The second match of the two-match Test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh is being played in Rawalpindi. The Bangladesh team won the first match of this series and won the first Test match played for five days by 10 wickets. With Bangladesh's victory, Pakistan fell behind 0-1 in the series. Now there is pressure on Pakistan to level the series.
In such a situation, the Pakistan team has made two big changes in its playing 11 for the second match of the series. First Shaheen Shah Afridi was dropped from the playing 11 and now another star fast bowler has been shown the way out of the playing 11.
The bowler is out of the playing-11
In the second Test match being played against Pakistan, Bangladesh team won the toss and decided to bowl first. After this, when Pakistan's playing-11 came out, apart from Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah's name was also not included in it. Naseem Shah could not do anything special in the first match of the series. This decision taken by the Pakistan cricket team management is being considered very big. Pakistan's bowling was very poor in the first match of the series. However, he could not do anything special in batting.
Bangladesh in a strong position
The first Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh lasted for five days. The match ended in the third session on the last day, which Bangladesh won by 10 wickets. Talking about the second match, only 4 days are left now due to rain. The same pitch used in the first Test in Rawalpindi can be played on the last day as well if no major changes are made. If this happens, the match may end in a draw. That is, Bangladesh team will win the series 1-0 and Pakistan may lose the series.
