The match between Pakistan and Bangladesh in August 2024, held at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, was historic for Bangladesh as they defeated Pakistan by 10 wickets, marking their first-ever Test win in Pakistan. Bangladesh’s 565-run total in the first innings was their highest in a winning cause. Pakistan had earlier declared at 448/6, but their batting collapse against quality spin bowling in the final innings allowed Bangladesh to chase down the target with ease.
Key moments included Mushfiqur Rahim’s stellar performance, earning him the player of the match, and Bangladesh’s first-ever 10-wicket Test victory.
The victory also highlighted Bangladesh’s achievement in Test cricket, with their bowlers, led by Mehidy Hasan and Shakib Al Hasan, playing pivotal roles. The match saw multiple records, including Bangladesh’s highest innings total in a winning cause.
