Bangladesh achieved a historic 2-0 series sweep against Pakistan by clinching the second test in Rawalpindi on Tuesday. The visitors chased down a 185-run target, winning by six wickets with more than a session to spare.

Zakir Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, and Mominul Haq provided key contributions, but it was veterans Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan who led Bangladesh to victory. Resuming the final day at 42 for no wicket, Bangladesh lost Zakir and Shadman Islam in the morning session but remained in control.

Shanto and Mominul were dismissed post-lunch, but Rahim and Shakib held firm. It was Shakib who sealed the victory by driving spinner Abrar Ahmed for four through the covers, marking Bangladesh's first-ever test series win over Pakistan.
