It is also noteworthy that Pakistan has not won any of their last 10 Tests at home, having drawn six and lost four. This is the first time since 2022-23 that Pakistan has suffered a complete whitewash at home. England was the last team to crush Pakistan in a Test series. Pakistan last won a Test match at home 1303 days ago.

Pakistan, who lost the series 3-0 in Australia, also lost the T20 and Test series against England. Although they managed to draw the Test series against New Zealand, they lost the ODI series.

Pakistan were also eliminated in the group stage of the 2023 ODI World Cup and the 2024 T20 World Cup. Meanwhile, with their victory over Pakistan, Bangladesh moved up to fourth place in the World Test Championship points table, while Pakistan are languishing at the eighth position, only above West Indies.

This is only the eighth Test win for Bangladesh abroad and their third series triumph. Bangladesh have previously won Test series against West Indies (2-0) and Zimbabwe (1-0).
