How are you all? Today I am sharing some good cricket news with you. I hope you will like the news. Those who like sports must know that Test cricket has started in Bangladesh between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe and today's first Test is a continuation of that.

The first day of the Test in Sylhet did not go as Bangladesh wanted. Playing at home, with their conditions, the Tigers still failed with the bat. Despite getting a good start, the team could not maintain it. Bangladesh was stopped for only 191 runs in the first innings after losing one wicket after another.

The batter who came on the field was starting well after surviving for a while. But at that moment he played the wrong shot and returned to the dressing room. The batting with which captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto himself was talking about improving before the start of the day, he was the one who got out on an unnecessary shot. He was caught at a point while playing a short ball outside the off-stump - the run was 40.

Mushfiqur came to the wicket after Shanto. But no promising innings came from his bat. He failed to hit a boundary with a simple short ball. Instead, he gave away the wicket at midwicket - the run was only 4. Such an outing by this experienced batsman has disappointed many.

Although Mominul Haque got some luck in the beginning - once he was caught, and again he got a boundary after several edges - he could not make use of his luck. He was stopped on 56 runs. His innings was an attempt to survive, but could not turn into a big run.

The Bangladesh team's batting problem is like a new copy of an old story. One moment it seems that they are playing well, the next moment everything is reversed. When one person goes, the next one seems to lose his way. The team is under pressure after losing wickets one after another.

On the other hand, Zimbabwe showed patience and planning in batting. Openers Brian Bennett and Ben Curran finished the first day without losing any wickets. Both played carefully, taking shots based on their opportunities. At the end of the first day, they scored 67 runs, still trailing Bangladesh by 124 runs, but not losing a wicket was a big relief for them.

Neither Bangladesh's pacers nor spinners had much success in the rest of the first day. Even the weather in Sylhet, which often affects the game, was in Zimbabwe's favor today. The visitors had no difficulty batting in the sunshine and light breeze on the field.

In this situation, the challenge for Bangladesh increased even more on the second day. Now they need to take some wickets quickly, otherwise Zimbabwe will go a long way in this match.

Today is a warning for the Bangladesh team. If you make the same mistakes over and over again, the result will be the same. So now it's time to find out your mistakes and turn around the next day.
