Spinner Taijul Islam took six wickets to lead Bangladesh to a 78-run win over Pakistan in the second Test and clinch a famous 2-0 series win on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pakistan, who started the fifth day on 316-7 while chasing a record 437, were bowled out for 328 in the first session in Sylhet after Mohammad Rizwan hit a valiant 94.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It was Bangladesh's first Test series win at home against Pakistan and a second successive sweep after their 2-0 triumph on Pakistani soil in 2024.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Wicketkeeper Rizwan kept Pakistan in the hunt for an unlikely win with a 166-ball stay after the visitors had slumped to 162-5 on day four.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rizwan put on an eighth-wicket partnership of 54 with overnight partner Sajid Khan, who made 28.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Taijul broke through to dismiss Sajid for his 18th Test five-wicket haul and Shoriful Islam had Rizwan caught in the next over to end Pakistan's resistance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Taijul took the final wicket of Khurram Shahzad to return figures of 6-120 and trigger Bangladesh celebrations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The left-arm spinner also took 3-67 during Pakistan's first innings 232.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangladesh wicketkeeper Litton Das scored 126 in their first-innings 278.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Veteran batsman Mushfiqur Rahim scored 137 in the second to guide Bangladesh to 390, with contributions from Mahmudul Hasan Joy (52) and Litton (69).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangladesh, led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, won the opening Test by 104 runs.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bangladesh-vs-Pakistan-2nd-Test1.jpeg", "alt_img": "Bangladesh vs Pakistan 2026 Second Test", "alt_title": "Pakistan tour of Bangladesh 2026", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Bangladesh Create History with 2-0 Test Series Sweep Over Pakistan as Taijul Islam Stars On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Taijul Islam claimed six wickets as Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by 78 runs in the second Test at Sylhet to seal a historic 2-0 series sweep.
