Bangladesh’s pacemen have secured a record-breaking Test win over Afghanistan, leading to a review of the five biggest Test wins by runs. The list includes five-day tests only. At the top of the list is Bangladesh’s historic win by 546 runs against Afghanistan in Mirpur in 2023. Najmul Hossain Shanto hit two hundreds (146 and 124) and Mominul Haque scored a hundred (121*) in the second innings. In second place is South Africa’s 492-run win against Australia in Johannesburg in 2018, where Vernon Philander took his team to victory with nine wickets and also scored 33* in the second innings. Australia’s 491-run win against Pakistan in Perth in 2004 is third on the list, with Justin Langer’s top performance in both innings (191 and 97) and eight wickets from Glenn McGrath leading the way. Sri Lanka’s 465-run win against Bangladesh in Chattogram in 2009, where Tillakaratne Dilshan hit two quick centuries (162 and 143), is fourth. Lastly, West Indies’ victory against England by 425 runs in Manchester in 1976, where Gordon Greenidge hit hundreds in both innings (134 and 101), rounds out the list. Clive Lloyd’s team gave England no chance, as they were bowled out for 71 and 126 respectively.
