pak vs ban

<p><strong>PAK vs BAN</strong>: Pakistan will be hosting Bangladesh for a two-match <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-series/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-series/">Test series</a>. This <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/news/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/news/">series</a> will start on August 21 (Wednesday), while the second game will begin on August 30 (Friday). Shan Masood will lead the hosts, while Najmul Hossain Shanto has the rope of Bangladesh.</p>



<p>Both matches will be played at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. This series is part of the World Test Championship, so it is important for both sides. These two Asian teams face off against each other, but mainly in the white-ball formats.</p>



<p>A <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-series/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-series/">Test series</a> between the two is very limited. So, that's why every Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh is very special. In this article, we will talk about the head-to-head record between these two sides in Test cricket and some other records as well.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PAK vs BAN: Pakistan vs Bangladesh Head to Head Records in Tests</h2>



<p>The history between the two teams is very old in this format. But they face each other very limited in the longest format. The first ever PAK vs BAN test match took place in August 2001 in Multan. Since then, the test rivalry between these two Asian teams has begun. So far, they have faced 13 Tests, and Pakistan have been dominant with 12 wins, which includes six wins by a margin of an inning. One remaining game has ended in a draw, and <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ind-vs-ban-3-pacers-who-can-replace-jasprit-bumrah-in-the-test-series-against-bangladesh/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ind-vs-ban-3-pacers-who-can-replace-jasprit-bumrah-in-the-test-series-against-bangladesh/">Bangladesh</a> have not won anything so far.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PAK vs BAN: Most Runs </h2>



<p>Just like the head-to-head record, the list of most runs in the PAK vs BAN test history is also dominated by Pakistan's batters. The top four of the five batters are from Pakistan. Former captain Mohammad Hafeez is at the top of the table. He has scored 650 runs with three centuries in 7 matches. So, let's check out the top five run-scorers in PAK vs BAN tests.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PAK vs BAN: Most Wickets</h2>



<p>Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria is at the top of the list of bowlers with most wickets in PAK vs BAN test history. Two of the top three bowlers are spinners, while Bangladesh have only one bowler in the top five. Here is the list of the leading wicket-takers in this rivalry.</p>

<p><strong>PAK vs BAN 1st Test:</strong> The home season of Pakistan has begun and their first guests are their friendly competitors Bangladesh. Bangladesh is touring Pakistan for a two-test bilateral series commencing today with the first test to be played at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. In this post, you will read the streaming and broadcasting details of PAK vs BAN 1st Test.</p>

<p>The series presents Pakistan with an opportunity to regain their footing in the race to qualify for the one-off final at Lord's in 2025. After missing out on the first two WTC finals, Pakistan currently sits sixth in the nine-team WTC 2023-25 points table, having lost three of their five Test matches. Securing these two wins is crucial for Pakistan to climb the rankings and stay in contention.</p>



<p>Bangladesh, meanwhile, find themselves struggling at the eighth spot, with three losses in four matches. Najmul Hossain Shanto faces the challenge of leading a Bangladesh side under the shadow of intense political unrest back home.</p>

<p>Both teams have assembled formidable and well-balanced squads for this clash. However, Pakistan holds a slight edge, bolstered by the advantage of familiar home conditions and the support of a passionate crowd.</p>



<p>Let's take a look at the important dates and other details of the PAK vs BAN Test Series:</p>

<p><strong>PAK vs BAN Day 3:</strong> Pakistan are slightly ahead in the game after Stumps are called but Litton Das shifted the momentum towards Bangladesh as well in the last half-an-hour. Here we are with the PAK vs BAN DAY 3 highlights and Match summary.</p>

<p>What a day of cricket in Rawalpindi! A perfect test match day where bowlers were challenging right from the first ball and the batter had equally blunt responses. </p>



<p>Pakistan were way ahead when the day started and with a couple of early wickets, they were in a better position. The partnerships in the second session and the aggressive batting in the final session of the day opened up the match for Bangladesh. </p>



