Bangladesh made history by winning a Test series in Pakistan, defeating the hosts 2-0 in a two-match series in Rawalpindi.
The Tigers claimed victory in the first match by 10 wickets and followed it up with a six-wicket win in the second match, marking a new chapter in their cricketing history.
Key contributors to this historic achievement were the five-wicket hauls from Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Hasan Mahmud, as well as a record-breaking century from Litton Das, all of which were crucial to Bangladesh’s success.
To win the second match, Bangladesh needed to chase down 185 in the fourth innings-and they did so in style.
The most challenging phase for Bangladesh came when they lost six wickets for just 26 runs. However, a resilient partnership between Mehidy and Litton rescued the team. Litton finished with a century, and Mehidy added a crucial half-century.
As Bangladesh pursued the target of 185, play was called off early on the fourth afternoon due to bad light. On the fifth morning, Bangladesh lost two quick wickets, but that wasn’t enough to prevent them from securing a historic win.
Bangladesh outperformed the hosts in all departments in both matches. In the first match, Mushfiqur Rahim’s century paved the way for a series win that Bangladesh will remember for a long time.
This victory marks Bangladesh’s ninth Test series win overall and their first against Pakistan. Previously, Bangladesh had won multi-match Test series only against Zimbabwe and the West Indies.
