Incessant rain washed out the opening day of the second Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Rawalpindi
There is no playing Pakistan vs Bangladesh
Incessant rain prevented play, even bowling, on the first day of the second Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Rawalpindi. The umpires were tested during the day, even though the rain had not stopped, and they called it off for the day. The chances of playing were so bleak that the teams hadn’t even left their hotel.
More rain is in the forecast later in the day; it is expected to be cloudy tomorrow. Even on Thursday, the teams had to cancel practice because of the rain.
Bangladesh lead the two-match series 1-0 after registering their first Test win against Pakistan in the previous outing. Pakistan have had an all-pace attack that time but have included Legspinner Abrar Ahmed in their XI this time. For Bangladesh, Taskin Ahmed is fit and expected to replace fast bowler Nahid Rana. But we will have to wait at least until Saturday morning to play the XI.
According to the original plan, this Test was supposed to be played in Karachi but the PCB shifted it to Rawalpindi due to ongoing construction at the National Stadium.
