Teams To Lose A Test Match After Declaring First Innings

Pakistan have lost the 1st Test of the ongoing home series against Bangladesh. 

It was Bangladesh’s maiden victory over the Asian neighbours in the longest format.

Pakistan declared their first innings at 448 and the decision was proven wrong.

This is the 17th time that a team has lost a Test match after declaring. 

Pakistan first faced a similar disappointment against England in 1961.

They lost to Australia in 2016 after producing 443 in the first innings.

England and South Africa have lost three Tests after declaring the innings.

Australia secured the unpleasant feat in 1981 against England and in 2013 against India.

The West Indies have lost two Tests following their first-innings declaration. 

It has also happened to India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
