Pakistan clean sweep 2-0 Test series against Bangladesh

Posted: 21 Dec 2011 06:50 AM PST


Abdur Rehman claimed 4-51 as Pakistan posted a seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the second and final cricket Test in Dhaka on Wednesday to make a clean sweep of the series.

Pakistan, who won the first Test in Chittagong by an innings and 184 runs, achieved their 103-run victory target off just 20.5 overs in the last session of the fifth day’s play at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium.

Opener Mohammad Hafeez smashed a 52-ball 47 and Azhar Ali contributed 34, before skipper Misbah-ul-Haq finished the match with a six over long-off against Elias Sunny.

Bangladesh, trailing by 132 runs after the first innings, had been comfortably placed at 212-5 in their second innings but collapsed to 234, with left-arm spinner Rehman taking three wickets and off-spinner Saeed Ajmal two.

Rehman’s four-wicket haul was his best in 12 Tests.

Nasir Hossain (79) and skipper Mushfiqur Rahim (53) defied the Pakistani attack for more than a session, adding 117 for the sixth wicket before falling in the space of nine runs.

Rehman removed both the well-set batsmen in four overs before accounting for Shahadat Hossain (one) in the afternoon session.

Nasir, a 20-year-old playing only his fourth Test, cracked 11 fours in his maiden half-century before being bowled by Rehman. Rahim hit seven boundaries in his ninth Test half-century.

Rahim reached his half-century when he swept Rehman for a four, but soon lost his patience, stepping out to attempt a lofted shot off the spinner to be caught by Ajmal at mid-off.

Rehman got another wicket in his next over when he dismissed Shahadat, superbly caught by Younis Khan at first slip, while Ajmal bowled Sunny and had Robiul Islam stumped to complete 50 Test wickets in the year.

Nasir and Rahim had applied themselves well in the morning session to keep the Pakistani attack at bay as the hosts added 86 runs to their overnight total of 114-5 after a delayed start due to fog.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Post Match Presentation Dhaka 2011

Misbah ul Haq: It’s a team effort. Everyone contributed and it was a good all round performance and a well deserved victory. Victory is always important as it unites the team. We are still learning how to improve in Test cricket and the players are learning their roles in the team. The victories are helping their confidence. Players are responding well to me. The coaching staff, management everybody are responding well to me. Bangladesh played well in this game. The partnership between Shakib and NAaees in the first game and today the partnership between Nasir and Mushfiqur was a really difficult period for us. The England series is going to be a big one. They are the top side in the world right now. Thanks to all the people who turned out and supported us. The groundsman did very well to produce a very good wicket.

Mushfiqur Rahim: We feel good but it could have been better. Shakib had a great match. Nafees did a good job in the first innings and Nasir played well in the second. We are working on our fielding and hopefully we do much better in the future. After the thrashing in the first Test, I think we showed some real character in this game.

Younis: Full credit to all the boys. It is hard to play back-to-back series but full credit to the team. We tried to stick to our plans and it worked well. If Bangladesh stick to their players, they have a good bunch and they will improve in the future. Whenever you are playing against England it is a big series. I’m in good nick and hopefully it works for me.

Younis Khan is the Man of the Series. He is the highest run scorer in the series.

Shakib: This was a special game for me but unfortunately we lost this one. We will have to improve and we have some domestic games coming up. Hopefully the boys go out and improve themselves. We have four months before the Asia cup to do it.

Shakib al Hasan is the Man of the Match for his fantastic all round performance.
