Meanwhile, Litton Das was named as the Player of the Match while Mehidy Hasan Miraz was for announced as the Player of the series for his exceptional performance. Wicketkeeper Das smashed a stupendous 138-run knock in the first innings of the Test match to set the perfect base for the visiting team while Miraz bagged 10 wickets in both the matches becoming the standout player.
Pakistan cricket is probably at their lowest point ever as they were knocked out in the group stages of the ODI World Cup 2023 and then same happened with them in the T20 World Cup 2024. This Bangladesh series loss at home comes up as a big blow for a nation who’s was known for its superior cricketing prowess.
Bangladesh beat Pakistan by 6 wickets in the second Test match at Rawalpindi to win the series 2-0. In the first Test, Bangladesh had humiliated the hosts by 10 wickets. Cricket Sports News: Latest Cricket News, Cricket Live Score, Sports Breaking News from Sports Today
