Bangladesh win first-ever Test match against Green Shirts

Bangladesh have outclassed Pakistan winning the first Test match at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

Brilliant performance showed by Bangladesh bowlers who ran through Pakistani batters on the fifth day on Sunday.

After bowling out the Green Shirts at 146 in the second innings, Bangladeshi openers Zakir Hasan, 15*, and Sadhman Islam, 19* eased past the 30-run target, which was set by the Shan Masood-led side. The visitors achieved the target in mere 6.3 overs.

Bengal  Tigers’ today’s win have made their way to history books as this is their first-ever victory against Pakistan in red-ball cricket.

Earlier in the day, Pakistani batters failed to offer much resistance against visitors. Babar Azam scored 22, Shan Masood 14, Saud Shakeel 0, Abdullah Shafique 37 and Salman Ali Agha 0.

Mohammad Rizwan scored 51 and lost his wicket after being bowled out by Mehidy Hasan.

Shaheen Afridi made 2, Nasheem Shah 3  and Mohammad Ali (0) couldn’t hold off the Bangladeshi bowlers for long and the team  eventually bowled out at 146.

Yesterday, Bangladesh dominated taking a lead of 117 runs as they made 565 in reply to Pakistan’s 448/6. Mushfiqur Rahim scored 191 off 341 balls.

The visitors started batting at 316-5 in 92 overs with Rahim (55 off 122) and Litton Das (52 off 58) on the crease.

Naseem Shah removed Das with Rizwan taking a catch. But, Rahim scored a brilliant century.

Rahim and Hasan made a stunning partnership, putting Pakistan on the back foot. Rahim was on course to hit his fourth double-century but fell short of nine runs as Ali removed him.

Shaheen Shah Afridi removed Mahmud and Mehidy while Naseem Shah got the wicket of Islam who made 22 off 14 balls
