# Bangladesh and Australia draw historic Test series 1-1 > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/bangladesh-cricket-tour-of-australia-injuries > Updated: 2026-08-29T06:09:47.000Z. Sources: 130. Developments: 13. Bangladesh’s historic Test tour of Australia in August 2026 has concluded in a 1-1 series draw. The tour began with a landmark nine-wicket victory for Bangladesh in the first Test at Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin, marking their first-ever Test win on Australian soil. In that match, Bangladesh responded to Australia’s 198 with 426, fueled by Tanzid Hasan’s maiden century. Hasan Mahmud took nine wickets in the match, while Mehidy Hasan Miraz claimed five wickets in Australia’s second innings. This result saw Bangladesh’s World Test Championship points percentage rise to 66.67, while Australia’s fell to 77.77. The defeat prompted calls for an Australian batting overhaul, with former players suggesting that the struggles of Jake Weatherald and Marnus Labuschagne could signal the end of their Test careers. Australia responded in the second Test at Mackay by recalling Matt Renshaw to the opening slot. Bangladesh also saw the return of pacer Shoriful Islam, who had missed the first Test due to a hamstring injury. While Australia leveled the series with a victory in the second Test—highlighted by Mitchell Starc’s 10-wicket haul—the tour was deemed a success for Bangladesh. Fast bowling coach Talha Jubair credited the pace attack for the series success, noting Shoriful Islam’s 7/48 in the second match. However, he noted that batting improvements remain necessary following sub-100 scores in Mackay. The team has since returned to Dhaka following the historic draw. ## Claims - Tanzid Hasan scored 101 runs in the first innings.
