Bangladesh won its first test match against Pakistan on their home ground and made history. This is undoubtedly not good news for cricket fans in Pakistan because it was a home-ground match, and nobody expected Pakistan to lose this test match against the Bangladesh team on their home ground.
The Bangladeshi team no doubt played outstandingly, especially their key player, Mushfiqur Rahim, whose performance was outstanding in this match as he put the leading scorer on board. The match was played in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, where the Bangladesh team won this test match on the final day. They performed outstandingly on the last day of this test match, especially since their bowlers outclassed Paksitani better, and helped the team win this test match with 10 wickets.
While talking about the overall match, Pakistan declared their first inning at 448/6, and the only player who performed well was Mohammad Rizwan, who scored 171 and remained unbeaten. If we talk about the Bangladeshi side, then they not only chase this target of 448 runs but also give a 117-run lead to team Pakistan with their outstanding batting, especially Mushfiqur Rahim’s with his leading 191 runs.
In the second inning, Pakistani batters lost their wickets just as expected, as the Pakistani team always has issues with the batting. They have a track record of losing wickets if their top order loses their early wickets. The team collapsed, and on the 146 runs, they were all out. The only player who put good runs on board was Rizwan, who scored 51 in the second half of the match, just like he performed well in the first inning.
Bangladesh chased the low target of 30 runs without losing any wickets, completing the victory in just under seven overs. This win not only improves their position in the ICC World Test Championship ranking but also gives them confidence in the upcoming ICC Champion Test 2025, which will be conducted in Pakistan.
Pakistan is hosting the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, and this defeat at home seems like a bad signal, as this defeat before the Champions Trophy, which is already a few months away, will lose their confidence and raise serious concerns about their bad performance at their home ground. Apart from the Bangladesh team, another big Asian team, India, is also performing well in all recent games and will give tough competition to the Pakistani team in the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan. With its recent performance, India is the hot favorite team in the ICC champion trophy 2025.
This win will boost the Bangladesh team’s confidence in the Champions Trophy 2025 due to the fact that they will be used with the pitches and Pakistani bowlers, which puts them on the frontfoot in the upcoming big ICC tournament in Pakistan.
