NEW DELHI: Bangladesh not only created history with their maiden Test victory over Pakistan but also achieved a unique landmark in the annals of cricket history. The victory marked Bangladesh as the only team to accomplish a remarkable feat that no other side has managed to replicate on Pakistani soil.
Bangladesh etched a momentous chapter in cricketing history by becoming the first team to inflict a 10-wicket defeat on Pakistan on their home turf in a Test match.
Bangladesh achieved a historic triumph against Pakistan in the opening Test in Rawalpindi on Sunday. This marked their maiden win in the longest format of the game against the host nation in 14 encounters.
The visitors secured a substantial 117-run lead in the first innings. On the final day of the match, Bangladesh bowled out Pakistan for a mere 146 runs, leaving themselves a target of just 30 runs to chase down. The Bangladeshi openers accomplished this task without losing a single wicket.
This was also the first instance of Bangladesh winning a Test in which their opponent declared an innings.
Openers Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam took only 6.3 overs to seal Bangladesh’s historic victory.
Pakistan’s batters struggled against Bangladesh’s spinners, with Mohammad Rizwan top-scoring with 51 in the second innings.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz claimed 4-21, while Shakib Al Hasan took 3-44.
Bangladesh now lead the two-match series 1-0, with the final Test set to begin in Rawalpindi on August 30.
