PAKvBAN: Clinical Bangladesh Secure Historic Test Series Sweep At Rawalpindi
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium: In what will be remembered as a monumental day in Bangladesh's cricket history, their top-order displayed remarkable composure and grit, leading the team to a historic 2-0 series sweep over Pakistan with a six-wicket victory on the fifth afternoon of the second Test at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium here on Tuesday.
This victory is only their fourth Test win on foreign soil in the last seven years. The 2-0 series triumph is Bangladesh's second overseas series win (minimum two matches in a series), with their first coming against West Indies (2-0) back in 2009. This was also Bangladesh's first series win against Pakistan.
Chasing a target of 185, Bangladesh's pursuit was anchored by crucial contributions from their top order. Zakir Hasan set the tone with a solid 40, while Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque chipped in with a steady 30 each. The experienced duo of Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan ensured that Bangladesh crossed the finish line without further setbacks.
