Bangladesh clinched their first-ever Test series 2-0 over Pakistan, defeating the hosts by six wickets in the second Test at Rawalpindi, on Tuesday.


This is Tiger's third away series win, following wins in West Indies in 2009 and Zimbabwe in 2021.


Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque laid the foundation for the Tigers, in pursuit of 185 runs. Then Shakib (21) and Mushfiqur (22) made crucial contributions to seize the win against Pakistan.


Shakib struck a boundary in Abrar Ahmed's last delivery of the 56th over to celebrate the win on a high note.

Bangladesh were set 185 runs to win after the hosts were bundled for 172 in the second innings. Pacers Hasan Mahmud and Nahid Rana shared nine wickets to rattle down Pakistan before rain stopped play on the fourth day.


Hasan recorded career-best figures of 5-43, while Nahid claimed 4-44, as they dismissed Pakistan for 172.


Pakistan earlier were bowled out for 274 in its first innings, after being tormented by Mehidy Hasan Miraz who took 5-61. Litton Das then struck an incredible 138 and Miraz made 78 as Bangladesh posted 262.
