"It's not whitewash, it's called Bangla Wash" - Fans hail Bangladesh for historic 2024 Test series win in Pakistan

Bangladesh completed a historic Test series win in Pakistan after winning the second match by six wickets at Rawalpindi on September 3. It was only their third away Test series win in team history.

Bangladesh had never defeated Pakistan in a single Test in 13 meetings before the series but the side showcased immense resilience to win both Tests. After conceding a massive 448 in the first innings of the opening Test, Bangladesh fought back to score 565 and eventually won by 10 wickets.

The challenge was even stiffer in the second Test as they were reduced to 26/6 in response to Pakistan's 274 in the first innings. However, Litton Das scored a brilliant 138 and was well-supported by Mehidy Hasan with 78 as the visitors posted a competitive 262.

Similar to the first Test, Bangladesh then bowled Pakistan for a sub-200 total in the third innings to set themselves a target of 185, which they chased down on the final day.

Fans on Twitter hailed Bangladesh for this historic achievement with the following reactions:

The praises continued for Bangladesh among fans with one saying:

"From never won a Test match against Pakistan to a series clean sweep – Bangladesh have created history in Rawalpindi."

"An away series wins that's too in Test cricket is unbelievable for us especially against a team like Pakistan where our expectations have been showing some fights. Everything has been coming back to Bangladesh since august 5. Thanks to Almighty," tweeted a fan.

"Thank You Bangladesh for bringing happiness to whole South Asia except Pakistan," a fan said.
