Shakib joins Hadlee in rare club

Centuries in the fourth innings of a Test for Australia in Asia
Bangladesh v Australia, 1st Test, 4th day, Mirpur August 30, 2017

10 - Wins for Bangladesh in 101 Tests. Australia is the fifth opposition they have beaten. Zimbabwe (five times), West Indies (twice), England and Sri Lanka are the other sides they have won against. This is the second consecutive win at home for Bangladesh and the second instance of them winning two home Tests in a row.

14 - Out of the 25 instances in 553 Tests where teams have lost by less than 20 runs, Australia have featured in 14 of them.

0.142 - Australia's win-loss ratio over 19 Tests in Asia this decade, the second-worst among all teams. Zimbabwe have lost all four Tests played in Asia. Australia's two wins came against Sri Lanka (Galle, 2011) and India (Pune, 2017).

2- Number of cricketers to score a half-century and take ten wickets in a match more than once. By achieving this feat in Mirpur, Shakib Al Hasan joined a rare club with Richard Hadlee. The New Zealand great did this thrice, one more than Shakib, who also became the sixth cricketer to achieve this double against Australia.

5- Cricketers to have taken a ten-wicket haul in their 50th Test. Trevor Bailey, Richard Hadlee, Muttiah Muralitharan and Harbhajan Singh achieved this feat before Shakib did it in Mirpur. This is Shakib's second instance of taking ten or more wickets in a Test. Previously, he took 10 for 124 against Zimbabwe at Khulna in 2014. Shakib also got his third Man of the Match award, the most for Bangladesh in Test wins.

2014 - Last time David Warner made an away hundred. He's gone 34 innings without a century outside Australia. Only two of his 19 Test tons have come in Asia.

4 - Centuries scored by Australians in the fourth-innings of a Test in Asia. Warner joined Ricky Ponting, Bob Simpson and Mark Taylor to this feat. This is Warner's second fourth-innings century, one less than Don Bradman. Ponting's four second-innings centuries is the highest. Incidentally, both of Warner's centuries have come in a losing cause.

130 - Runs added by Steven Smith and David Warner for the third wicket. This is the highest stand in the fourth innings for Australia in Asia. The previous best was the 107 Smith and Mitchell Marsh added against Pakistan at Abu Dhabi in 2014.
