Bangladesh’s cricket team has indeed made history with their first-ever Test victory against Pakistan, a momentous achievement that has brought joy to a nation grappling with political challenges.
The win in Rawalpindi on August 25, 2024, not only marks Bangladesh’s first triumph over Pakistan in Test cricket but also represents the first time a visiting team has defeated Pakistan by 10 wickets on their home turf.
This victory comes after 13 matches between the two sides, with Bangladesh previously enduring 12 losses and managing only one draw. The win is a testament to the resilience and progress of the Bangladeshi team, which capitalized on a solid first-innings lead of 117 runs, thanks to standout performances by Mushfiqur Rahim and Shadman Islam.
In the second innings, the spin duo of Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shakib al Hasan dominated Pakistan’s batting lineup, restricting them to just 146 runs. Bangladesh’s openers, Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam, then calmly secured the 30 runs needed to clinch the victory, sealing a historic 10-wicket win. This remarkable achievement will undoubtedly be celebrated as a proud moment in Bangladesh’s cricketing history.
