Openers Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam needed just 6.3 overs to secure Bangladesh’s historic win.
Pakistan’s batters were largely ineffective against the Bangladeshi spinners, with Mohammad Rizwan top-scoring with 51 in the second innings.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz took 4-21 and Shakib Al Hasan secured 3-44.
Bangladesh lead the two-match series 1-0, with the final Test starting in Rawalpindi from August 30.
