Stats: Bangladesh's breakthrough series win deepens home crisis for Pakistan

Stat highlights from Bangladesh's historic series win in Pakistan:

3 This is Bangladesh's third series win away from home, including one-off Tests, following 2-0 win in the Caribbean back in 2009 and winning the one off-Test in Harare in 2021. Overall, this is just their eighth win in an overseas Test - two each in West Indies, Zimbabwe & Pakistan, and one each in Sri Lanka & New Zealand.

9 Pakistan have now dropped a series at home to each of the nine opponents they have played, Bangladesh being the latest (Pakistan have not yet hosted Ireland or Afghanistan). Bangladesh are the only other team to lose to more number of oppositions at home - 10 (the nine oldest Full member sides as well as Afghanistan, to whom they lost a one-off Test in 2019).

Maiden series defeat at home for Pakistan

10 Pakistan have now gone 10 Tests at home without a win (6 defeats & 4 draws). It's the longest such run for a team (except Zimbabwe & Bangladesh) in home games since New Zealand's 12-Test winless streak between 1994 and 1997. Pakistan have got whitewashed twice in this period, 0-3 by England in 2022 and 0-2 by Bangladesh in this series, the only instances of Pakistan facing whitewashes at home.

185 The target of 185 chased down by Bangladesh is the third-highest target successfully hunted down by a visiting team in Pakistan (The highest is 220 by Sri Lanka at the same venue in 2000, and the second-highest is 208 by England in Lahore in 1961). It also happens to be the third-highest successful chase by Bangladesh behind 215 vs West Indies in St George's in 2009 & 191 vs Sri Lanka in Colombo PSS in 2017.

1 Bangladesh seamers took all ten Pakistan wickets in the second innings which is the first time they have done so in Tests. In all, Bangladesh seamers picked 21 wickets across the two Tests which is the joint-most for them in any series alongside 21 in two Tests in Zimbabwe in 2013. Bangladesh seamers have struck every 48.4 balls which is the best for them in a series where they sent down at least 100 overs of pace.

Most wickets in a series for Bangladesh seamers

3 Bangladesh winning the Test after being 26/6 was only the third instance of a team winning after getting reduced six or more wickets down for 26 runs or fewer in their first innings. The first instance came in Sydney in 1887 when England recovered from 21/7 to beat Australia by 13 runs. The second one came more than a hundred years since in Kolkata when Pakistan regained from 26/6 to beat India by 46 runs in Asian Test Championship in 1999.

262 by Bangladesh is the highest total for a team after losing their first six wickets for 50 runs or fewer, bettering Pakistan's 255 against England at the Oval when they recovered from 41/6. Bangladesh's last four wickets added 236 runs after being 26/6, giving a ratio of 9.08 for the runs scored by first six wickets to the runs scored by last four wickets. It's the highest such ratio in Test cricket.

26/6 The 165-run partnership for the seventh wicket between Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan is the lowest point from which a seventh-wicket pair has put together a 150-plus stand in Tests. Overall, it is only the fourth 150-plus partnership for Bangladesh for seventh wicket or lower in Tests, two of which have come in this series including the 196-run seventh-wicket stand between Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan.

3 Instances of Litton Das scoring a century after coming out to bat at 50/4 or lower. The first two times Litton did that, he made 114 after coming in at 49/4 against Pakistan in Chattogram in 2021 and then made 141 coming in at 24/5 against Sri Lanka in Mirpur in 2022. He is the first batter to achieve the feat on three instances batting #6 or lower, while the likes of Asad Shafiq, Jonny Bairstow, and Dhananjaya de Silva have done so twice each.

6/90 by Khurram Shahzad are the best figures for a Pakistan seamer in home Tests since Shoaib Akhtar's 6/50 against the same opponent in Peshawar in 2003. Shahzad dismissed five left-handers in Bangladesh's first innings - all five from around the wicket angle - to become the second Pakistan bowler to achieve the feat after Yasir Shah against New Zealand in Dubai in 2018.
