Bangladesh Humiliates Hosts Pakistan with Historic 2-0 Test Series Sweep

 Bangladesh Humiliates Hosts Pakistan with Historic 2-0 Test Series Sweep

Bangladesh became the first Asian team to achieve a 2-0 Test series sweep in Pakistan.

The Bangladesh cricket team continued their remarkable journey in Pakistan, securing their second consecutive Test victory to clinch the series 2-0. This historic triumph marks the first time Bangladesh has completed a clean sweep against an Asian side on their home turf, delivering a defeat that Pakistan and the broader cricket world will remember for years. Historically, Bangladesh has struggled in Test cricket away from home, with their only previous series sweep in a multi-Test series coming against West Indies in 2009.

Pakistan, eager to bounce back after a 10-wicket defeat in the first Test, fell short once again in the second match. Recurrent issues with both batting and bowling plagued the hosts, leading to their second home Test series sweep in three years. Pakistan had previously been whitewashed 0-3 by England during their 2022 tour.

In the second Test, Pakistan initially seemed to have put up a decent fight, posting 274/10 in the first innings, with half-centuries from Saim Ayyub, Shan Masood, and Agha Salman. However, key players like Babar Azam (31), Abdullah Shafique (0), Saud Shakeel (16), and Mohammad Rizwan (29) failed to make a significant impact.

In response, Bangladesh struggled early, collapsing to 26/6 before Litton Das's counter-attacking century propelled them to a total of 262. In Pakistan's second innings, Bangladesh's bowlers shone, dismissing the hosts for just 172, with Hasan Mahmud leading the charge with a 5-wicket haul.

Despite some stumbles in their second innings, Bangladesh comfortably chased down the target of 185 runs, winning with 6 wickets in hand. Pakistan notably missed their star pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi, who was unavailable for selection due to the birth of his son. This defeat will be remembered as a dark chapter in Pakistan's cricket history, as Bangladesh became the first Asian side to complete a Test series sweep on Pakistani soil.
