When the ball hits the feet of Muhammad Ali, everyone is screaming. The umpire also raised his finger.
As a last attempt, Ali indicated to take a review. But the bowler Mehdi Hasan Miraj is sure, the batsman is out. The same message came to take the cap from the umpire after giving confidence to the teammates.
At that time, Mirage’s eyes were full of excitement, the satisfaction of doing something great. Only formalities are left for them to achieve a historic victory. Intense desire, hunger and focus to win; A memorable moment has been witnessed by the Mirajs, which has brought joy to the country which is going through various dangers. Miraj’s smile may have left his impression.
Bangladesh beat Pakistan by 10 wickets in the first of the two-match Test series in Rawalpindi. This is the first time Pakistan has lost by 10 wickets in their own soil.
The hosts announced the innings after losing 6 wickets in the first innings by scoring 448 runs. Later Bangladesh were all out for 565 runs in their first innings. In the second innings, when Pakistan were all out for 146 runs, the target for the visitors was just 30 runs.
Bangladesh got their first win in the 14th Test against Pakistan. Before this they could not even draw on their ground. Bangladesh managed to draw only one match against Pakistan, in Khulna in 2015.
Bangladesh had a great start to the last day. Hasan Mahmud dismissed Shan Masood in the last ball of the second over. In the beginning, however, the umpire did not give out. After taking the review, it can be seen in the replay that Masud touched the bat and the ball went into the gloves of Liton Das standing behind the wicket. Masud scored 14 runs off 37 balls.
Then Babar Azam led the team with opener Abdullah Shafiq. This time Nahid Rana brought success to the team. His ball went inside edge to Babar’s stumps for 22 off 50 balls. Shakib Al Hasan put Pakistan under more pressure in the next over.
Saud Shakil was stumped by his ball for no runs. The batsman was called for the first time in his international career. Shakib, who was under pressure from various sides, became desperate after returning him. He was doing every ball with great concentration.
Bangladesh appealed for LBW when the ball hit Rizwan’s pad on the first ball of the 33rd over. If the umpire doesn’t give out, they want to take a review, but by then the 15 seconds are over.
When Shakib bowled the next ball, Rizwan moved away from the wicket. Then Shakib threw the ball in the air, which was caught by Liton. The umpire then expressed his displeasure. Abdullah Shafiq was bowled on the last ball of that over. He returned to Sajghar after scoring 37 runs off 86 balls.
The pressure increased when Salman Agha got out just one ball later. He caught the hands of Sadman Islam standing at slip before making any runs. Mohammad Rizwan spent the rest of the session with Shaheen Shah Afridi.
Shaheen Shah Afridi was dismissed lbw by Miraj just one over after returning from break. Then Shakib dismissed Naseem Shah. However, Rizwan was a thorn in Bangladesh’s path to victory. Pakistan started dreaming of fighting on his bat.
Rizwan, who scored 150 in the previous innings, also scored a half century this time. Khurram Shehzad was also giving him great company. Miraj did not let the disappointment of Bangladesh linger. While sweeping his ball, Rizwan pulled the ball onto the stumps. 51 runs from 80 balls came from the bat of this wicketkeeper.
It didn’t take long for Pakistan to be bowled out after his departure. They were bowled out for 146, their lowest in Tests against Bangladesh. Miraj took four and Shakib took three wickets. The target in front of Bangladesh is only 30 runs.
Bangladesh did not lose any wicket in the run chase. Both the openers took Bangladesh to the port of victory. Zakir sweeps Salman Aga for four and secures the win. The camera then pans to the dressing room, where each member is buoyant; People of the country may be with them. Bangladesh has now lost all test playing countries except South Africa and India.
