Bangladesh jump India on WTC27 standings after Pakistan win

Spinner Taijul Islam was the hero for Bangladesh as he collected six Pakistan wickets, which included two scalps on the final day as the visitors attempted to pull off a record run chase of 437. Shoriful Islam was the other bowler to strike on the final day as he picked up the prized wicket of Mohammad Rizwan for 94 that gave the hosts the advantage. The series triumph was Bangladesh's first at home against Pakistan and their second successive sweep over their Asian rivals after their 2-0 win on Pakistani soil in 2024.
