Bangladesh gave their nation something to smile about after securing their first win against Pakistan in Test Cricket. Their performance was admirable and deserving of a win in conditions which are often very tough for bowlers. Pakistan though will be sweating. The last three months have been awful from them going back to the T20 World Cup. Performances are missing and their bowlers too are looking far from their best. A win here could paper some cracks but the real issues are likely to start showing up from the administration end as a few more games move on.
