Pakistan has strengthened its position in the Dhaka Test match against Bangladesh (BAN vs PAK 2nd Test). Off-spin bowler Sajid Khan (35/6) scored a career-best bowling performance as the visiting Pakistan team kept Bangladesh’s first innings alive on the fourth day of the second Test by taking 7 wickets for 76 runs in 26 overs.
On the fourth day i.e. on Tuesday, Pakistan captain Babar Azam also tried his hand at bowling. This was the first time in international cricket when Babar came out to bowl. Babar troubled the batsman many times with his spin bowling. However, he did not get any wicket. He was turning his balls well. It was a pleasant feeling for Babar’s fans to see their favorite bowling. However, he did not get any wicket during this period. Babar spent only one run in the bowling of an over.
The bowling video of the Pakistan captain is going viral on social media. Fans are liking this video very much and they are commenting on it. A fan uploaded the photo and wrote the caption, ‘After Babar Azam batting, bowling, fielding and captaincy, I am an expert, mere ko sab aata hai’.
Pakistan declared innings after scoring 300 runs for 4 wickets.
Coming to the match, most of the game in the first three days of the match got washed out due to rain and bad light. During this only 63.2 overs of play was possible. Pakistan declared the innings after scoring 300 for four in the second session of the fourth day. At that time it seemed that this match would be a draw, but due to Sajid’s six wickets, Bangladesh was in danger of follow-on.
Bangladesh need 25 runs to save the follow-on
The fourth day’s play was called off an hour earlier due to bad light. With just one day left to play and Bangladesh need 25 more runs to save the follow-on, the team is 224 runs behind Pakistan on first innings basis with three wickets left. Experienced Shakib Al Hasan was playing 23 runs at stumps. Taijul Islam was present with him at the crease without opening the account. Pakistan won the first match of the two-Test series by eight wickets.
