Bangladesh’s cricket team achieved a historic 10-wicket win over Pakistan in the first Test in Rawalpindi. The victory was dedicated to the people who lost their lives in political protests back home. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto paid tribute to the individuals who recently passed away in the nation during the protests. The historic win brought a sense of joy during a difficult political situation in the country.
Senior player Mushfiqur Rahim donated his prize money to flood survivors in Bangladesh, urging others to contribute to the cause. The win was a significant achievement for Bangladesh, marking their first Test win against Pakistan in 14 matches. The team showcased their character and skill in challenging conditions, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shakib Al Hasan leading the way with their exceptional performances.
Pakistan struggled to put up a strong fight, conceding a significant first innings lead and collapsing in their second innings. The loss extended Pakistan’s poor run in red-ball cricket at home. Captain Shan Masood acknowledged the team’s mistakes and expressed hope for a better performance in the next game.
The second Test will be played at Rawalpindi as well, following the relocation due to construction work at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi. Bangladesh’s remarkable victory has brought pride to the nation and demonstrates the resilience and determination of the team in the face of adversity.
