Pat ******* mins' captaincy record took an unwanted turn after Australia suffered a nine-wicket defeat to Bangladesh in the first Test at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin on Sunday.
The match ended inside four days, with Australia conceding a 228-run first-innings lead before setting Bangladesh only 57 runs to win in the fourth innings. The visitors reached the target in 14.2 overs, losing just one wicket.
The defeat was Australia's first-ever home Test loss against Bangladesh and also added ******* mins to an unwanted list.
Cummins, who has been Australia's Test captain since the 2021-22 Ashes, became only the second Australian captain after Greg Chappell to lose home Tests against two different Asian teams.
Chappell lost two home Tests against Pakistan — in Sydney in January 1977 and Melbourne in December 1981 — and another against India in Melbourne in February 1981.
Cummins has now lost one home Test against India, in Perth in November 2024, and one against Bangladesh in Darwin in August 2026.
Bangladesh needed only three Tests to record their first Test win in Australia. They are now the fastest Asian team and the second-fastest team overall to win a Test on Australian soil.
Fast bowler Hasan Mahmud played a key role in the victory, taking nine wickets across the match to claim the Player of the Match award. He picked up six wickets in Australia's first innings and three in the second.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz also contributed with both bat and ball. He scored a half-century in the first innings before taking five wickets in the second.
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 84 in the first innings, while opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim made 101 off 197 ******* .
For Australia, Josh Hazlewood took six wickets in the first innings, while Cameron Green scored 104 in the second innings. However, the rest of the Australian side could not make enough of an impact as Bangladesh completed their first Test victory in Australia.

Cameron Green's fighting century may have come in a losing cause, but it gave Australia something positive to take away from their heavy Test defeat to Bangladesh in Darwin on Sunday.
The all-rounder scored 104 from 201 **** as Australia recovered from a difficult position to take a 56-run lead.
However, Bangladesh needed just 57 runs in the final innings and chased it down comfortably to complete the win.
Former Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist said Green's innings could provide a model for him to follow in the future, especially given the expectations surrounding the 26-year-old.
"He is a big man who shoulders a lot of responsibility. He has had a lot of expectations on him," Gilchrist said as quoted by Fox Cricket.
"There is a blueprint there for Cameron Green to follow and look to execute now. It is one of the positive stories out of what has been a really tough match for the Australians," he added.
Former Australia cricketer Kerry O'Keeffe also backed Green to become a key part of the batting order, praising how he built his innings.
"Cameron Green has been brilliant. He had the rhythm of a number five (and) the way he's constructed this innings is a good thing going forward," he said.
"If he gets his mental side right, he has the capacity to bat five and score big, but then, when Steve Smith moves on, to bat at four and be a real player for Australia. The inner sanctum have always believed he fits and you can sense a long career ahead of him now," he added.
Australia were bowled out for 198 in the first innings, despite Steve Smith's 71. Bangladesh responded with 426, led by Tanzid Hasan's 101, while Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz scored 84 and 65 respectively.
Australia then slipped to 73/3 before Green, Smith and Alex Carey helped them recover and take a 56-run lead. Bangladesh's Miraz and Mahmud took five and three wickets respectively before Bangladesh chased down the target without trouble.

Bangladesh produced a historic performance in Darwin, defeating Australia by nine wickets in the first Test to secure their first-ever Test victory on Australian soil. The defeat brought Australia's long run of consistency under scrutiny, but Steve Smith was quick to acknowledge Bangladesh's superior performance while insisting that one poor Test does not change Australia's status as the world's top-ranked Test side.
"Pretty simple: we were outplayed. I thought Bangladesh bowled really well the first morning, really disciplined. Our batters probably weren't disciplined enough," Smith said after the defeat, as quoted by The Daily Star.
Australia struggled with the bat across both innings. After being bowled out for 198 in their first innings, they were forced to concede a massive 228-run lead after Bangladesh piled up 426. Smith, who scored 71 in the first innings, admitted that Australia failed to capitalise when their batters got starts.
"They got too many in front, and we weren't able to catch it up yesterday on what was a pretty decent wicket to bat on. A couple of us got starts and didn't go on with it. Greeny, I thought, played really nicely to get a hundred, but he didn't have any partners to go with him," he said.
Cameron Green provided Australia with some resistance in the second innings, scoring a fighting 104, but the hosts were eventually dismissed for 284. Bangladesh were left with only 57 runs to chase for victory.
Despite the heavy defeat, Smith backed Australia to bounce back and urged the team not to overreact to what he described as a poor week.
"I hope it's one bad week. We're the number one team for a reason. We've played really good, consistent cricket over a long period of time, and this week was a bit of a blip," Smith said.
The experienced batter also gave full credit to Bangladesh for their performance throughout the four-day contest.
"We could have done things a lot better, but credit goes to them for the way they played throughout these last four days," he added.
Australia were bowled out for 198 after Hasan Mahmud's stunning 6/55, before Bangladesh piled on 426, led by centuries from Tanzid Hasan and strong knocks from Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Josh Hazlewood took six wickets and reached 300 Test wickets.
Cameron Green's 104 helped Australia fight back in the second innings, but Mehidy Hasan Miraz's 5/66 and Hasan Mahmud's three wickets restricted them to 284.

