Match report
In the second match at Rawalpindi, Bangladeshi skipper Najmul Hasan Shanto won the toss and opted to field first.
Pakistan lost their first wicket for 0, but Saim Ayub (58) and skipper Shan Masood (57) rebuilt the innings by adding 107 runs for the second wicket. Bangladesh made a strong comeback, reducing Pakistan to 179 for 5. Agha Salman (54) tried to rescue his team, but they were eventually bundled out for 274.
In reply, Bangladesh had a nightmare start, losing six wickets for just 26 runs. However, Litton Das (138) and Mehidy Hasan Miraz (78) added 165 runs for the seventh wicket to take Bangladesh’s innings to 262 all out, allowing Pakistan a mere 12-run lead in the first innings.
Just like the first Test, Pakistan’s batting collapsed in the second innings of the second Test as well. Mohammad Rizwan (43) and Agha Salman (47) tried to rescue Pakistan with late cameos, but they were eventually all out for just 172, giving Bangladesh a small target of 185 to chase.
