Bangladesh Crush Pakistan 2-0 Test Sweep as Taijul Takes 6 Wickets
A dominant finish in Sylhet has sent a clear message across international cricket, as Bangladesh completes a commanding 2-0 Test series sweep over Pakistan, sealing victory by 78 runs in the second Test after another disciplined bowling performance on the final day.
What looked like a challenging fourth-innings chase of 437 quickly turned into a battle of survival for Pakistan and even that resistance eventually crumbled under relentless pressure. The key moment came through left-arm spinner Taijul Islam, who produced a match-defining spell, finishing with six wickets for 120 runs. His control and patience on a flat pitch proved decisive, breaking crucial partnerships just when Pakistan appeared to be stabilizing.
Pakistan’s hopes were largely carried by a fighting knock from Mohammad Rizwan, who battled through a long and determined innings of 94. Alongside him, brief resistance from the middle order kept the chase alive longer than expected. But the turning point arrived early on the final day, when quick wickets shattered their momentum and exposed the lower order.

Bangladesh’s attack stayed disciplined throughout, with support coming in key moments from their pace unit and fielding pressure that never allowed Pakistan to settle. Once Rizwan was dismissed, the innings unraveled quickly and Bangladesh closed out the match with clinical efficiency.
This win carries major significance for Bangladesh cricket. It is not just a series victory, but a second consecutive 2-0 Test sweep against Pakistan, reinforcing their growing confidence in the longest format of the game. The result also highlights their improving balance, with both batters building partnerships and bowlers executing sustained pressure over long spells.
For Pakistan, the series raises difficult questions. Despite individual flashes of resistance, their inability to convert starts into match-defining partnerships once again proved costly. Their fourth-innings approach showed intent, but execution fell short when it mattered most.
As Bangladesh continues to build momentum at home and Pakistan searches for answers, this series could mark a wider shift in competitive balance in Test cricket between the two sides.
