Bangladesh secured a historic Test victory over Pakistan in Dhaka, marking their third consecutive Test win against Pakistan and Pakistan's first Test loss on Bangladeshi soil. Bangladesh's bowling attack, led by Nahid Rana's five-wicket haul, was instrumental, while batsmen like Mominul Haque and Najmul Hossain Shanto contributed significant runs. The defeat intensified scrutiny of Pakistan captain Shan Masood, who has faced multiple losses, especially in away matches since 2023.
