History made as Bangladesh beat Pakistan in Test series first time
Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by six wickets in the second Test
Rawalpindi: In what appeared to be a historic embarrassment for Pakistan cricket, Bangladesh defeated Pakistan in the second Test at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, making a clean sweep in the two-match series.
Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by six wickets in the second Test. Pakistani players completely collapsed in batting, bowling and fielding in both matches.
Openers Zakir Hasan (40) and Shadman Islam (24) fell to Pakistan's pace attack in the first session, but skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto on 33 and Mominul Haque, 20, were unbeaten at the break as they chase 185 to win.
Bangladesh won the first Test by 10 wickets -- also in Rawalpindi last month -- for their first victory over Pakistan in 14 matches.
Resuming at 42 without loss, 16 runs were added before Pakistan got the first breakthrough when Mir Hamza bowled Zakir with a delivery that moved away.
Fellow pace bowler Khurram Shahzad got in on the act when Shadman miscued a drive, chipping to Shan Masood at mid-off.
Najmul and Mominul dug in to stop any further inroads with the captain bringing up their fifty partnership off the last ball before lunch.
Najmul has hit four boundaries so far in his 33 off 68 balls while Mominul found the ropes twice in his 30 off 46 balls.
