Under grey skies at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, veteran Bangladesh cricketer Shakib Al Hasan smashed Pakistani leg-spin bowler Abrar Ahmed for a boundary that sealed his team’s six-wicket win in the second Test match and a historic first men’s Test series win over the home side.
Shakib punched the air and embraced his teammate Mushfiqur Rahim as the rest of their teammates rushed onto the ground to join in the celebrations on Tuesday afternoon. Before the series, Bangladesh had lost 12 of the 13 matches between the two sides.
