Bangladesh made history with a 10-wicket win over Pakistan in a Test match in Rawalpindi. The team dedicated the win to those who lost their lives in recent political protests back home. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto expressed the team’s tribute to the deceased individuals. The win was significant for Bangladesh, as it was their first victory against Pakistan in 14 attempts.
The top player, Mushfiqur Rahim, donated his prize money to flood survivors in Bangladesh. His 191-run innings in the first innings earned him the player of the match award. Rahim encouraged others to donate and help those affected by the floods.
The loss marked Pakistan’s fourth Test loss in a row at home, with the team struggling to find success in red-ball cricket. Captain Shan Masood acknowledged the team’s mistakes and expressed hope for improvement in future games. The defeat extended Pakistan’s winless streak at home to five losses and four draws.
Despite facing political turmoil back home, Bangladesh’s cricket team excelled on the field, showcasing determination and skill. The team’s victory was a source of joy and smiles during a challenging period. The second Test between Bangladesh and Pakistan will also be held in Rawalpindi, following the completion of ongoing construction work at the National Bank Stadium.
