Bangladesh secured a commanding 104-run victory over Pakistan in the Dhaka Test, taking a 1–0 lead in the two-match series. On the final day, Pakistan were set a target of 268 runs but were bowled out for 163, leaving 23 overs unused. Fast bowler Nahid Rana produced a decisive spell, taking 5 wickets for 40 runs in 9.5 overs, dismantling Pakistan’s middle and lower order. Earlier, captain Najmul Hossain Shanto top-scored with 87 in Bangladesh’s second innings of 240 for 9 declared, adding to his first-innings century.
The match saw Bangladesh dominate across all departments—batting, bowling, fielding, and captaincy. Shanto’s leadership and calculated declaration reflected confidence in his bowlers, a belief rewarded by the combined efforts of Nahid Rana, Taskin Ahmed, Taijul Islam, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Pakistan’s batting faltered under pressure, with only Abdullah Fazal managing a half-century.
This win continues Bangladesh’s strong record against Pakistan in recent Tests, following a 2–0 series victory in Rawalpindi two years earlier. The second Test of the current series is scheduled for May 16–20 in Sylhet.
