After this win, Bangladesh Cricket took to X and congratulated the entire team for a historic win.

Here's the tweet:

It may come as a surprise but Pakistan also have not won a Test at home since February 2021 against South Africa, according to Cricinfo.

The latest win by Bangladesh over Pakistan may give a reason to the people of the country, which saw a lot of political chaos and violence in the past couple of months.
