Match Preview Pakistan versus Bangladesh
Chances for a Pakistan win because of dubious Bangladeshi
bowling
Bangladesh and Pakistan are facing each other at a time
which is equally crucial for both teams. Bangladesh having witnessed a year
filled with letdowns is standing in the ground to prove itself. Pakistan, who is
playing from home for the first time after the 2009 matches are also looking to
progress smoothly upwards as the tests go on.
Pakistan won their last match in December against Sri
Lanka with a long 263 runs. Exemplary bowling feats paired with excellent
batting helped them to secure their win. As part of their bowling strategy, the
duo Abbas and Shahid Afridi are the ones to bowl first, followed by the pace
bowler Naseem.
Bangladesh on the other hand witnessed a losing streak in
2019 where they lost all 5 of their tests. Apparently, they are not well suited
to batting legspins. And now they are up against a team of formidable pace
bowlers, which only multiplies their chances of being conquered.
Nonetheless, the Bengalis are up to the challenge. Their
winning counterpart; Tamim Iqbal has returned from a break and has already
smashed a triple-hundred off-the-record in a previous match. Even if they are
unaccompanied by Mushfiur Rahim on their tour, the Captain Mominul Haque is ready
to make a winning statement. Liton Das and Najmul Hossain Shanto are also in
the waiting to finally prove themselves.
Batting aside, the overall concern for the Bangladesh
Team is their bowling. Ebadot Hossain has bowled
inconsistently here and there while Rubel Hossain holds the worst record of the
bowling average for bowling 3000 plus balls. They are both bound to be picked
for the team. The bowling attack is left in the hands of Taijul Islam and Abu
Jayed. They are earnest to make the right move and take a win back home.