<p>The match is now hanging in balance but still Pakistan have a slight edge over Bangladesh as they have got five wickets and Bangladesh are still 132 runs behind Pakistan. Let's take a look at the PAK vs BAN Day 3 Highlights and scorecard:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-ban-day-3-highlights"><strong>PAK vs BAN Day 3 Highlights</strong></h2>



<p>Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam faced the challenge of surviving an hour of play yesterday, and the Bangladesh openers managed to do so without losing their wickets. They safely navigated 12 overs on the previous day and started the morning with a similarly cautious approach. </p>



<p>However, their resilience was short-lived as Naseem Shah made a significant breakthrough in just the fifth over of the morning session.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/Pak-pic-1-PCB.jpg" alt="PAK vs BAN Day 3 Highlights; Pakistan Edge Ahead, Keeping Bangladesh At The Bay" class="wp-image-146159" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Pakistan celebrating Zakir Hasan's Wicket (Image-PCB)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Skipper Shanto soon followed, finding his way back to the pavilion, leaving Bangladesh at 53 for 2. Opener Shadman Islam and Mominul Haque then built a solid partnership, adding 94 runs to the total. However, Khurram Shahzad struck again, claiming his second wicket by dismissing Mominul Haque(50).</p>



<p>Wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim held his ground at one end, but Shadman Islam lost his concentration and was bowled out by Muhammad Ali. Veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan was unable to contribute significantly, as Saim Ayub dismissed him early.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/Litton-and-Rahim.jpg" alt="PAK vs BAN Day 3 Highlights; Pakistan Edge Ahead, Keeping Bangladesh At The Bay" class="wp-image-146163" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Litton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Litton Das then entered the mix and his attacking innings gave Bangladesh a big push towards the end of the day. Das smashed <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/14247/naseem-shah">Naseem Shah</a> for 18 runs in an over towards the end of the day and reached his half-century with style. Musfiqur Rahim also struck a half-century and below are the scores at the stumps of PAK vs BAN DAY 3.</p>

It is one of the flattest pitches in Pakistan.</p>



<p>As a result, the batters from both sides have made the most of this opportunity. Batting first, Pakistan declared at 448/6 with a century each from Mohammad Rizwan (171*) and Saud Shakeel (141). Bangladesh also did well, and Mushfiqur Rahim has bagged a big score.</p>



<p>The veteran wicket-keeper batter registered his 11th test hundred. He was looking good to score his fourth <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-series/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-series/">Test </a>double century, but he was unlucky and missed a well-deserved Test double hundred by just nine runs.

<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushfiqur_Rahim" data-type="link" data-id="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushfiqur_Rahim">Mushfiqur Rahim</a>, who came out to bat at No. 5, went on to add a record 196-run stand for the seventh wicket with Mehidy Hasan Miraz.

Rahim has now the second-most Test ton for Bangladesh.</p>



<p>With this, Rahim's 191 is now the 6th highest individual score in a test, and it is the highest score by a <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/bangladesh-squad-announced-for-pakistan-tour-2024-pak-vs-ban-test-series-2024/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/bangladesh-squad-announced-for-pakistan-tour-2024-pak-vs-ban-test-series-2024/">Bangladeshi </a>batter on Pakistan's soil.

PAK vs BAN: Mushfiqur Rahim breaks multiple records with his 191-run marathon innings in 1st Test in Rawalpindi

pak-vs-ban-mushfiqur-rahim-breaks-multiple-records-with-his-191-run-marathon-innings-in-1st-test-in-rawalpindi

