Bangladesh are currently on a tour of Pakistan for a two-match Test series, as a part of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle. In the first Test at Rawalpindi, Bangladesh scripted history by defeating Pakistan by 10 wickets.

Despite Pakistan declaring their first innings at 448/6, the visitors mounted a total of 565 in response. Then they went on to knock Pakistan out for 146 and chased down 30 to notch historic win amidst a political crisis back home.

As Najmul Shanto & Co. let the win sink in, The Sporting News looks at Bangladesh's Test record in Pakistan.

Bangladesh had never won a Test match in Pakistan before this game. The Asian minnows have finally won a Test match away from home against Pakistan. 

The Bangla Tigers have not only won their first red ball game in Pakistan, but have also placed themselves in the driver's seat for a potential maiden series win.

Bangladesh's Test record in Pakistan

Has Bangladesh ever won a Test match against Pakistan?

Bangladesh has won just the one Test match against Pakistan, be it home or away. Pakistan will face a backlash for their loss in the Rawalpindi Test.

Bangladesh has only managed to secure a single draw and a win in 15 Test meetings against Pakistan since the turn of the century. Losing 13 games, they have one of the worst records against a single opponent, in the history of the sport. 

But they will hope the win in Rawalpindi will be a catalyst for change.
