Bangladesh Makes History By Defeating Pakistan 2-0 In Test Series

3rd September 2024 will go down in history as one of the happiest days for the Bangladesh Cricket Team. 

Najmul Hussain Shanto led Bangladesh has clean swept the two-match test series against Pakistan in Rawalpindi. 

The visitors won the 1st test by 10 wickets, thanks to Mushfiqur Rahim’s massive 191-run knock. 

The hosts were looking to save face by winning the PAK vs BAN 2nd test and leveling the series 1-1. Unfortunately for them, the Bangladesh cricket team outshone them in all 3 departments of the game. 

Shakib Al Hasan scored the winning runs as he struck Abrar Ahmed for a boundary, steering Bangladesh to clean sweep the series 2-0.

The Men in Green posted a mediocre total of 185 which the Bangladesh team chased quite comfortably. 

Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto made a modest contribution to the chase with his 38 runs. Mominul supported the skipper with his 34-run knock. 

Bangladesh’s experienced batsmen Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan then joined hands and helped their team cross the finish line. 

The tourists won the 2nd test with 6 wickets. This is Bangladesh’s first test series victory against Pakistan.