<p><strong>PAK vs BAN:</strong> The first match of the 2-match test series is being played in Rawalpindi between Pakistan and Bangladesh. Bangladesh came into the host nation early to prepare for their red ball series due to the unrest in their homeland. <br> <br>The track of Rawalpindi seems likely for batters, as Pakistan were put to bat first with the openers and top-order struggling. Pakistan were struggling early with 16/3 in the first innings; however, the Pakistan middle order performed exceptionally well as Saud Shakeel and <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/pakistani-cricketer-mohammad-rizwan-makes-history-by-becoming-the-fastest-wicketkeeper-to-accomplish-this-remarkable-feat/" title="Mohammad Rizwan" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">Mohammad Rizwan</a> made Bangladesh?s bowlers toil. <br> <br>Shakeel scored a stunning 141 with Rizwan left not out on an unbeaten 171, as Pakistan declared their total for 448/6 in the first inning. Bangladesh saw the first day off without losing any wicket; however, the Pakistan bowlers struck early on Day 2. Though Sadman Islam and Mominul Haque gave stability to the Bangladesh innings. <br> <br>Later, their most experienced batter and highest run-getter in red-ball cricket in the history of Bangladesh cricket, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushfiqur_Rahim">Mushfiqur Rahim</a>, scripted history with an iconic innings of 191 on Pakistani soil. Litton Das, as well as Mehidy Hasan Miraz, also added important runs for the Bangladesh team as they ended their innings on a firm 565 all-out.  </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bangladesh changes the course of the game on Day 5</h2>



<p>Pakistan trailed by 117 runs when they came into bat on Day 4 itself and again took guard of their wicket early on. However, they faced early trouble again as their openers, skipper Masood and legendary batter Babar Azam, failed again in front of the Bangladesh pacers. <br> <br>This time even Shakeel could not come to their rescue as Bangladesh?s best-ranked all-rounder, Shakib Al-Hasan, removed the batter for a duck. Rizwan kept his wicket and once again looked comfortable in his short yet subtle innings of 51 runs. </p>

<p><br>Though the rest of the Pakistani batting order, including their all-rounders and tailenders could not resist the Bangladeshi spinners, Shakib Al-Hasan and <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/mehidy-hasan-miraz-629063">Mehidy Hasan Miraz</a>.

PAK vs BAN: Bangladesh scripts history with a first-ever Test match win over Pakistan at Rawalpindi

pak-vs-ban-bangladesh-scripts-history-with-a-first-ever-test-match-win-over-pakistan-at-rawalpindi

<p><strong>PAK vs BAN</strong>: The first test of the two-match series between Pakistan and Bangladesh turned out to be an <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/updated-wtc-points-table-after-pakistans-embarrassing-defeat-versus-england-pakistan-languish-at-the-bottom-of-the-table/" title="embarrassing defeat" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">embarrassing defeat</a> for the Men in Green. Bangladesh stunned the hosts and went on to register a historic win.</p>



<p>They won the game by ten wickets and made a strong statement that they can't be written off. It has made some notable changes to the World Test Championship 2023-25 table, as well as Pakistan slipping to 8th position while Bangladesh moved to sixth place.</p>



<p>It wasn't a great start to the Test season coming up for Shan Masood and his men, as they suffered an unexpected defeat in the very first game. Despite posting a big score in the first inning, Pakistan let the game slip away from their hands.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/pak-vs-ban-bangladesh-scripts-history-with-a-first-ever-test-match-win-over-pakistan-at-rawalpindi/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/pak-vs-ban-bangladesh-scripts-history-with-a-first-ever-test-match-win-over-pakistan-at-rawalpindi/">PAK vs BAN</a>: Pakistan captain Shan Masood blames the pitch behaviour for the embarrassing defeat in the first game</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/PAK-vs-BAN-Bangladesh-beat-Pakistan-by-ten-wickets-1024x553.jpg" alt="PAK vs BAN: Blame Game Starts; Shan Masood blames poor pitch for the embarrassing defeat in Rawalpindi" class="wp-image-146275" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">PAK vs BAN</figcaption></figure>



<p>After batting first, Pakistan posted 448/6 on the board and declared their first inning. Saud Shakeel (141) and <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/pakistani-cricketer-mohammad-rizwan-makes-history-by-becoming-the-fastest-wicketkeeper-to-accomplish-this-remarkable-feat/" title="Mohammad Rizwan" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">Mohammad Rizwan</a> (171*) struck brilliant centuries. The hosts were fully in control of the game. But Bangladesh responded in grand fashion.</p>



