Bangladesh made history by securing their first-ever Test victory over Pakistan, triumphing by 10 wickets in the opening match of the series
This landmark win came after 14 encounters with Pakistan, where the Tigers had suffered 12 defeats and managed just one draw
Following this victory, India and South Africa are now the only teams that Bangladesh has yet to defeat in Test cricket
This victory also provided Bangladesh with a significant boost in the ICC World Test Championship standings, as they leapfrogged Pakistan and South Africa to the sixth spot, tied on point percentage with Sri Lanka by 40 percentage
For Bangladesh, Mushfiqur Rahim (191) and Shadnam Islam (93) were the standout performers, making Pakistan toil in the field for much of Day 4
