Nazmul Hossain considered the toss to be quiet important. Shant won the toss in Rawalpindi and did the important thing. It is already known that the wicket will be pace-friendly.
Opponent Pakistan’s strategy gave that indication. So the Bangladesh captain did not have to worry about winning the toss and bowling. This is the responsibility of the pace bowlers. Pakistan has formed the eleven with four pacers, but Bangladesh has come down with three. They flew Bangladesh in the first hour of the day.
Shariful Islam and Hasan Mahmud shook the Pakistan camp with the brilliance of the new ball. Three batsmen of Pakistan out for 16 runs. After that, the fight against the hosts gathered pace. But the visitors took the day with 1 more wicket in the last session. Pakistan runs 158 for 4 wickets.
Not a single ball hit the field in the first session of the day. The start of the game was delayed as the pitch was wet from the previous night’s rain. Morning and afternoon. Afternoon and afternoon. Then the fight between the two teams started at 3 o’clock.
Kookaburra ball is played in Pakistan. Pacers are formidable as long as the new ball shines. As the brightness of the ball decreases, the intensity of the attack also decreases. That’s why you have to do what you have to do as a new ball. Shariful and Hasan do the same as planned. Tested the batsmen outside the offstump. Success is matched by that. Credit must also be given to the fielders. They made the team celebrate by making difficult catches.
Hasan sent Abdullah Shafiq back in his second over. His wide fuller is caught at Galli while driving a length ball. There Zakir jumped and took the catch. After that, Shariful took the responsibility of returning Pakistan’s captain. Shan Masood caught the ball inside him behind the wicket. Bangladesh succeeded in challenging the umpire’s decision with a review. However, the decision of the review was not liked by the Pakistan captain.
Before the start of the match, the left-arm pacer said in a press conference that Babar Azam is his dream wicket. Shariful dismissed that Babar with his second ball. Babar touches the bat as he goes out to the leg side. Behind Superman Lytton jumped and gloved the catch. Pakistan’s former captain left the field empty-handed! Shariful returned Babar for the first time in the five-time encounter. Dad’s taste of the eighth call!
With the new ball, Bangladesh went ahead by keeping the Pakistan batsmen under pressure. But resistance came in the fourth wicket. Saim Ayub-Saud Shakeel added 98 runs to make Pakistan’s dressing room smile. At this time Sime took fifty. Shakil also shows great promise in attacking batting.
Bangladesh needed to break this pair to return to the match after the tea break. Hasan did the work for the team. Driving the ball outside his off stump, Saim was caught by Mehdi Hasan Miraj at third slip. The opener scored 56 runs off 98 balls. There were 4 fours and 1 six in the innings.
After that, Shakeel spent the rest of the day with Rizwan. 48 overs were scheduled to be played on a rainy day. But not more than 41 overs were played in low light in the late afternoon. Bangladesh took the day by 4 wickets. It will be seen how fast the bowlers can stop Pakistan.