<p>They showed the batting of high quality, which was led by veteran star <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushfiqur_Rahim" data-type="link" data-id="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushfiqur_Rahim">Mushfiqur Rahim</a>. He struck his 11th Test run but was unlucky to miss a well-deserved century by just nine runs. He scored 191 runs, and contributions from Shadman Islam (93) and Mehidy Miraz (77) helped the visitors.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/BCBtigers/status/1827654664554500527?t=uxJhmMRY1lkNuIlteg-r4Q&amp;s=19
</div></figure>



<p>They finished with a 565 all-out with a lead of 117 runs. That was enough for Bangladeshi bowlers to wrap <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/javed-miandad-fires-a-warning-to-the-indian-cricket-team-following-their-refusal-to-travel-to-pakistan-for-the-champions-trophy/" title="Pakistan for the" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">Pakistan for the</a> second time. It was a poor batting performance for the hosts, and they were bundled out for just 146 runs. After poor batting and bowling performances in the first PAK vs BAN Test, the Pakistan captain blamed the pitch.</p>



<p>In the post-match presentation, he said, "<strong>Never to make it an excuse, but the pitch didn't play the way we thought. At the end of the day we got it wrong and we will have to work away around it. You have to respect the conditions. When we play domestic cricket here it is different. Its a huge lesson for us what to expect in our own conditions."</strong></p>



<p>Pakistan went with four pacers and no specialist spinners, while for Bangladesh, Shakib Al Hasan took four and Mehidy Hasan Miraz took five wickets in the game, which made the big difference. Bangladesh have a 1-0 unassailable lead now, and the second PAK vs BAN Test will start on August 30 at the same venue.</p>

PAK vs BAN: Blame Game Starts; Shan Masood blames poor pitch for the embarrassing defeat in Rawalpindi

<p>ICC punishes Pakistan and Bangladesh with heavy punishment after the PAKISTAN vs BANGLADESH 1st Test due to the breach in the ICC Code of Conduct Article 2.22. Shakib Al Hasan was also penalized for his aggression on the field. </p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2><strong>Table of Contents</strong></h2><nav><ul><li class="">###PROTECTED_5###</li><li class="">###PROTECTED_6###</li></ul></nav></div>



<p>The first-ever test loss to Bangladesh in the history of cricket, the pain and agony in Pakistan's heart is all understandable. The ex-cricketers and cricket pundits in Pakistan are criticizing the decisions made on-field by skipper Shan Masood. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="icc-slapped-pakistan-and-bangladesh"><strong>ICC Slapped Pakistan and Bangladesh</strong></h2>



<p>If the anguish of losing the test and the bad decisions wasn't enough, the ICC have imposed heavy duties on Pakistan and Bangladesh for breach of the ICC Code of Conduct Article 2.22. </p>



<p>Ranjan Madugalle, a member of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, issued penalties after determining that Pakistan were six overs short of the required target and Bangladesh were three overs short, taking into account the allotted time allowances.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/placeholders/2025/12/post-146315-800x450-pakistan-and-bangladesh-are-slapped-with-punishmen.jpg" alt="PAK vs BAN: Bangladesh scripts history with a first-ever Test match win over Pakistan at Rawalpindi" class="wp-image-146256" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Pakistan and Bangladesh (Image: myKhel)</figcaption></figure>



<p>As a result, Pakistan have been fined 30% of their match fees and docked six points in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) standings. Bangladesh, meanwhile, have been fined 15% of their match fees and lost three WTC points for failing to maintain the required over-rate during the first Test in Rawalpindi.</p>



<p>According to <strong>Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct</strong> for Players and Player Support Personnel, which addresses minimum over-rate offenses, players are fined 5% of their match fee for each over their team falls short of the target within the allotted time.</p>



<p>Additionally, under Article 16.11.2 of the ICC World Test Championship playing conditions, teams lose one point for every over they fall short.</p>



