New Delhi: After facing a shameful thrashing at the hands of the Bangladesh cricket team in front of their home crowd, the men in green will be itching to exact their revenge on the Bangladeshi team. On the other hand, the Bangladeshi side will be high on hope as they managed to find their first-ever win on Pakistani soil.
Bangladesh and Pakistan have played around 14 Test matches so far. Out of these 14, the Pakistani cricket team won 12 of the matches while the Bangladeshi side only managed to secure a draw. Finally, the Bangladeshis have managed to salvage a draw for themselves. The Pakistanis were shambolic in the field and scuttled their ship which was heading towards a comfortable draw.

From the shock decision of declaring the innings mid-way which led to Rizwan’s missed double-century opportunity to slumping to 146 runs in the second innings. Furthermore, Pakistan’s struggle against spin in the second innings was exposed once again as Shakib al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz ran riot in the Pakistani batting lineup. Shakib ended with figures of 3/44 from 17 overs while Mehidy ended with 4/21 from 11.5 overs. As a result, the Bangladeshi batsman got the required cushion to win the game.
Nevertheless, the second and final test promises to be exciting as the two sides would like to go from toe-to-toe in a high-stake game. With the country going through a tumultuous time in its history since independence following the exit of Sheikh Hasina, this win will bring smiles to a lot of Bangladeshi faces who have been maimed by the recent violence.
