BAN vs PAK, 2nd Test Highlights: Mohammad Rizwan 94 goes in vain as Bangladesh cleansweep the Test series 2-0

BAN vs PAK, 2nd Test Highlights: Bangladesh completed a historic 2-0 Test series whitewash with a comprehensive 78-run victory on Day 5 of the second Test at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
This marks Bangladesh's first clean sweep in a Test series against Pakistan at home and second overall, after their 2-0 win in Pakistan back in 2024.

Chasing a mammoth fourth-innings target of 437 runs, Pakistan put up a spirited resistance but were eventually bowled out for 358. Left-arm spinner Taijul was the architect of the final-day demolition, running through the Pakistani batting lineup to seal a memorable victory for the hosts. He claimed bowling figures of 6/120 in 34.2 overs.

Opting to bowl first, Pakistan conceded 278 runs in the first innings courtesy of a brilliant counter-attacking 126 from Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das.

In response, Pakistan stuttered as they were bundled out for 232 despite a brisk 68 runs off 84 balls from Babar Azam. Bangladesh speedster Nahid Rana and Taijul Islam picked three wickets apiece to hand Bangladesh a crucial 46-run first-innings cushion.

Bangladesh batted Pakistan out of the game in the third innings, posting a massive 390 on the board. Veteran Mushfiqur Rahim anchored the innings with a masterful 137 off 233 balls while Litton Das continued his good form with a fluent 69, setting Pakistan a massive target of 437.

Pakistan's run chase was built around a gritty 92-run sixth-wicket partnership between skipper Shan Masood (71) and Babar Azam (47) for the third wicket and then a 134-run stand between Agha and Mohammad Rizwan (94).

Despite the resistance from the Pakistan batters, Bangladesh spin proved dominant as Taijul Islam claimed wickets of Azam and Masood and then dismantled the tail, finishing the match with a match-defining six-wicket haul.

Following their commanding 104-run victory in the opening Test at Dhaka, this 78-run triumph in Sylhet ensures Najmul Hossain Shanto's side registers a landmark consecutive Test series sweep against Pakistan after their 2-0 win over Pakistan back in 2024.

Taijul Islam to Shan Masood, OUT! CAUGHT! A big, big wicket for Taijul Islam and the celebration from the catcher, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, tells you the story. He bowls it short, pitching it on off, and turns it into the batter. Shan Masood hangs back and tries to pat it down, but the extra bounce takes the splice off the bat. Joy at short leg stays low and takes a fantastic catch around his shoelaces. Just when we thought the resilience would continue from Pakistan's skipper, he has lost his wicket. Pakistan lose both the set batters in quick succession.

Nahid Rana to Saud Shakeel, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Rana unleashes his magic again. Much fuller, almost a yorker from Rana, wide outside off. Saud Shakeel plays away from the body, looks to drop his bat down to jam it away, but gets nicked on the outside edge. Huge appeal from Bangladesh and up goes the finger. However, Saud Shakeel opts for a review. The UltraEdge shows a clear spike when the bat grazes the ground, but there is a spike when the ball passes the bat as well and the on-field decision is upheld. The change to bring Nahid Rana back into the attack has done wonders for the Bangla Tigers. Pakistan are 154 for 4 now.

DRINKS BREAK! Despite losing Babar Azam, Pakistan have maintained a decent pace in this afternoon session, adding 51 runs in 17 overs so far. Shan Masood has held one end solidly and has largely looked unchallenged. Though there is some turn on offer for both the spinners, Shan has played them really well. Still a very long way to go for Pakistan as they need 285 runs. Bangladesh have a lot of runs to play with, but they will look to prevent big partnerships from materialising and keep chipping away at the wickets. Back to pace as Nahid Rana (7-2-24-1) is back on after the hydration break, replacing Mehidy Hasan Miraz.

BAN vs PAK, 2nd Test Highlights: Bangladesh national cricket team completed a historic 2-0 Test series whitewash over Pakistan national cricket team after securing a 78-run victory in the second Test at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Bangladesh recovered from an early collapse in the first innings thanks to a brilliant century from Litton Das before bowling Pakistan out for just over 230 to gain a crucial lead. Mushfiqur Rahim then starred with 137 in the second innings, helping Bangladesh set a massive 437-run target.

Pakistan fought hard in the chase through captain Shan Masood, Babar Azam, Salman Ali Agha and a heroic 94 from Mohammad Rizwan, but Bangladesh spinner Taijul Islam produced a match-winning spell, finishing with six wickets in the innings and nine in the match. Bangladesh eventually bowled Pakistan out for 358 on Day 5 to complete a dominant series sweep.
