Bangladesh Creates History, Pakistan Cricket Reaches a New Low in Test Cricket
Bangladesh has stunned everyone with a series win over Pakistan in the 2-match Test series by 2-0. It is also their first-ever series win over Pakistan and that too in away conditions.
The visitors already shocked the cricketing world by upsetting Pakistan in the 1st Test. They have continued the momentum and have brought victory for the country in the 2nd Test as well.
It was a fabulous performance by the team where Mehidy Hasan Miraz became the player of the series and Litton Das was the player of the match.
The Test series win for Bangladesh has come at the right time as the country is going through political turmoil. A win over one of their arch-rivals will be a major boost in the confidence of the team and a hope for the country.
A Series Win for Bangladesh - What It Means?
Currently, Test cricket is going through its third cycle of World Test Championship. A series win will definitely improve the position of Bangladesh in the WTC 2023-25-point table.
After a series win against Pakistan, Bangladesh is currently ranked 4th in the point table with 33 points and 3 wins. They are 3 points behind New Zealand but still far away from the top place but a 0-2 series win will be a confidence booster for the team.
India is currently leading the WTC point table with 74 points and 6 wins. Bangladesh’s next challenge is against India and the team will be prepared to do anything to continue their winning momentum.

India will host Bangladesh for a 2-match Test series. The first fixture is scheduled to take place on 19th September. At home, the top betting apps in India already have odds in favour of Team India.
Indian squad has a strong record in red-ball format at home and they won’t be an easy team to overpower.
Pakistan Cricket Reaches a New Low in Test Cricket
Pakistan cricket has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. A 0-2 series loss was unexpected from the hosts as they have some of the world-class players in the team.
Their previous dip was the early exit in the T20 World Cup 2024 and now the team has hit a rock bottom in Test cricket. In the WTC point table, Pakistan now stands at 8th rank with 16 points and 2 wins.
Their chances of reaching the final fixture are very bleak and in no way the team will be able to bounce back after losing the series against Bangladesh.
When it comes to the red-ball format, Pakistan’s previous series win came against Sri Lanka in July 2023. Before losing Bangladesh, they lost a series against Australia by 3-0.
