Has Bangladesh ever won a Test match against Pakistan?
Bangladesh has won just the one Test match against Pakistan, be it home or away. Pakistan will face a backlash for their loss in the Rawalpindi Test.
Bangladesh has only managed to secure a single draw and a win in 15 Test meetings against Pakistan since the turn of the century. Losing 13 games, they have one of the worst records against a single opponent, in the history of the sport.
But they will hope the win in Rawalpindi will be a catalyst for change.
