Bangladesh Made History After Defeating Pakistan:
Bangladesh made history by defeating Pakistan in a two-match Test series, marking one of the most significant achievements in their cricketing journey. Throughout the tour, Bangladesh displayed exceptional resilience, refusing to back down even in the most challenging situations.
Despite being 26/6 in response to Pakistan’s 274 in the second Test, the Tigers fought back fiercely, narrowing the deficit to just 12 runs. They then bowled Pakistan out for 172 in the second innings and secured a comfortable win. Their dominance was evident from the start, with a convincing 10-wicket victory in the first Test.
Shanto expressed immense joy after the historic series win, noting a renewed sense of belief within the dressing room this time around. He also mentioned that this victory would bring much-needed joy to the people of Bangladesh, who are currently facing challenges due to the ongoing civil unrest in the country. The win symbolizes hope and unity, offering a moment of pride amidst difficult times.
He said, “ The belief in the dressing room is very different this time,” Shanto said. “We were nervous (at 26-6) but the way Litton and Miraz batted … we believed that those guys will take us to a good position. We read the conditions very well. The bowlers did their job … and just tried to bowl in the channel for a long time, not like one or two overs. The bowlers did a lot of hard work and that’s why we got the result.”
