LEFT-ARM spinner Abdur Rehman broke through Bangladesh's resistance before Pakistan raced against fading light to complete a seven-wicket win on the final day of the second test in Dhaka yesterday.
Set a winning score of 103, Pakistan had no choice but to try to score quickly to claim a 2-0 series win, playing most of the final two sessions on the fifth day under floodlights.
Opener Mohammad Hafeez led Pakistan's victory charge with 47 off 52 balls before his attempted slog off Shakib Al Hasan ended at long-on fielder Shahadat Hossain.
He added 63 runs with Azhar Ali for the second wicket after first innings centurion Taufiq Umar was dismissed for three when he lofted a catch to Nazimuddin.
Azhar was last man out when left-arm Elias Sunny bowled him for 34 off 43 balls with Pakistan two runs away from a win.
Misbah-ul Haq completed the win with a six as Pakistan raced to 107 runs in 20.5 overs amid fears that the umpire might stop play for bad light. Rehman revived Pakistan's hopes by ending a dogged 117-run sixth-wicket stand between Nasir Hossain and Mushfiqur Rahim to finish with career-best figures of 4-51.
