Mushfiqur Rahim's outstanding performance in the first Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi was important in Bangladesh's emphatic 10-wicket victory. 

His composed and determined innings of 191 from 341 balls not only anchored Bangladesh's first innings but also set up a commanding lead, which proved decisive in the outcome of the match

Mushfiqur Rahim Generous Contribution

As the longest-serving active Test player in the world, Mushfiqur's contribution was recognised with the 'Player of the Match' award. 

In a gesture that highlighted his character both on and off the field, Mushfiqur announced during the post-match presentation that he would donate the prize money from the award to support the flood victims in Bangladesh. 

"I want to donate this prize money to all the people who have been affected by floods back home and request everyone back home to contribute and help as much as they can." Mushfiqur Rahim said. 

Pakistan Suffer Their First Ten-Wicket Loss On Home Soil

Bangladesh's 10-wicket victory over Pakistan in Rawalpindi was sealed emphatically on the final day, as they completed a comprehensive performance with both bat and ball. 

Pakistan, started the day at 23/1 and trailed by 94 runs, faced immense pressure from the Bangladeshi bowlers. Early on, captain Shan Masood fell, setting the tone for a tough day ahead for the hosts. 

Babar Azam, despite being given a lifeline when on 0, could only manage 22 before he too was dismissed, which further increased Pakistan's troubles. 

The middle order offered little resistance as Saud Shakeel and Agha Salman fell cheaply, which left Pakistan reeling at lunch with six wickets down. 

After the break, the situation did not improve, with Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Naseem Shah failed to make a significant impact. 

Mohammad Rizwan, fighting hard with Khurram Shahzad, offered some resistance, but his dismissal for 51 by Mehidy Hasan Miraz effectively ended Pakistan's hopes.
