RAWALPINDI:

The start of the second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh, set to begin on 30 August at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, has been delayed due to rain.

The toss has not yet been possible due to rain and poor weather conditions. Next update for the match toss will be at 12:00 PM (PST)

Pakistan, having suffered a historic defeat to Bangladesh in the first Test, will be eager to level the series in Rawalpindi, but the weather could pose a significant challenge.

Following Pakistan’s historic defeat to Bangladesh in the first Test, several of the team’s strategies have come under intense scrutiny.

The decision to opt for an all-pace attack, the timing of their declaration, and a disappointing second-innings batting performance have all been questioned.

Pakistan will aim to rebound in the second Test after facing their first-ever loss to Bangladesh in the opening match of the two-Test series.

What seemed to be a match destined for a draw took a dramatic turn as Pakistan’s batting order crumbled against Bangladesh’s spinners on the final day, managing only 146 runs.

This left Bangladesh with a modest target of 30, which their openers chased down with ease, securing a historic victory over Pakistan.

Fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has been dropped from the squad with Mir Hamza being included as his replacement.

Pakistan’s twelve member squad for second Test:

Abdullah Shafique, Saim Ayub, Shan Masood (C), Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Salman Ali Agha, Khurram Shahzad, Mohammad Ali, Abrar Ahmed, Naseem Shah, Mir Hamza

Bangladesh Test squad:

Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Zakir Hasan, Shadman Islam, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Kumar Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Nayeem Hasan, Nahid Rana, Shoriful Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Taskin Ahmed, Syed Khaled Ahmed
