New Zealand is the only country which has defeated a team scoring more than 590 runs in the first innings.
New Delhi. When the Indian team recently went on Australia tour, it was able to cross the 400-run mark only once. When he did this in the Perth Test, he also won the match. Generally, if a team scores 500 runs in Test matches, it is considered that it is now out of danger of losing. But do you know that a few years ago, a team that went on tour to New Zealand lost even after scoring 595 runs in the first innings. This is a world record for losing a match by scoring the most runs in the first innings.
It is the year 2017. The Test match was played between New Zealand and Bangladesh in Wellington from 12 to 16 January. Bangladesh batted first. He declared the innings after scoring 595 runs for 8 wickets. Despite such a big score, Bangladesh had to face defeat in this match. Due to his defeat, a record of 123 years was also broken. This was the first time in 123 years when a team lost even after scoring 590 runs. Earlier this unwanted record was in the name of Australia, which had lost against England in 1894 even after scoring 586 runs in the first innings.
Talking about the New Zealand and Bangladesh match, the biggest innings in this match was played by Shakib Al Hasan (217). Captain Mushfiqur Rahim (159) supported him well. Both of them had made a record partnership of 359 runs for the fifth wicket. However, the hard work of Shakib and Rahim went in vain when New Zealand scored 539 runs in their first innings. Tom Latham scored 177 runs on his behalf.
Bangladesh got a lead of 56 runs in the first innings. The visiting team could not take advantage of this lead and collapsed for just 160 runs in its second innings. In this way, New Zealand got the target of 217 runs to win, which it achieved by losing only 3 wickets. This time New Zealand captain Kane Williamson (104) played a century.
