What a performance from SL!!! Utter domination and a 2-0 win. Terrific result for them.

Nearly a full strength India side as well.

SL and Pakistan both losing their first 3 wickets under 20 runs today...both also made some comebacks with the middle and lower order.

In other news, the BCB has a new president and will probably have several new directors after the Awami League government's collapse earlier this month.

The Women's T20 world cup has also been moved to the UAE, though the BCB will retain hosting rights.

SL fought admirably well in Manchester. England for all their bluster, always drop a home Test to sides they should smash. England of course are quite overrated IMO...

My boy Mushfiq with a classy 191 to put Bangladesh in a safe spot. Pakistan's bowling attack is heavily overrated, especially on ZCF for some reason. Pakistan haven't had a world class attack since Amir and Asif 15 years ago IMO...

Congrats to Bangladesh.Big win. What a knock from Mushfiqur

Pakistan cricket has a lot of issues and it's good timing with them coming to Zim in November. Usually good for one win but maybe a series win is a possibility.

The 20th test win for Bangladesh. Mushy with a terrific knock of 191 eclipsing Rizwan’s 171.

Very little consistency. Same side got smashed by Sri Lanka at home…Sri Lanka who in turn got mauled by Pakistan.

Massive win this for Bangladesh. 21 years after Inzamam denied them by 1 wicket!!

Well deserved Bangladesh!

How much worse could it get for Pakistan though? They are a side on rapid decline! It's literally been a free fall!

Pakistan are a very over-rated side.

For Bangladesh any win in the WTC is of course a good thing...however, consistency is the key. This is first WTC cycle where Bangladesh have won more than 1 game, so that is a positive, especially with half of their fixtures still remaining to be played. They have India away and if they can push India to Day 5 that would be a pretty big achievement in and of itself. They should aim to win at least one Test at home vs SA and try to win one away in the West Indies to close out the 3rd cycle.

Bangladesh finally have an express bowler for Test cricket.

Nahid Rana is quick. No doubt about that.

Wheels are coming off for Pakistan here... A series white wash at home against Bangladesh?! Well, I don't know but there seems to be no end for this free fall of Pakistan cricket team.

May be reflective of where they are going as a nation.
