Off-spinner Sajid Khan took 8-42 - Pakistan's fourth-best figures in Test cricket - as his side beat Bangladesh by an innings and eight runs in the second Test to complete a 2-0 series win in Dhaka.
In a rain-affected match, Pakistan declared on 300-4 on day four before the impressive Sajid helped bowl the hosts out for 86 - their joint-lowest total at home.
Despite a spirited batting display in the follow-on, Bangladesh were all out for 205 late in the final session.
Having recovered from 25-4, with Shakib Al Hasan scoring 63 and Mushfiqur Rahim (48) and Liton Das (45) also contributing, Sajid took 4-86 in the second innings to complete the victory.
The 28-year-old - playing in his fourth Test - finished with match figures of 12-128.
His first innings figures are the best by a Pakistan off-spinner and are only bettered by leg-spinner Abdul Qadir (9-51 against England in Lahore in November 1987), pace bowler Sarfraz Nawaz (9-86 against Australia in Melbourne in March 1979) and leg-spinner Yasir Shah (8-41 against New Zealand in Dubai in November 2018).
Pakistan end the tour with two clean sweep series victories over Bangladesh, having won 3-0 in the Twenty20s.
