By playing great cricket in adverse conditions, Bangladesh not only brought results on the field but also made history and brought a victory that was waiting for 23 years, 21 international matches. The sun that Bangladesh has seen in Rawalpindi after passing the stacks of defeats, the walls of failure, the waiting hours has made the heart shake and put a smile on the face.
Natural disaster with political situation. The country of 56 thousand square miles is not good! But a Test victory on Pakistani soil rippled across every square inch of the map. The joy of breaking Pakistan’s fort for the first time on Pakistani soil will be a little more. Bangladesh wants to continue this joyous journey. Want to win the next match. A spirited team defeats Pakistan in yet another ICC Test Championship encounter.
Captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto spoke about winning the series immediately after winning the first match with full confidence, ‘The next match is very important. This match is over and we enjoyed it a lot. We have to prepare for how to win the next match. We all believe that we can win the next match.’
For this, the captain said to follow the processes properly, ‘It is all about the process. How we go through the process and thinking session by session. It’s important to stay calm and think about each session.’
Bangladesh had a good start to this Test Championship match. New Zealand lost in Sylhet. After that, of course, running in backgear. New Zealand won the match in Dhaka to level the series. Then Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh in two Tests. As a result, they have to be plagued with questions about their performance in white clothes. Bangladesh has been able to give those answers in Rawalpindi, albeit a little late. Bangladesh has won 20 Test matches in 24 years. Seventh overseas.
Looking forward to maintain this streak of winning outside the country, Team Bangladesh said, ‘We cannot win many matches outside the country. I think I won this time after the win against New Zealand. When I planned the World Test Championship this year, how to win away or draw, win at home – that was the plan. By the grace of Allah, a good result has come. This win will boost the confidence among the players. in the audience. Hope will be how I can play better in the upcoming match series.’
Shantara has received good gallery support on Pakistani soil. The flag of Bangladesh flew and fell. Expatriate Bangladeshis cheered in the gallery wearing jerseys. Shanto wants the same support from them in the second Test too, ‘We are very happy when our fans come to support us. As I said before this Test, wherever we go, fans always come to support us. Thanks to them. Hopefully, they will come to support us in the next match as well.’
