Chittagong - Arabstoday
Pakistan will begin their first Test series in Bangladesh for almost a decade in Chittagong on Friday determined to extend their 100 per cent winning record against the hosts. The tourists, who beat Sri Lanka in all formats of the game in the UAE last month, have already asserted their supremacy over Bangladesh by making a 3-0 clean sweep of the one-day series. Pakistan played their lone Test series in Bangladesh in January 2002, winning both matches in Dhaka and Chittagong by an innings under the captaincy of Waqar Younis. Pakistan have won all of their six Tests against Bangladesh since 2001, the closest match being in Multan in 2003 when they triumphed by one wicket following Inzamam-ul-Haq’s match-winning unbeaten century.
