Recently, the international cricket scene saw a major change when Bangladesh, against all odds, defeated Pakistan in the second Test match of their bilateral series. Securing this outstanding away victory in Rawalpindi, Bangladesh’s national cricket team has today surpassed India in the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 points table and has secured the fifth position, the most desired one. Such a shocking result has triggered a lot of discussions on Pakistan cricket team’s ongoing home ground failures, and at the same time, on celebrating one of the greatest away victories in Bangladesh’s Test cricket history.
With Najmul Hossain Shanto leading the charge, Bangladesh walked through a flawless strategic display of skills on foreign soil. Nahid Rana showed great presence with the ball, while batter-cum-wicket keeper Litton Das gave fantastic stability with the bat during pressing situations. This huge win is one of their best performances in overseas series, which not only gave a big boost to their morale but also cemented their strong image for the rest of the ICC World Test Championship cycle.

Points are heavily deducted for maintaining slow over rates during the matches.
The painful reality of playing red ball cricket on home soil continues to severely haunt the Pakistan national squad. Led by Shan Masood, the team looked completely clueless against a highly disciplined visiting bowling attack. Star batters, including Babar Azam and Saud Shakeel, failed to build any crucial partnerships, leading to a massive batting collapse in the second innings.
This humiliating series defeat further extends their massive winless drought at home, raising serious questions about their preparation strategies and domestic pitch curation.
