Bangladesh recorded only its second overseas series win; the last was against the West Indies in 2009.

The tourists won the opening test by 10 wickets and required just four days in the second after the first day was washed out in Rawalpindi.

“It (the series win) means a lot ... really happy,” Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said. “Everyone chipped in in this series, it’s totally a team game. I hope this culture will go forward.”

Coming into the series, Bangladesh had lost 12 of its last 13 tests against Pakistan and drew the other in 2015 at home.

But Shanto said the team believed in itself this time.

“Before we came here we were looking to win,” Shanto said. “The way everyone did their job, really happy ... the most important thing is their work ethic.”

Bangladesh was 26-6 in the first innings but Litton Das' 138 and Mehidy Hasan Miraz's 78 allowed Pakistan only a 12-run lead.

Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana and Taskin Ahmed then dismissed Pakistan for 172 in the second innings — the first time Bangladesh fast bowlers have taken all 10 wickets in an innings — and left Bangladesh a victory target of 184 in four sessions.

The top order showed plenty of resilience to flatten Pakistan plans of a dramatic comeback on the final day, with meaningful contributions from opener Zakir Hasan (40), Shanto (38) and Mominul Haque (34). Shakib, 21 not out and Mushfiqur Rahim, 22 not out, expertly finished the chase at 185-4 in the 56th over.

Pakistan missed chances when it chose not to review when fast bowler Mohammad Ali found the edge of Zakir's bat in the third over on Tuesday after Bangladesh resumed on 42 without loss. And Salman Ali Agha couldn’t hold onto a difficult catch of Shadman Islam in the slips.

Shanto and Mominul then kept Pakistan’s pacers at bay and watchfully played out leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed, who finally got his first wicket in the match when Mominul miscued to mid-off.

The result extended Pakistan’s miserable home record in tests to 10 consecutive matches without a win in 2 1/2 years. That's happened only once before, when Pakistan lost 11 straight at home from 1969-75. Shan Masood is the first Pakistan captain to lose his first five tests.

“Extremely disappointed, especially when you start the home season,” Masood said. “The story has been a bit of the same, like, Australia (series lost 3-0 in January). We haven’t learnt our lessons.”

England come to Pakistan next for three tests next month.

“It’s never doom and gloom," Masood said. “You always keep trying, you always come back. You try and give people a chance and I think that we’re heading in the right direction.”

Verdugo's go-ahead single and acrobatic catch lift Yankees over Royals 6-5 in ALDS opener

2024-10-06 11:11 Last Updated At：11:21

NEW YORK (AP) — Alex Verdugo hit a tiebreaking single in the seventh inning and saved at least one run with a sliding catch along the left-field line, boosting the New York Yankees over the Kansas City Royals 6-5 on Saturday night in their AL Division Series opener.

New York’s Gleyber Torres and Kansas City’s MJ Melendez hit two-run homers in a back-and-forth game in which the Royals wasted leads of 1-0, 3-2 and 5-4 and the Yankees failed to hold 2-1 and 4-3 margins. It was the first postseason game with five lead changes, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

“What a game!” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.

Kansas City pitchers tied their season high with eight walks, forcing in a pair of runs in the fifth inning. The Yankees were just 1 for 11 with runners in scoring position before Verdugo lined a single off loser Michael Lorenzen.

Verdugo’s hit scored Jazz Chisholm Jr., who singled leading off and stole second on a play allowed to stand following a video review.

“I think we did have a really good argument that that should have been overturned,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said.

Boone started a slumping Verdugo in left over rookie Jasson Domínguez in a decision influenced by defense.

“I feel like I’m pretty real with myself,” Verdugo said. “As in fans booing me, fans getting on me. I understand it. I was booing myself, too.”

Verdugo entered in a 2-for-34 skid at the plate.

“I just kind of let it spiral out of control a little bit,” Verdugo said. “For me, it was just really leaning on my guys in the clubhouse. They all got my back. They all know what kind of player I am and how I played throughout my whole career and just kept telling me, `Man, don’t let this season or this little glimpse make your whole year. You can make up for a lot of things in the playoffs.'”

With the Yankees trailing 3-2, Verdugo made a sliding catch on Michael Massey’s fourth-inning fly just inside the line to strand two runners. The ball hit the heel of Verdugo’s glove and bounced off his chest before he grabbed it with his bare hand.

“Thank goodness it popped over to the left hand, so it all worked out,” he said.

Chisholm, playing third base this year for the first time after the Yankees acquired him from Miami at the July trade deadline, made three fine defensive plays, two with the help of first baseman Oswaldo Cabrera, starting because of Anthony Rizzo’s fractured fingers.

Four Yankees relievers combined to allow only an unearned run over four innings after ace Gerrit Cole came out, unhappy with his performance. Clay Holmes, dropped from his closer’s job last month, worked 1 2/3 scoreless innings for the win. Luke Weaver got four straight outs for the save in his postseason debut.

Yankees star Aaron Judge went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts, and Royals standout Bobby Witt Jr. was 0 for 5, barking at plate umpire Adam Hamari after a called third strike in the ninth.

Juan Soto went 3 for 5 and threw out Salvador Perez in the second inning trying to score from second on Melendez’s single to right. Kansas City first baseman Yuli Gurriel threw out runners at the plate on grounders in the first and fifth.

After a day off between Games 1 and 2, the series between the AL-best Yankees and wild-card Royals resumes Monday night. These teams met in four playoffs from 1976-80, with the Yankees winning the first three and getting swept in the last.

Cole allowed four runs — three earned — and seven hits in five-plus innings. Royals starter Michael Wacha gave up three runs, four hits and three walks in four-plus innings.

Tommy Pham hit a second-inning sacrifice fly, and Torres put the Yankees ahead 2-1 in the third with a 339-foot home run just over the right-field short porch.

Melendez’s two-run homer in the fourth gave Kansas City a 3-2 lead, but Royals pitchers issued four seven-pitch walks in the fifth, forcing in runs with walks by Angel Zerpa to Austin Wells and by John Schreiber to Anthony Volpe. The Yankees had not gotten a pair of bases-loaded walks in a postseason game since Bullet Joe Bush and Joe Dugan against the New York Giants’ Rosy Ryan in Game 6 of the 1923 World Series.

“They looked at a lot of pitches. We were close, but not good enough pitches to make them count,” Zerpa said through a translator.

Volpe's throwing error at shortstop set up pinch-hitter Garrett Hampson's two-run, sixth-inning single through a drawn-in infield that put the Royals ahead 5-4. Wells, in a 2-for-43 slide, tied the score in the bottom half with a two-out RBI single off Lorenzen.

UP NEXT

New York's Carlos Rodón (16-9, 3.96 ERA) starts Game 2 in the best-of-five series against the Royals' Cole Ragans (11-9, 3.14) in a matchup of left-handers.
