Embarrassing for Pakistan’: Harsha Bhogle after Bangladesh humiliate hosts

Noted commentator Harsha Bhogle has termed Bangladesh’s historic Test series win over hosts Pakistan as ‘Embarrassing for Pakistan’.

Pakistan were outplayed by Bangladesh 2-0 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, their first series defeat against the Asian side.

Bhogle recalled his verdict where he said that Pakistan are more dangerous in the shorter format and in the longer format, they are vulnerable.

“I remember saying some time ago that the shorter the game, the more dangerous Pakistan would be, and, almost as consequence, that the longer the game, the more vulnerable they would be,” he wrote on Twitter.

“But I didn’t expect it to be this stark. Well as Bangladesh played, this is embarrassing for Pakistan,” he added.

Bangladesh chased 185-run target on day five of the second Test with veterans Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan at the crease when history was created.

Bangladesh opener Zakir Hasan provided a blistering to the run chase by attacking Pakistan bowlers. The left-hander smoked 40 runs off 39 balls.
