Bangladesh team won the series against Pakistan by winning this match today with a great win. We have seen that the first test match was achieved brilliantly by the Bangladesh team and in the second test match they won the series result with Bangladesh leading by 2-0. In today's match, Bangladesh team batsmen are batting well responsible, and they have performed well from the beginning to win due to which they won by six wickets. In today's match Pakistan team tried to equalize this series, but they did not succeed, instead they had to lose the match till the last minute to lose the series.

Bangladesh need only 15 more runs to win the second Test as they still have six wickets in hand so naturally there is no reason for Bangladesh to lose this match. Bangladesh's impressive performance in two matches against Pakistan in the ICC Test Championship is undoubtedly commendable. After that Bangladesh will tour India and play two test matches against India. Those two test matches will be tough for Bangladesh but ahead for Bangladesh will be South Africa series which will be held at Bangladesh's home ground. Although South Africa is a big team, Bangladesh will be the favorite at Bangladesh's home ground, but if they can win against South Africa, then Bangladesh can be in a good position in the ICC Test Championship.

In the first innings, the first 6 batsmen of the Bangladesh squad could not bat well, but in the second innings, almost every batsman is batting well. Since the target is very small, I don't see any possibility of defeating Bangladesh at this moment. Pakistani players managed to provide a target of only 185 runs. If the target was 250+ then the match would have been competitive.

Bangladesh lost their first innings by 58 runs. Bangladesh team lost the second wicket by 70 runs and the third wicket by 127 runs. Two experienced batsmen like Muminul and Mushfiq are batting now. Muminul Haque has already collected 30 runs. And the collection of Bangladesh team is 141 runs. Bangladesh team can win the second test match only if they can collect only 44 runs. It was a memorable series for Bangladesh. They are going to defeat a strong team like Pakistan in both Test matches.

Go Bangladesh! They are so close to creating epic history now and I hope rain doesn't stand in their way. Pakistan cricket keeps falling and falling.

Lol! Are you serious? You are one of the very few people who actually feels that Pakistan still has any chances of winning in this match. They are desperately praying for rain since that's the only thing that can stop Bangladesh from winning this match and series.

It is a matter of pride for the Bangladesh team that they are performing well with the Pakistani team in this test match, a win in two consecutive matches will be the biggest challenge for the Bangladesh team. As Pakistani team is also very experienced in this cricket game and perform successfully, but in this test match every player of Bangladesh team has performed very well from their place. 

However, if these two batsmen, Mominul Haque and Nazmul Hasan Shanto, can maintain their partnership, then the Bangladesh team will definitely be able to win over this partnership. Because Nazmul Hasan Shanto collected 33 runs and Mominul Haque collected 20 runs their partnership is very strong, only 63 a run difference can definitely be counted on these two batsmen.

Today I want to highlight an important point about the Bangladeshi players, as the pressure is much less in the second innings of today's match as there are enough wickets. That's why every player is performing well in today's match, because Bangladesh Tiger team can win the series by performing best this season. However, the playing style of these Bangladeshi players has changed a lot, now Nazmul Hasan Shanto and Mominul have formed a very good partnership. Bangladesh team can win the series only if they can collect few runs, Bangladesh team need only 63 runs to win this match then Bangladesh team will be successful in their victory.

Sometimes small and weak teams also perform well against big teams, maybe the current Bangladesh team against Pakistan proves that. Firstly winning the first Test against Pakistan was a record for Bangladesh it was Bangladesh's first Test win against Pakistan. And now the opportunity that has been created is another record i.e. to whitewash Pakistan on their own soil. Bangladesh needs only 86 runs to win. At the moment, two batsmen of Bangladesh team Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque are batting very calmly. Maybe they aim to get their team into a respectable position and then try to play with open arms.

At this stage of the game, there is still no guarantee that Bangladesh will win today's match as we have seen in the previous innings that the Pakistanis bowled brilliantly. If Pakistan's bowlers can deliver the same bowling performance in today's match, the result might be different.

Zakir, who batted well on the fourth day, returned to the dressing room at the start of the fifth day. Bangladesh team lost the first wicket for 58 runs and Zakir managed to collect 40 runs. He batted quite well. But Zakir should have batted with more patience. Had he stayed at the crease, the road to victory would have been easier for Bangladesh.

Captain Shanto and Shadman Islam are at the crease at the moment. Shadman is young but talented enough. On the other hand Bangladeshi captain Shanto is an excellent batsman. But he is not in good form. So it cannot be said for sure whether Bangladesh will get a big collection from this pair.

Bangladesh's collection is now 63 runs. The team needs 122 more runs to win. The team lost 6 wickets for just 26 runs in the first innings. If Bangladesh faces a similar batting disaster in the second innings as well, Bangladesh may not have the chance to win the match. Liton and Miraz should not be expected to protect Bangladesh every innings.

What is going on with Pakistan? Their performance was really pathetic in this series. They lost the first match, and now they are about to lose the second match as well. And it was the younger and inexperienced Bangladeshi players such as Hasan Mahmud and Nahid Rana who destroyed the Pakistani batting lineup. This is a two-match series and in case Bangladesh wins this match, then they will be whitewashing the series 2-0. And that will give them a big boost in the ICC World Test Championship 2023/25.

However, if the Bangladesh team can make a good start, then surely they have a chance to win against Pakistan in this session today. Since the Bangladesh team started well, if they do not lose any wicket in 10 overs, then they will easily win the series. And if they get off to a bad start and lose wickets, it will surely be very difficult for them to collect 143 runs, which can put them under pressure. So the batsmen of Bangladesh team have to bat responsibly and show improvement in their game, otherwise if they get frustrated then it may be difficult for them to win the match. Moreover, it is expected that Pakistan team will bowl well in today's match, Pakistan team will try their best to equalize the results of their series.

