Bangladesh added another milestone to their Test legacy on May 20, 2026, wrapping up a commanding 2-0 series win over Pakistan to complete a whitewash. The result underlined how firmly the Tigers have been controlling Pakistan in recent years, and it also set off a fresh round of online mockery and criticism, with social media users flooding timelines with memes and sharp reactions.
Bangladesh complete back-to-back Test clean sweeps
The series defeat for Pakistan was Bangladesh’s second consecutive occasion of sweeping the visitors in a multi-match Test set. First, the Tigers pulled off a historic 2-0 triumph on Pakistani soil in 2024, winning both matches in Rawalpindi. Two years later, Bangladesh repeated the same outcome at home, sealing yet another 2-0 whitewash with a 78-run success in the second Test at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
With these consecutive series wins, Bangladesh became only the second team in Test history to whitewash Pakistan in successive multi-Test series where each series featured two or more matches. The earlier achievement belongs to Australia, who managed the feat between 1999 and 2009. Bangladesh have also now registered four straight Test wins over Pakistan for the first time.
Match-by-match: how the series unfolded
- Bangladesh began the campaign by overpowering Pakistan in the opening Test at Dhaka, winning by 104 runs.
- They then carried that momentum into the second Test at Sylhet, clinching the match by 78 runs to seal the 2-0 series result.
- Mushfiqur Rahim finished as the Player of the Series, contributing 253 runs across the two Tests.
Pakistan’s away struggles deepen
The loss in Sylhet further highlighted Pakistan’s worsening pattern in away Tests. By going down in that second match, Pakistan’s losing streak on foreign soil stretched to seven consecutive Test defeats, matching their worst-ever run from the period between 2018 and 2020.
Social media reacts with trolling
After the humiliating whitewash, social platforms were dominated by jokes, memes, and sarcastic posts targeting Pakistan’s poor display. Supporters pointed to repeated batting collapses, uneven bowling showings, and Pakistan’s inability to manage the spin threat posed by Bangladesh.
