Bangladesh is currently placed 9th in the ICC Test rankings. Beating the 4th-ranked Aussies is a testament to the hard work they've been putting in over the years. They have managed to beat England and give tough competition to New Zealand in their own backyard.

Now, this historic win against Australia once again states that they've transformed into a force to be reckoned with.

Even though this win came under familiar conditions, beating Australia isn't any simple achievement. Remember that the same Aussie side beat the Indian team in Pune earlier this year.

Bangladesh's real test will lie when they travel overseas. Playing in seaming conditions and pace friendly pitches will really put their skills to test. But right now, they are no longer minnows and are up and running with the big boys!
