Bangladesh win by record 546 runs

Bangladesh secured a massive victory in the one-off Test against Afghanistan on Saturday at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.

The hosts won by 546 runs. This is Bangladesh's biggest win by runs in test matches.

Bangladesh put up 382 in its first innings before dismissing Afghanistan for 146. Instead of enforcing the follow-on, Bangladesh chose to bat for the second time in the match, potentially to avoid batting in the fourth innings.

Bangladesh closed in on victory on day, two, as batters dominated the pitch.

Tigers declared the second innings at 425-4, setting up an improbable 662-run target for Afghans to win the Test. The visitors folded in 115 runs on Friday.

Not only is this Bangladesh's biggest win, but it is also the third-biggest win by runs in the history of test cricket.
