The cricketing world on Wednesday lavished praise on Bangladesh team for their historic away Test win against New Zealand at the Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The visitors secured a brilliant 8-wicket victory over New Zealand on Day 5 of the opening Test, snapping Black Caps' 17-match unbeaten streak at home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangladesh had not previously won any of their 43 matches in New Zealand across all three formats, while the result also ended the Kiwis' eight-series home win streak that stretched back to 2017.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After the win, the cricketing world including many players - past and present - lauded Bangladesh. Here are a few of them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Any talk of @BLACKCAPS taking this test match lightly is rubbish. @BCBtigers won a nice toss and played a great test. Congratulations to @BCBtigers and staff on making history. Really looking forward to the second test," said former captain Stephen Fleming in a tweet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