Bangladesh produced one of the biggest results of their Test history by defeating Australia by nine wickets in Darwin, and the stunning victory has brought significant changes to the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 standings. Despite suffering their second defeat of the cycle, Australia have retained the top spot in the WTC table. However, their points percentage (PCT) has fallen from 87.50% to 77.78%, bringing them much closer to the chasing pack.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, have strengthened their position in fourth place. Their PCT has risen from 58.33% to 66.67% following the historic triumph, putting them firmly in contention in the race for the WTC Final.
Australia currently have 84 points from nine Tests, with seven wins and two defeats. Their 77.78% PCT keeps them ahead of South Africa, who are second with 75% after four Tests. New Zealand occupy third place with 72.22% from six matches, while Bangladesh are fourth with 40 points from five Tests. The Tigers have won three matches, lost one and drawn one in the ongoing cycle.
Bangladesh's victory in Darwin was particularly significant as it marked their first-ever Test win on Australian soil.
The result was set up by an impressive all-round performance from the visitors. Tanzid Hasan's century gave Bangladesh a strong platform with the bat, while Hasan Mahmud and Mehidy Hasan Miraz played crucial roles with the ball to dismantle the Australian batting line-up. Bangladesh then chased down a modest target of 57 with nine wickets in hand.
India are currently fifth in the WTC standings with 52 points from nine Tests. Their record stands at four wins, four defeats and one draw, giving them a PCT of 48.15%. India's position remains precarious, with Sri Lanka close behind in sixth place on 41.67%. Sri Lanka have played four Tests, winning one, losing one and drawing two.

Australia captain Pat ***** mins admitted his side were outplayed in all departments after Bangladesh completed a historic nine-wicket victory in the first Test at Darwin's Marrara Oval on Sunday.
The defeat gave Bangladesh their first Test win on Australian soil and only their second victory over Australia, following their maiden triumph in Dhaka in 2017.
Cummins pointed to Australia's first-innings performance as the key turning point, conceding that his side needed to find a way to bat for longer after Bangladesh's bowlers made early inroads.
"Probably that day one. You know, I thought our preparation was pretty much spot on. I thought it was excellent. So, no excuses. They played really well. I thought the day one wicket was doing a little bit early, but obviously got to try and find a way to bat a little bit longer than we did, and then, just couldn't penetrate with the ball," ***** mins said after the match.
Australia were dismissed for 198 in their first innings after ***** mins won the toss and elected to bat. Bangladesh responded with 426, taking a commanding 228-run lead that ultimately proved decisive.
The hosts showed more resistance in their second innings, reaching 284, with Cameron Green scoring a century. However, Mehidy Hasan Miraz's five-wicket haul helped Bangladesh restrict Australia's lead to just 56 runs before the visitors chased down the target in 14.2 overs.
Cummins acknowledged that Bangladesh maintained control once they had established their advantage.
"Yeah, they did. I think they outplayed us in all facets, really. I thought they were really patient and quite disciplined. And, yeah, once we were behind, it was really hard to get back," he said.
The Australian captain also admitted that the team's batting performances could come under scrutiny before the second Test in Mackay, Queensland, beginning on August 22.
"I think every time there's a game like this, you always kind of look at your match-ups and your make-up of the team for the next one. But, we only just finished, so we'll have a think about it. We're pretty good at bouncing back, so no doubt the batters and every group will get together and have a good think about this one and where we can improve," ***** mins said.
While Australia's batting came under pressure, ***** mins praised Josh Hazlewood for reaching the milestone of 300 Test wickets. Hazlewood finished with six wickets across Bangladesh's two innings.
"Josh, he hasn't had a great run for injuries the last couple of years, but he's one of the hardest workers and just showed his class. And, you know, didn't have too much in it, seam-wise, still picking up six really important wickets. So he was fantastic," ***** mins said.
He also singled out Green, whose 104 was his third Test century and first in Australia. The allrounder spent 201 ***** at the crease and combined with Australia's lower order to prevent Bangladesh from winning by an innings.

