Historic win

Bangladesh celebrated a historic first-ever Test series win over Pakistan with a 2-0 clean sweep following a tense six-wicket victory in Rawalpindi on Tuesday. This clearly shows their hardwork and dedication. This is indeed historic.  I feel credit goes to skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto for leading his team to a historic victory. Though he is very young, he looks like a born leader. Almost everyone contributed to this series. This is for the first time I have seen Bangladesh playing like a team.

They have got great batters and bowlers in their side and they all gave their best for their team. I am impressed to see the way Litton Das batted. Mehidy Hasan Miraz was at his best with his bat and ball. Senior players like Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim also supported their team. I feel bad for Pakistani captain Shan Masood. Shan wanted to put up a good fight, but his team players disappointed him badly. Even best batter Babar Azam failed to perform this time again. I am sure Shan will return with better preparation in the future. He needs time to regroup his team. His team has the potential to be the best in the world and he will bring out the best from his team. I am very optimistic about it.
