Pak vs Ban 2nd Test: Bangladesh Moves To 4th In WTC 2025 points table: Pakistan vs Bangladesh’s 2nd Test match in Rawalpindi ended with the guest having a historic 2-0 series win, which is their first Test series win against Pakistan ever. During the first inning, Mehidy Hasan Miraz took 5-61. Hence, Pakistan’s first innings score was only 274 runs, as Bangladeshi bowlers had the upper hand in the beginning. Even though at some point Bangladesh was 26-6, Litton Das and Mehidy made a turnaround for them, scoring 138 runs.
In the second innings too, Pakistan could not make it better as they only managed to score 172 runs while Hasan Mahmud and Nahid Rana took nine wickets. Bangladesh’s response was not hard, chasing down the 185-run target with relative ease through a six-wicket victory.
This win signifies two things, one being that soon enough Bangladesh will be a force to recognise, and Pakistan in total domestic cricket is doomed because for the last ten matches they have played at home ground, they have lost all of them.
