History was made in Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium as this was Bangladesh’s first ever series win over Pakistan with six wickets in the second test. Bangladesh won the first test by 10 wickets last month for their first victory over Pakistan in 14 matches. This historic win propelled Bangladesh from sixth to fourth place in the world Test Championship Standings overtaking South Africa and England.
Bangladesh’s batters played well and contributed to the team’s win. Chasing 185, Zakir Hasan scored 40, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque scored 30 respectively. Meanwhile for Pakistan’s batters only Mohammed Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha remained unbeaten on 47, the rest didn’t put in much efforts.
In the second session, Bangladesh required 63 runs with eight wickets to make the historic win. Agha Salman fired into the leg stump and Player Shanto tried some passes and through backward point he got a four and this led to his ousting as he could only defend straight to the short-leg fielder. Mominul was so composed in the first session and became more aggressive after Shanto left. He got another four off Mir Hamza though off an edge.
