There was no test win against Pakistan. That dissatisfaction was quenched by winning the first Test in Rawalpindi. Nazmul Hossain's team also won the series after defeating Pakistan in the second Test at the same ground. It also ended a six-year wait for a Test series win.
Bangladesh last won a Test series against West Indies in 2018. In that series too, Bangladesh overwhelmed the Caribbean. After that, Bangladesh's best success was a two-series draw against New Zealand in 10 Test series played in six years before the victory over Pakistan.
In all, this is Bangladesh's fifth Test series win, all four of which have been drubbed by the opposition. The only series win in which the opposition was not beaten was against Zimbabwe in 2005. That was Bangladesh's first Test series win. After winning the first test in Chittagong, Bangladesh won the series by drawing the second test in Dhaka.
The history of the first Test win was written at the MA Aziz Stadium in Chittagong. And the hero of that history is Enamul Haque Jr. The left-arm spinner took 6 wickets in the second innings and bowled Zimbabwe out for 154 runs to give the team a 226-run victory. Enamul was also the best player in the second Test which was drawn at the Bangabandhu Stadium in Dhaka. He became the first bowler of Bangladesh to take 10 wickets in Test cricket with a total of 12 wickets in the match. The batsmen played a big role in saving the match by batting 142 overs in the second innings. Opener Nafees Iqbal's marathon innings of 121 runs playing 355 balls played a big role in that draw.
The host West Indies had difficulty in organizing the team due to player revolt. With Floyd Reifer as captain, the Caribbean were forced to line up the team with second-string players. Bangladesh took the opportunity very well. Tamim Iqbal's century in the second innings and Mahmudullah's debutant Mahmudullah took 5 wickets to win the first Test by 95 runs at St. Vincent's, Bangladesh tasted their first Test victory outside the country. Young Shakib Al Hasan took the lead in the second Test in place of captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, who was knocked down with a knee injury during the first Test. After losing 4 wickets for 67 runs to reach the target of 215 runs, Shakib came down to the wicket and took all the responsibility on his shoulders. The all-rounder returned to the dressing room by playing an extraordinary innings of 96 runs off 97 balls and winning the match and the series. He finished the Test with a six.
Bangladesh, who started the series as favourites, won with a bang. In the first test in Mirpur, the hosts were just a little worried. Chasing 101, Bangladesh won by 3 wickets after losing 3 wickets before scoring any runs and never looked back. Shakib made history in the second Test by winning by 162 runs in Khulna. Century and 10 wickets in the match, Shakib touched the feat of legends like Ian Botham and Imran Khan. Bangladesh won the last match of the series in Chittagong by 186 runs.