<p>Captains Shan Masood of Pakistan and Najmul Hossain Shanto of Bangladesh admitted to the breaches and agreed to the proposed penalties, eliminating the need for formal hearings.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="shakib-al-hasan-fined-for-level-1-offence"><strong>Shakib al Hasan Fined For Level 1 Offence</strong></h2>



<p>Shakib al Hasan has been known for losing his temper on the field and here we saw it happening again. In the first test, Shakib was bowling to Rizwan and as Shakib was just about to deliver the ball, Rizwan withdrew from his stance. Meanwhile, Shakib lost his cool and threw the ball directly towards the Wicketkeeper and Batter. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/Shakib-Al-Hasan-1.jpg" alt="Pakistan and Bangladesh Are Slapped With Punishment After 1st Test; Check the Full Story, Why?" class="wp-image-146324" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Shakib al Hasan </figcaption></figure>



<p>However, there was no harm to any player or property but throwing the ball towards the player without any runout attempt is considered as an offense of Level 1. </p>



<p>As per Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct, "<strong><em>throwing a ball (or any other item of cricket equipment such as a water bottle) at or near a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other third person in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during an International Match.</em></strong>"</p>



<p>Shakib is handed a 10% fine of his match fees for this behavior. Thankfully no players and skippers are handed a match ban. The second test of the Bangladesh tour of Pakistan 2024 is set to commence on August 30.</p>

<p>The International Cricket Council on Wednesday unveiled the updated ICC Test Player Rankings; many changes have occurred in the rankings. Pakistan?s former skipper Babar Azam?s poor form in the longest format of the game has seen him drop in the rankings by six places as he has fallen from the third position to the ninth in the Test Rankings.</p>



<p>Pakistani wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan on the other hand who played a really good unbeaten inning of 171 runs in the first inning and 51 runs in the second inning against Bangladesh in the first test match has achieved his best Test Career ranking as he has entered the top 10 ranks and is currently sitting at joint 10th position.</p>



<p>Rizwan sitting at joint 10th rank means his fellow teammate Babar is ahead of him by a small margin of just six-rating points in the updated ICC Test player rankings for batters while Pakistan?s vice-captain Saud Shakeel is not too far behind as he has moved up by one spot to the 13th position, thanks to the century he scored against Bangladesh in the first test match.</p>



<p>Indian batters have also risen in the Test batting rankings <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/pakistans-head-coach-opens-up-about-babar-azam-after-fakhar-zaman-slams-pcb-on-the-decision-to-drop-babar-azam-draws-comparison-with-virat-kohli-over-major-dig-in-form/" title="with Virat Kohli" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">with Virat Kohli</a> jumping by two spots to the eighth position while Yashasvi Jaiswal is ahead of Kohli by one position at the seventh spot.</p>



<p>England?s Harry Brook who had a terrific test series against West Indies and had a good first test match against Sri Lanka has risen to the fourth position in the rankings while England?s former test skipper Joe Root continues to remain at the top of ICC Test Batting Rankings.</p>



<p>Bangladesh?s experienced wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim has also climbed in the rankings, jumping by seven positions to the 17th spot, while Sri Lankan batter Dinesh Chandimal who had a good outing with the bat against England in the first test match has risen by four places to 23rd.</p>



<p>Kamindu Mendis?s phenomenal form with the bat in the longest format of the game has seen him rise by eight ranks to the 36th spot while England?s new wicketkeeper batter Jamie Smith has entered the top 50 positions in the batting rankings as he is currently sitting at the 42nd position.</p>



<p>Talking about the Test Bowling Rankings, Indian off-spinner continues to rule at the first position with 870 rating points followed by Josh Hazlewood, Jasprit Bumrah, Pat Cummins, and Kagiso Rabada. Bumrah and Hazlewood hold the joint 2nd position with 847 rating points next to their name.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In terms of changes in the bowling rankings, Sri Lankan spinner Prabath Jayasuriya has risen by one spot to the ninth position thanks to his five-wicket haul against England in the Manchester test.</p>



<p>England fast bowler Chris Woakes has climbed by four spots to the 16th with 665 rating points next to his name while Sri Lankan fast bowler Asitha Fernando has also risen by 10 positions to the 17th.</p>



