Mehidy & Shakib Star As Bangladesh Script History With Maiden Test Win Over Pakistan
Shakib Al Hasan: On the back of stellar show from spinners Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Bangladesh scripted history by registering their first-ever victory over Pakistan in Test cricket through a ten-wicket win in the series opener at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
Before this game, Bangladesh had met Pakistan 13 times in men’s Tests, but never emerged victorious. For a brief moment, it looked like the same script would pan out in the first Test, as a docile pitch meant draw was imminent.
But Bangladesh had other ideas by bowling out Pakistan for just 146 in the second innings, and then chased down 30 with ease to spark joyous scenes and big smiles in the visitors’ dugout. Fittingly enough, Bangladesh’s historic Test win came on the day their captain Najmul Hossain Shanto turned 26.
