The defeat marked Pakistan\u2019s third consecutive Test loss against Bangladesh. It was also Bangladesh\u2019s first-ever home Test victory over Pakistan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While Bangladesh celebrated a historic win powered by Nahid Rana\u2019s fiery spell of 5-40, Pakistan fans showed their frustration online, with much of the criticism directed at Shan Masood\u2019s captaincy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
One user wrote, \u201cYet they are continuing with Shan Masood. Shan Masood should step down himself.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Another user pointed out Pakistan\u2019s poor record under the current skipper, saying, \u201cPakistan have now become only the second team after Zimbabwe to lose three consecutive Tests against Bangladesh. Shan Masood already has 11 defeats in just 15 Tests as captain. That's disastrous.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A different fan posted, \u201cNo Pakistan captain except Shan Masood has ever lost a Test match to Bangladesh. Three straight losses now. Unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pakistan were still in the contest heading into the final session while chasing 268, largely thanks to debutant Abdullah Fazal, who scored a composed 66 under pressure. He also shared an important partnership with Salman Ali Agha to keep Pakistan\u2019s hopes alive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, Bangladesh turned the game around immediately after tea. Veteran spinner Taijul Islam dismissed Fazal through a successful review before Taskin Ahmed removed Salman in the very next over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nahid Rana then ripped through Pakistan\u2019s middle and lower order with a sensational burst. He dismissed Saud Shakeel before bowling Mohammad Rizwan with a sharp nip-backer that crashed into the stumps.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rizwan\u2019s dismissal sparked another wave of reactions online, especially after his confident pre-match comments about Pakistan\u2019s ability to chase any target.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
One user mocked, \u201cRizwan before the match: \u2018We can chase any target easily.\u2019 Rizwan during the chase: 15 runs and bowled by Nahid Rana.\u201d Another fan joked, \u201cNahid Rana had Rizwan doing a full nagin dance before knocking his stumps over. Absolute cinema.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja also reacted to the result, taking a jibe at Pakistan by reminding them of the famous surrender of Pakistan's army in the 1971 war. \u201cOnce again, Pakistan surrendered in front of Bangladesh in Bangladesh, IYKYK,\u201d He wrote on X. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile, another social media user praised Bangladesh\u2019s fast bowler, writing, \u201cNahid Rana's spell after tea completely changed the game. Pure fast-bowling masterclass.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

With this loss, Pakistan dropped down two places in the updated WTC points table after their 104-run drubbing. They were in fifth place in the standings, one above India, but fell to seventh with this loss. India went one place up, while Bangladesh also moved up two spots from eighth to sixth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
