Shanto, Rana shatter records in Bangladesh’s historic victory
The latest victory marked their first Test win over Pakistan on home soil.
It was also the Tigers’ third consecutive Test victory against Pakistan.
Bangladesh set a target of 268 runs in the Mirpur Test and, on the fifth day, bowled Pakistan out for 163.
Rana became the first pace bowler in Bangladesh’s 26-year Test history to claim five wickets in the fourth innings of a match.
His devastating spell of 5-40 not only dismantled Pakistan’s chase but also ended a 16-year drought for Bangladeshi seamers on home soil.