Bangladesh's chances of winning are very high. But it cannot be said that Bangladesh is not likely to be defeated. Because in the previous match also we saw that in the second innings, the Pakistan team lost all the wickets to collect only 146 runs. Moreover, this pitch cannot be called a batting friendly pitch. Bangladesh need to collect 143 more runs to win. It will not be easy for the Bangladeshi batsmen.

But the Bangladeshi batsmen are very confident in this series. Especially if Zakir can survive at the crease then Bangladesh will move towards victory quickly. He batted very aggressively yesterday. It was unimaginable for us that Bangladesh team will win the test match against Pakistan. Bangladesh played very well in this series.

Yes Bangladesh will win this test match today. Today is the last day and they have a little target ahead which I think they will chase soon.
Pakistan performance was very bad in both test matches they need more practice or you can say Pakistan should find new talents. Because these players are not doing well at this time.
Well Bangladesh started the second inning very well I think they will win easily because they made 42 runs with out any loss and now they have a target of 143 runs. And they will chase this target today.

Today is the day when the Bangladesh team will create history and win the series again the Pakistan team. Zakir Hasan is batting on 31 and he will continue with his partner Shadman Islam. Pakistan do not have their fast bowling strength but Khurram Shahzad took 6 wickets in the first innings but he is not able to make any impact in the 2nd innings.



Yesterday he bowled 3 overs and was a little expensive with a Econ. Rate of over 7. Maybe Bangladesh batsmen had a plan to play him aggressively and not let him settle down. So far this plan has worked well for Bangladesh. The morning first session will be important for both teams as Bangladesh would not want to lose 4 or 5 quick wickets and get the match out of their hands.

Bangladeshi top order played very badly in the first innings. The first 6 batsmen's total collection was only 21 runs. However, even after such a bad start, the Bangladesh team collected 262 runs in the first innings. It was incredible. Because we have never seen Bangladesh team batting so well in the past. Liton and Miraz must be thanked for this. Liton Das was able to collect 138 runs and Miraz 78 runs.

Bangladeshi bowlers bowled very well in the second innings. If the Bangladeshi fielders had not missed easy catches and fielded a bit better, Pakistan's innings might have been halted before 150. Miraz bowled well in the first innings. But the bowling of two Bangladeshi pacers Hasan Mahmud and Rana impressed me in the second innings. Hasan took 5 wickets and Raha 4 wickets. As a result, Pakistan's innings stopped at just 172 runs and Pakistan set a target of 183 runs.



Bangladesh got off to a good start. So it is expected that it will not be difficult for Bangladesh to win the match. Even then I would say the outcome of the match will depend on the first session of the day. I would say if Bangladesh don't lose any wicket in the first 10 overs then Bangladesh can win easily. But if Bangladesh lose wickets at the beginning of the day then it will be difficult for Bangladesh to collect 143 more runs.

You are absolutely right if you look at many history it can be seen that many such simple matches in Bangladesh have been lost only because of stupidity. If Bangladesh doesn't suffer a batting disaster then definitely they can win but I have fear for Bangladesh because once a batting disaster occurs then scoring 143 runs will be a tough challenge for Bangladesh.

Bangladesh has a big chance to win. Bangladesh need only 143 runs to win. But when the team is Bangladesh, I would say we should not expect too much from this team. Because we have seen many times in the past that the Bangladesh team has disappointed us. And Bangladesh lost even in an easily winnable match.

In the second innings of the first match as well, Pakistan faced a batting disaster and were given a very small target. As a result, Bangladesh won easily. In this match, Pakistan collected only 172 runs in the second innings and set a target of 185 runs. I would not call this target a very small target. However, the two Bangladeshi openers batted responsibly yesterday. Bangladesh team did not lose a single wicket despite collecting 42 runs. Especially Zakir Hasan is unbeaten with 31 runs off just 23 balls. And scoring just 143 runs will not be a tough task for Bangladesh if the batsmen bat responsibly and manage to stay at the crease. But I don't forget about the strange batting of Bangladeshi batsmen in the first innings. Bangladesh lost their 6 batsmen for just 26 runs in the first innings.

But it will depend on the decision given by the cricket board as the Bangladesh team won the first match which is a positive point for the Bangladesh team.  And in the second match Bangladesh team's run rate is much better than Pakistan's team, but to collect 42 runs, Pakistan team's wicket was much more but Bangladesh team's has not fallen so far. So Bangladesh team is far ahead if considered from any aspect. So I can definitely say that if there is a controversy between Pakistan and Bangladesh teams due to bad weather then Bangladesh will definitely win.

I think Bangladesh will win before the first 30 overs tomorrow.  If Bangladesh does not suffer a batting disaster then the opening pair will surely finish the game. But if the match is abandoned due to inclement weather, then it is a different story, but Bangladesh won the first match, so the series will be confirmed for now.

No doubt, it looks like an easy match for Bangladesh now. The opening pair has given a great start for them. Still, there could be pressure on Bangladesh if they lose some wickets quickly within the first few overs. I wasn't expecting such great comeback from Bangladesh in the first innings like that. This victory will help Bangladesh to get the 4th rank in WTC point table.

Bangladesh will win today no doubt and saddam and zakir hasan are batting beautifully. Both of them are trying their best to survive which is plus point for Bangladesh. So no wickets are likely to fall yet. But bangladeshi bowler hasan mahmud bowled very well. He took 5 big wickets with 43 runs in just 10 overs. Which is a big role to win Bangladesh. Also nahid rana got 4 wickets for 44 runs off 11 overs. All in all the match is running towards an easy win for the bowling side of bangladesh today.
