PAK vs BAN 2024, PAK vs BAN 2nd Test Match Report, August 30 – September 03, 2024
Lunch Bangladesh 262 and 122 2 (Zakir 40, Shanto 33*, Hamza 1-34) need 63 runs to win against Pakistan 274 and 172
However, Zakir did not stay long. Mir Hamza who found a good position near the length area outside off, got the ball to come in from the wicket line over the wicket and held its line after the throw and did enough to beat Zakir outside off and take the top. stump.
Both Hamza and Ali bowled dot balls, making sure that no easy runs were given away. When Shanto finally got out off his tenth ball, it was Bangladesh’s first run after 25 balls. Hamza then again lures an outside edge from Shadman that flies to Salman Agha’s left at second slip. He made a desperate attempt to dive with one hand but failed to hold on. The third slip was going to catch the fish, but it didn’t.
Shadman failed to do much by falling eight balls later on a loose drive. Khurram Shahzad gets the ball to float up and out, and the opener drives it high and straight to Shan Masood who is bowled high.
Pakistan’s hopes of a comeback were dashed by Shanto and Mominul. The hosts had chances, scoring odd points but the ball continued to elude the players. Both Shanto and Mominul were sad on their way. They knew that time was not an issue as they had been circling the strike slowly eating away at the stone.
Shanto still took the tough route a few times like thrashing Ali at midwicket and smashing Shahzad down, but Mominul was happy to get singles. The only time Mominul showed aggression was when he swept Abrar Ahmed playing midwife four times.
Masood entered the changes, bringing Hamza back before lunch but the two remained unmoved.
