Nahid Rana's Five-for Inspires Bangladesh To 104-run Victory Over Pakistan
Salman Ali Agha: Bangladesh scripted another memorable chapter in their recent resurgence against Pakistan as pace sensation Nahid Rana produced a match-winning spell of fast bowling to seal a dramatic 104-run victory in the first Test at Mirpur on Tuesday.
Before 2024, Bangladesh had never beaten Pakistan in a Test match. Now, they have achieved three consecutive victories against their Asian rivals. This latest win also marks their first home Test victory over Pakistan. Rana ended with impressive figures of 5 for 40, helping the hosts dismiss Pakistan for 163 while defending a target of 268 during the final session on day five.
The match was tense as it entered the final session. Pakistan still needed 152 runs with seven wickets in hand, and all three results remained possible. Much of Pakistan’s resistance came from debutant Abdullah Fazal, who batted maturely under pressure.
