[WATCH] BAN vs PAK 2026: Nahid Rana castles Mohammad Rizwan with 147 klicks nip-backer in Dhaka
Bangladesh won the first Test by 104 runs against Pakistan.
Nahid Rana produced a fiery spell with the ball and delivered one of the best dismissals of the match as Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by 104 runs in the first Test at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on May 12. The young pacer’s sensational nip-backer to dismiss Mohammad Rizwan became one of the major highlights of the contest and pushed Bangladesh closer to a memorable victory.
The dismissal came on the second ball of the 47th over during Pakistan’s second innings. Bowling at a sharp pace of 147 kmph, Nahid delivered a ball that jagged back in sharply after pitching. Rizwan attempted to leave the delivery after pressing across the crease, but the ball continued to move in and clipped the top of middle stump. The Bangladesh players erupted in celebration immediately after the wicket, while bowling coach Shaun Tait was seen smiling in appreciation of the brilliant delivery. Rizwan managed only 15 runs from 46 balls before being sent back.