<p>The other two bowlers who have benefitted in the Test Bowling rankings are England?s Gut Atkinson (up by four spots to 42nd place) and Pakistani right-arm seam bowler Naseem Shah (up by four places to 33rd position). Both of these bowlers have achieved their career?s highest test rankings after their impressive performances with the ball in their nation?s respective test outings.</p>



<p>ICC?s Test All-Rounder Rankings on the other hand witnesses Ravindra Jadeja sitting comfortably at the top followed by fellow compatriot Ravichandran Ashwin at the second position, Bangladeshi all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan at the third spot, and England?s Joe Root at the fourth position respectively.</p>

<p><strong>PAK vs BAN 2nd Test:</strong> A humiliating loss at home in the first test against Bangladesh would have left scars on the souls of the Pakistan <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/javed-miandad-fires-a-warning-to-the-indian-cricket-team-following-their-refusal-to-travel-to-pakistan-for-the-champions-trophy/" title="Cricket Team" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">Cricket Team</a> but it is high time to make the series level and Pakistan would be fielding their best side to take on Bangladesh. This post predicts the Strongest Pakistan Playing11 for PAK vs BAN 2nd Test.</p>

<p>Pakistan were in unduly good condition even at the Stumps of DAY 3 but Musfiqur Rahim's 191-run innings proved to be the game-changer. Bangladesh owned DAY 4 and DAY 5 and it seemed Pakistani Players were startled by the unplanned actions. </p>

<p>The batting department of Pakistan was quite up to the mark if Babar Azam can a bit of form back, but the concern is bowling. We have often seen Pakistan not having a good bowling all-rounder, and then a part-time bowler comes in, giving some time to the batting team to recover. </p>



<p>Covering all those points, here is our prediction of Strongest Pakistan Playing11 for PAK vs BAN 2nd Test:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strongest-pakistan-playing-11-for-pak-vs-ban-2nd-test-prediction"><strong>Strongest Pakistan Playing11 for PAK vs BAN 2nd Test Prediction</strong></h2>



<p>Saim Ayub is a future star and he along with <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/12139/abdullah-shafique">Abdullah Shafique</a> is a pretty decent combination that Pakistan have in the squad. Now, here comes the concern; Skipper Shan Masood comes to bat at number three, which is not a bad position for him to bat but he needs to have some runs on his bat. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/07/364716-1.jpg" alt="PAK vs BAN 2nd Test" class="wp-image-116988" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Abdullah Shafique</figcaption></figure>



<p>Masood's test numbers are just unacceptable considering he is the captain of the Test team of Pakistan. Being a top-order batter, he has been bating with an average of 28 and a strike rate of 49. These stats might suit a 7th-number batter but not a top-order batter.</p>



<p>Babar Azam comes to bat next and he too needs to fire from his bat right from this match or his team will lose another one. Following him, Saud Shakeel and Md Rizwan are the best batters at numbers five and six. </p>



<p>Agha Salman hasn't shown his game till now but he is a good player of spin. This ability and the number he is given holds the perfect combination. </p>



<p>Coming to the bowling department, there are going to be some changes. In the first look of the pitch, it seemed like a lush green surface, and of course, they would chop off the grass a day before the match. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/Shaheen-Shah-Afridi-1024x681.jpg" alt="AUS vs PAK: Pakistan Playing11 Announced, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Imam ul Haq misses out | Australia vs Pakistan 3rd Test" class="wp-image-124792" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: Icon Sportswire/Getty Image</figcaption></figure>



<p>Shaheen and Naseem Shah are immovable from their spot and if the surface is left with a good green tint, Khurram Shahzad is also playing. Can't understand why Shan Masood picked Mohammad Ali in place of Abrar Ahmed or Mir Hamza. Either Abrar or Hamza have to be included in the playing 11 for the last test or it will again be a weak bowling attack for Pakistan.</p>



<p>Here is the Predicted Strongest playing 11 for PAK vs BAN 2nd Test:</p>
