Bangladesh Beats Pakistan by 104 Runs in Rain-Affected First Test

Pace bowler Nahid Rana claimed five wickets as Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by 104 runs in a rain-hit first Test that concluded on Tuesday. The match, the first Test between Bangladesh and Pakistan, featured a thrilling fifth day of batting collapses that decided the outcome after rain had disrupted play.

Nahid Rana, a pace bowler for Bangladesh, was the standout performer with his five-wicket haul that triggered Pakistan's final collapse.

Bangladesh had set a target that proved beyond Pakistan once the fifth day began with both teams trading blows in conditions that favored seam movement. The visitors lost wickets at regular intervals, with Rana's spells proving decisive in the morning and afternoon sessions before rain returned to hasten the end. The result handed Bangladesh its first-ever Test victory against Pakistan.

Nahid Rana's five-wicket performance earned him player-of-the-match honors in what became a landmark win for the home side in their inaugural meeting at this level. Rain had washed out large parts of the opening days, compressing the contest and setting up the tense fifth-day showdown.

Both teams adapted to the shortened format, producing a match defined by its fluctuating momentum and eventual Bangladesh triumph.
