In Rawalpindi, Bangladesh triumphed against Pakistan in a remarkable series against all odds. Pakistan scored 274 runs in the opening session, and at one point the visitors were down to 26/6 in response. Following a pivotal 165-run stand between Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz to rescue Bangladesh, the bowlers executed their roles to simplify matters.
Pakistan was limited to 172 runs in the third innings by Hasan Mahmud and Nahid Rana, who each claimed five and four wickets. It wasn’t supposed to be easy to chase 185, but on the fifth day of the test, Bangladesh’s hitters made it look easy. With three Twenty20 Internationals and a two-match Test series ahead of them in India, this victory would offer the Najmul Shanto-led team “a lot of confidence.” Shanto stated that the team’s trip to India will be crucial and that Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim’s expertise will be useful.
The upcoming series is crucial, and this victory boosts our confidence greatly. Shakib and Mushi, who we have a lot of experience with, will be valuable in India, Shanto stated during the post-match press conference.
I’m hoping Miraz can defeat India in the same way: Najmul Shanto
Mehidy Hasan Miraz had an amazing series, taking the most wickets in the recently finished series with ten, and scoring 155 runs in two matches. For his memorable exploits, he was named Player of the Series, and captain Shanto said after the match that he hoped Miraz will do the same during the next India visit.
“I hope he can do the same against India, given the way he bowled and took five wickets in these conditions,” Shanto remarked. When discussing the series victory over Pakistan, Shanto expressed his satisfaction with the team’s effort and admiration for the pacers’ dedication, which was crucial to their success.
