The weather forecast was available before the match. That came true on the first day of the Rawalpindi Test. The first day was washed away by rain. The two umpires announced the abandonment of the first day’s play after 1 pm Bangladesh time.
The match has now practically turned into four days. Thirty minutes of extra time may be played on the remaining days of the match to make up for the loss on the first day. If all goes well, the two captains will take the field to toss at 11 am on Saturday (30 August).
The first session went by

Mushfiq stands in front of the record
Like the first test, Mushfiqur can easily take two records with Pindi’s 22 yard bat. Mushfiqur has been Bangladesh’s number one batsman for a long time in Test cricket. Apart from being ahead in the number of runs, he also has power in the ranking.
With 5 thousand 867 runs, Mushfiq is ahead of everyone in the number of runs. He needs 133 runs to reach the milestone of 6000 runs in Tests as the first batsman of Bangladesh. Mushfiqur scored this run in 164 innings in 89 matches at an average of 39.11 and a strike rate of 48.29. Something big is ahead of him. Surviving, performing and holding records on the international stage for such a long time is difficult in the context of Bangladesh. Mushfiq is doing this difficult work with 100% dedication and concentration.
For a long time, Tamim Iqbal tops the number of runs in three formats in international cricket. Tamim’s 15 thousand 192 runs in 448 innings in 387 international matches. If you can score 34 runs, you will surpass Tamim’s run in all three formats. Mushfiqur’s run is 15 thousand 159. Hitting two milestones is nothing impossible for Mushfiqur. Another impeccable innings by Mushfiqur in Rawalpindi could take him to new heights. Cricket lovers will definitely be waiting for that.
Close to winning the series
After 23 years of waiting, Bangladesh finally beat Pakistan in a Test. After the memorable 10-wicket victory in Rawalpindi, this time in front of Bangladesh, the series win is within reach. To do that, however, Bangladesh will have to draw the second test.
