Match Facts

Najmul Hossain Shanto (Bangladesh) has recorded four scores of 100+ in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2025, including 101 last time out in the first match of this series against Pakistan; only Joe Root (5 for England) and Shubman Gill (5 for India) have logged more in that time.
Noman Ali (Pakistan) has a bowling strike rate of 33.9 in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2025, the second best of any player (min. 7 innings) in that time (Mitchell Starc – 30.1 for Australia); although, he’s taken exactly four wickets in each of his last two Test matches after recording more than five wickets in each of his six games prior in the format.
Mominul Haque (5,006) is 129 away from surpassing Tamim Iqbal (5,134) as the second all-time leading run scorer for Bangladesh in men’s Tests (Mushfiqur Rahim – 6,603); he’s scored 50+ in each of his last five Test innings, a sixth straight 50+ score in his next innings here would be the outright longest such run by any player for Bangladesh in the history of the format (also Tamim Iqbal, 5 innings from March to June in 2010).
Shan Masood has lost 11 of his 15 matches as captain of Pakistan (W4); only Misbah-ul-Haq (L19) has recorded more defeats as captain of Pakistan in the history of the format (also Inzamam-ul-Haq – L11).
Bangladesh have taken all 20 of their opposition’s wickets in each of their last three men’s Tests (W3); they will be aiming to do so in four consecutive matches for the first time in the history of the format (also 3 games from October to November in 2014).
Pakistan have scored 500+ runs in each of their last two men’s Tests away from home (L2); the last time they recorded a longer such scoring run on the road was a three-match span from May to October in 2017 (W1 L2).
Bangladesh defeated Ireland by an innings & 47 runs in their most recent men’s Test at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in November 2025; they had won only one of their four matches at the venue in the format prior to that game (L3).
Pakistan have lost their last six men’s Tests away from home, after winning six of their seven matches on the road in the format prior to that span (L1); a seventh consecutive defeat in this game would equal their longest losing run on the road in the history of the format (L7 from December 2018 to August 2020).
Bangladesh defeated Ireland 2-0 in November 2025 in their most recent men’s Test series prior to this iteration against Pakistan; they will be aiming for consecutive series victories in the format for the first time ever in their history (min. 2-game series).
Bangladesh currently lead this men’s Test series against Pakistan 1-0 going into this final match; they will be aiming for consecutive series victories against Pakistan for the first time in the history of the format, following their 2-0 triumph in August 2024.
