Bangladesh Get WTC Points Table Boost After Thrashing Australia In Darwin
Aussies Down Under: Bangladesh achieved one of their greatest moments in international cricket when they stunned a full-strength Australian team in the latter's own backyard with a historic nine-wicket win in Darwin on Sunday.
