Bangladesh beat Pakistan by 10 wickets in Rawalpindi Test
It has been 1,294 days since Pakistan last won a Test match at home. Their last victory was against South Africa on February 8, 2021.
Bangladesh stunned Pakistan with a 10-wicket win in the Rawalpindi Test, registering their first-ever Test win over the hosts. Najmul Shanto’s team also became the first to defeat Pakistan by ten wickets in a Test match.
Bangladesh led by 117 runs in the first innings and dismissed Pakistan for 146 on the fifth day, chasing down their 30-run target without loss. Openers Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam needed just 6.3 overs to secure Bangladesh’s historic win to lead the series 1-0.
Pakistan’s batters were largely ineffective against the Bangladeshi spinners, with Mohammad Rizwan top-scoring with 51 in the second innings. The defeat at home has led to severe trolling on social media. Here’s how the netizens reacted.
