Bangladesh cricket team in danger in Pakistan
Pakistan vs Bangladesh Test: The situation in Bangladesh is not good at the moment. Meanwhile, the Bangladesh cricket team is on a tour of Pakistan, where a two-Test match series is to be played. The first match of the series will be played on Wednesday, 21 August. The preparation of both the teams for this is now almost in the final stage. Meanwhile, while the Bangladesh team wants to do something against Pakistan which has never happened in Test cricket till date, the Pakistani team would like to maintain its supremacy. However, Bangladesh cricket team captain Nazmul Hasan Shanto is full of confidence.
Test series will be played under the World Test Championship
When Bangladesh team will play the first test match of the two match series against Pakistan on Wednesday, its biggest challenge will be to deal with Pakistani pacers. The series is also important because it is a part of the World Test Championship. Here every win or loss has a huge impact on the table. Currently, Pakistan is at sixth position and Bangladesh is at eighth position in the WTC points table. If we talk about the test statistics of both the teams, then Bangladesh team has never been able to beat Pakistan in a test match. So far, 13 test matches have been played between these two countries. Out of these, Pakistan has won 12 matches, while one match ended in a draw. The draw match was held in 2015.
Bangladesh faces the challenge of Pakistani pacers
The biggest challenge for the Bangladesh team will be Pakistan’s fast bowlers. It is believed that the Rawalpind pitch will be fast, which can prove to be helpful for the pacers. In such a situation, Bangladesh will have to stay away from the pair of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah. About four years ago, Pakistan’s fast bowlers had spoiled Bangladesh’s mood on the same Rawalpindi ground. Then Pakistan won the Test match by an innings and 44 runs. That match is remembered for Shaheen Shah Afridi’s hat-trick.
Nazmul Hasan Shanto trusts Shakib Al Hasan
Meanwhile, Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hasan Shanto has high expectations from his senior teammate Shakib Al Hasan. Shanto said that Shakib has been playing for a long time. He knows about his role. He knows how to prepare himself. Shanto said that we have a good and balanced team and we are confident that we will be able to do something special this time. Pakistan captain Shan Masood has said that we made some mistakes, due to which we may have to lose the Melbourne and Sydney Test matches, but as a team, we are moving in the right direction. So this is something we will learn from. He said that one has to adopt a flexible attitude towards the circumstances. I think the conditions in Rawalpindi are in favor of fast bowlers and batsmen. Spin bowling has not caused much trouble here.
Pakistan returns to the Test field after nearly eight months
The Pakistan cricket team is returning to the Test cricket field after about eight months. Earlier, the Pakistan team was on a tour of Australia under the captaincy of Shan Masood, where it had to face a 3-0 defeat. This is the reason why the Pakistani team will now fall short of reaching the final of the World Test Championship. Although there are still some possibilities, but these are such equations that it does not seem that they will be fulfilled. Meanwhile, there will be a lot of eyes on the series.
