Bangladesh players celebrate taking a wicket on the way to their maiden Test win over Pakistan 

Spinners Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shakib Al Hasan took seven wickets between them to secure Bangladesh’s maiden win over Pakistan in five-day cricket, a stunning 10-wicket victory in the first Test in Rawalpindi yesterday.

Mehidy grabbed 4/21 and Shakib 3/44 to trigger a Pakistan collapse on the fifth day, with the home side dismissed for 146 runs in 55.5 overs.

That left Bangladesh a target of just 30 runs, which openers Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam reached in 6.3 overs.

Zakir (15) hit the winning boundary, with Shadman at the other end unbeaten on nine, as their squad celebrated a memorable victory.

Mohammad Rizwan top-scored for Pakistan in the second innings with 51, including six boundaries, but the home team were staring at defeat on 108/6 at lunch.

A holiday crowd of nearly 5,000 expected Pakistan to fight out a draw but Mehidy bowled Rizwan and trapped last man Mohammad Ali for a duck in successive overs.

Pakistan 448/6 dec. (Rizwan 171 n.o., Shakeel 141) and 146 (Rizwan 51, Mehidy 4/21, Shakib 3/44)
Bangladesh 565 (Mushfiqur 191, Naseem 3/93) and 30/0 (Zakir 15 n.o.)
