Pakistan Suffers Historic Test Loss to Bangladesh

Pakistan cricket team has suffered a historic 10-wicket defeat to Bangladesh in their first Test match at home, marking Bangladesh's first-ever Test win against Pakistan. This loss also sees Pakistan share an unwanted record with India, as only the second team in Test history to lose by 10 wickets after declaring their first innings. Despite declaring at a solid 448/6, Pakistan collapsed in their second innings, bowled out for 146, while Bangladesh chased down a mere 30-run target without losing a wicket. The defeat has significantly impacted Pakistan's chances of qualifying for the World Test Championship (WTC) final, requiring them to win six out of their remaining seven matches. Furthermore, it extends Pakistan's home winless streak to 1312 days, making them one of the few teams without a home Test victory in over three years. The performance has drawn criticism, with former players highlighting the team's poor strategy and selection decisions during the match.
