In a match destined for a draw on the final day, Bangladesh bundled out Pakistan for 146 in their second innings, setting themselves a target of just 30 to achieve their first-ever Test win against the hosts. This landmark win came after 14 encounters with Pakistan, where the Tigers had suffered 12 defeats and managed just one draw. This was also Bangladesh's first-ever 10-wicket win in Tests. This victory also provided Bangladesh with a significant boost in the ICC World Test Championship standings, as they leapfrogged Pakistan and South Africa to the sixth spot, tied on point percentage with Sri Lanka (40%). As a result of the loss, Pakistan slipped down to eighth place with a 30.56% point percentage. Earlier on Saturday (August 24), England moved from seventh to fourth on the WTC table after victory over Sri Lanka in the first Test at Old Trafford in Manchester. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, had dropped few spots on the standings with a 40.00 percent win-loss percentage, while England's win percentage improved their win percentage to 41.07.
