled Masood played for the team in the middle order till last. He was unbeaten on 21 off 68 balls. Which was the second highest run of the Bangladesh team in the second innings. The total score of Bangladesh team is 91.
The Indian bowlers had a great performance in the second innings. Sunil Yashi and Srinath took three wickets each. The target for India was only 63 runs. It is very easy for an experienced India to achieve this goal. Shiv Sundar Das and Yoshi came to bat in the second innings. Hasibul Hossain was out for just 1 run off 11 balls. Rahul Dravid came to bat in one down. India easily achieved their target with the batting prowess of Shiv Sundar Das and Rahul Dravid. Shiv Sundar Das was unbeaten on 22 and Rahul Dravid on 41.

# Results
***India won by 9 wickets. Since this was Bangladesh's first match, Bangladesh was expected to do better in the second innings despite doing well in the first innings. Then the picture of the whole match could be a little different. All in all, Bangladesh's first Test will be historic and will always be an inspiration for Bangladesh.***
