Captain Habibul Bashar was in jubilant mood after Bangladesh scored a shock five-wicket win over world champions Australia in a triangular series one-day match on Saturday.
"I am the happiest man in the world today," said Bashar at the presentation ceremony. "This win can take us a long way.
"We have been struggling but after this match we can improve in our next few games and we can do a lot of things.
"From the previous match we played (against England on Thursday) we have started to not give up...we have batted hard and we have worked hard."
In reply to Australia's 249 for five in 50 overs, Mohammad Ashraful thumped a run-a-ball century, only the second scored in one-dayers by a Bangladeshi, as his side won with four balls to spare.
Before the start Australia were 500-1 ON with bookmakers Coral to beat Bangladesh, the lowest-ranked one-day team in the International Cricket Council table. Bangladesh were 50-1 against with Skybet though as low as 16-1 with two other firms.
Bangladesh had not beaten Australia in six previous one-day meetings. They had only defeated two of the leading test sides before, Pakistan and India, in 107 games.
THREE DEFEATS
Australia have now lost three matches in a row, following the Twenty20 loss by England on Monday and the one-day defeat by Somerset on Wednesday.
Skipper Ricky Ponting said: "It's not a great start (to the tour) for us, there's no doubt about that.
"I probably misinterpreted the wicket a little bit this morning. The ball nipped around for a fair while, which I didn't think it would do.
"But the Bangladeshis made the most of the conditions this morning and then played very, very well this afternoon.
"We've got a lot of thinking to do and a lot of work to do and we haven't got much time to do it. We've got a game tomorrow (against England), so it's going to be a long bus trip (to Bristol) tonight."
Asked if he was getting ready to press the panic button, Ponting replied: "No, but it's getting close...trust me".