DARWIN, Australia (AP) — Mehidy Hasan Miraz spun Bangladesh to the verge of a famous victory as he claimed three wickets to have Australia at 243-7 at lunch on Day 4 of the first cricket test.
Resuming Sunday at 161-4, Australia added 82 runs for the session to avoid the ignominy of a home innings defeat to take a 15-run lead at the interval.
Only Cameron Green provided concerted resistance to the Bangladesh attack as he notched his eighth test half century, and highest score in Australia, on his way to 85 not out.
Mitchell Starc was 14 not out at the break, sharing a 36-run partnership with Green in what is likely Australia's last hope of turning the tide of the match.
But the result appears only delayed after another session where Bangladesh again comprehensively outplayed its more-fancied hosts.

Bangladesh moved within touching distance of one of the biggest Test victories in their history after reducing Australia to 161/4 at stumps on Day 3 of the first Test at Marrara Stadium on Saturday. The hosts remain 67 runs behind Bangladesh's first-innings total of 426, leaving the visitors needing just six more wickets to secure a historic Test victory on Australian soil.
Cameron Green remained unbeaten on 43, while Alex Carey was not out on 19 as Australia battled to survive the final session. However, the hosts still face the daunting task of first erasing the deficit before setting Bangladesh a target in the fourth innings.
Hasan Mahmud once again proved to be Australia's biggest problem, taking two wickets in the second innings after claiming 6/55 in the first innings. The fast bowler dismissed both openers cheaply, with Jake Weatherald falling for a duck and Travis Head departing for 17. Both batters chopped the ball onto their stumps while attempting cut shots.
Mahmud's two wickets took his match tally to eight, putting Bangladesh firmly in control.
Bangladesh resumed Day 3 on 351/6 and eventually posted 426, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz playing a crucial role in extending the visitors' lead. Mehidy scored 65 off 154 ****** and added valuable partnerships with Hasan Mahmud, Taijul Islam and Taskin Ahmed to guide Bangladesh past the 400-run mark.
After contributing with the bat, Mehidy returned to make another crucial impact with the ball, removing Steve Smith for 44 late in the day. Smith appeared set to guide Australia out of trouble before Mehidy took a sharp caught-and-bowled chance to reduce the hosts to 122/4.
Josh Hazlewood was the standout bowler for Australia, claiming all four Bangladesh wickets to fall on Saturday and finishing with 6/89. His dismissal of Mehidy was particularly significant as it brought up Hazlewood's 300th Test wicket. He became the fourth member of Australia's famed pace attack to reach the landmark and the ninth Australian bowler overall.
Hazlewood then dismissed Ebadot Hossain for seven to wrap up Bangladesh's innings at 426.
Australia's top order once again failed to provide a strong platform. Weatherald was dismissed without scoring before Head followed for 17, leaving Australia struggling at 37/2. Marnus Labuschagne showed some intent but was eventually bowled by Taijul Islam for 31 off 59 ****** after missing a straight delivery. Smith's dismissal then left Australia reeling at 122/4 before Green and Carey steadied the innings.
Australia's biggest successful comeback from a first-innings deficit at home came in 2010, when they recovered from 206 runs behind Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground. With Australia still 67 runs short of even drawing level, Bangladesh have placed themselves in an excellent position to create history in the first Test of the two-match series.

Bangladesh were bowled out for just 54 in their second innings to lose their three-day tour match against a Cricket Australia XI by an innings and 38 runs, giving Australia's bowling attack plenty to take note of ahead of next week's first Test in Darwin.
Campbell Thompson was the main contributor to Bangladesh's collapse, taking eight wickets for 25 runs in the second innings at Marrara Oval. The 22-year-old left-arm fast bowler had taken two wickets late on Friday before returning on Saturday morning to claim six more as Bangladesh lost eight wickets for 35 runs.
Marrara Oval, where the tour match was played, is different from Marrara Stadium, which will host the first Test from Thursday.
Thompson made his South Australia debut last summer and has played only one Sheffield Shield match and two One-Day Cup games. He had, however, faced international opposition previously when he represented the Prime Minister's XI against the England Lions in November last year.
Bangladesh began the third morning at 15 for two in their second innings but lasted only 17 more overs. Opener Tanzid Hasan was the only batter to reach double figures, scoring 22.
Thompson took the first five wickets to fall after beginning Bangladesh's collapse the previous evening. Off-spinner Corey Rocchiccioli then briefly took over, adding to the six wickets he had claimed in Bangladesh's first innings.
Thompson soon returned to finish the job. He dismissed Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto lbw for a duck before taking the final two wickets with consecutive deliveries.
The defeat leaves Bangladesh with four days to prepare for their first Test in Australia in 23 years, where they are set to face Mitchell Starc, Pat **** mins and Josh Hazlewood.
Bangladesh had scored 263 in their first innings, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz making a century at No. 7 after the top order struggled on the opening day. The CA XI replied with 355, while Bangladesh seamer Hasan Mahmud took four wickets for 42 runs.
