Rawalpindi: Pakistan’s bats fall in the first cricket test against Bangladesh. When play was stopped on the first day, Pakistan were 158 runs for four wickets.
Mohammad Rizwan (24 off 31 balls) and Saud Shakeel (57 off 92 balls) are on the rise. Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hussain Shanto won the toss and allowed Pakistan to bat first.
In the fourth over, Hasan Mahmood took the first wicket by giving Abdullah Shafiq (two) to Sakir Hasan. Skipper Shan Masood (six) and Babar Azam (0) could not hold on. Brave Islamism took Masood and Azam to keeper Liton Das. Saud Shakeel and opener Saeem Ayyub (56 off 98 balls with one six and four) took the team to a hundred.
Ayub was brought into the hands of Hasan Mahmud Mehdi Hasan Mirza. 98 runs for the fourth wicket. Former skipper Babar Azam was out at zero and social media was flooded with trolls. When Assam returned, Pakistan were 16 for three in 8.2 overs. The dismissal of skipper Shan Masood was controversial. Shaan hit the field bouncer of Shoriful’s shot with defensive pressure. The Bengal players appealed when the ball reached the wicket keeper. Referee Richard Kettlebrough dismissed the appeal. In the review, it was clear that Shan’s bat rubbed the ball. With that, the referee was unsuccessful. The Pakistani skipper left the bowler after arguing with the umpires. Pakistan came to play in Rawalpindi with four pacers. The Bangladesh line-up included three pacers and two spinners.
