Sajid Khan’s magnificent performance in the second Test match against Bangladesh handed Pakistan a monumental victory over their opponents and helped Pakistan achieve crucial points for the ongoing World Test Championship. The off-spinner was on song throughout the Test match and bundled out the Bangladeshi batting line-up twice in the last two days of the Test match.
Sajid took 8 wickets in the first innings as the Bangladesh team was knocked over for only 87 runs and then he returned in the second innings to pick up four crucial wickets as Pakistan wrapped up the match with just a few overs to go on the final day of the Test.
The 28-year old finished with figures of 12/128 in the Test match which is the seventh-best for a Pakistani bowler in Test cricket history. Sajid joined an elite list of players with his magnificent performance and is only the 12th bowler in Pakistan history to have taken 12 or more wickets in a Test match.
