Bangladesh vs Pakistan prediction

Despite winning the toss and fielding, Pakistan couldn’t get the job done in their fourth inning run chase in the first test. Requiring 268 runs to win, the tourists were bundled out for 163, with fast bowler Nahid Rana recording a five-wicket haul for Bangladesh. It was the Tigers’ third straight victory over Pakistan in Test cricket, putting them in prime position to push for a series win here.

The impressive thing about Bangladesh is that they are no longer over reliant on spin. They have fast bowlers like Rana capable of doing significant damage as well and Pakistan’s batting proved as brittle as expected despite them choosing to bat last in the first test. At home, Bangladesh just appear to be a better team right now and should be backed to show that again on this occasion.
