In this article, we will discuss Pak vs Ban 1st Test highlights. 

Day 5 Summary

On Day 5, Pakistan’s chase never settled into rhythm. The openers, Imam-ul-Haq and Azan Awais, struggled against early movement under fading light. 

Despite early setbacks, Pakistan found resistance through Azan Awais, who continued his strong debut form with a composed century earlier in the match. However, the second innings demanded more resilience than Pakistan could offer.

Abdullah Fazal once again stood tall with a fighting 66, showing discipline and shot selection under pressure. But once spin entered the equation, the game tilted heavily. Mehidy Hasan Miraz extracted sharp turns and controlled the middle phase, dismantling Pakistan’s core batting resistance.

The collapse was rapid. From a position of 120 for 4, Pakistan lost their remaining wickets for just 43 runs. The innings ended at 163, sealing a commanding win for the hosts and sending the Dhaka crowd into celebration.
