Bangladesh registered a massive 546-run victory against Afghanistan in the one-off Test match between the two teams early Saturday.
Litton Das’ men have, with their win, set a new record for the biggest Test win by runs in the 21st century.
The overall record for the biggest Test win by runs belongs to England. In 1928, England beat Australia by 675 runs in a Test match hosted by Brisbane. Six years later, Australia beat England by 562 runs at The Oval, which is the second biggest winning margin.
Bangladesh broke South Africa’s record for the biggest Test win by runs in the 21st century. South Africa recorded a 492-run win against Australia in Johannesburg in 2018, Sportskeeda reported.
Saturday’s win is also the biggest win for any Asian team by runs in Test cricket. Sri Lanka held this record previously for their 465-run win against Bangladesh in January 2009.
