Litton’s fight, Taijul’s fire, Rizwan’s resistance: Sylhet thriller captured on camera

Bangladesh’s 78-run victory over Pakistan on Day 5 of the second Test at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium sealed a 2-0 series clean sweep and delivered five gripping days of momentum swings, fightbacks, heated exchanges and remarkable moments. From Litton Das’s valiant 126 that rescued the Tigers in the first innings to Taijul Islam’s five-wicket haul in the fourth innings that sealed the win, the Test had no shortage of drama. Taskin Ahmed provided crucial breakthroughs, while Shoriful Islam’s lone wicket of the match – the prized scalp of Mohammad Rizwan, whose fighting 94 nearly inspired a world-record chase – proved equally decisive. The Daily Star’s Firoz Ahmed captured the defining moments of a Test that truly had it all. Photos: Firoz Ahmed
