The spinners gave Bangladesh victory in the first test. Shakib Al Hasan and Mehdi Hasan Miraj got 7 wickets on the last day. In the second test, only the hero of that script changed. Bangladesh pacers have proved themselves for a long time. A complete form of him was seen on this day. Pakistan's pacers took 8 wickets on the fourth day.

Nahid Rana and Hasan Mahmood both gave great spells. Hasan's fifer is complete with the last wicket. Nahid's wicket number is 4. Among Pakistan's batsmen, Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha both took the test. Thanks to them, Pakistan went up to 172 runs. Bangladesh has a chance to win both the second Test and the series. Target 185 runs.

On the morning of the fourth day, Pakistan captain Shan Masood came to the field as a new batsman, along with Saim Ayub who was unbeaten with 6 runs. Bangladesh picked up Pakistan's first wicket in the ninth over of the day. Saim Ayyub returned to Nazmul Hossain's great catch at mid-off while driving Taskin Ahmed. Sime added 14 more runs to the previous day's 6 runs. Pakistan's 3rd wicket falls by 50 runs.

After 6 consecutive overs of Taskin's spell, Nahid Rana got the wicket after attacking. Shan Masood wanted to cut. But the ball touched the bat and went to Liton Das behind the wicket. Fall of 4 wickets for 62 runs.

Babar Azam also returned after a while. The wicket is the Nahid runner. Sadman Islam caught at slip. Wanted to defend the ball on the fourth stump on the front foot. But he was late. That's when Nahid got his second wicket. The pace unit of the Tigers put pressure on Pakistan by picking up 5 wickets. The 6th wicket did not have to wait too long. After Shan Masood in the first over, Babar Azam in the second over, Nahid Rana sent back Saud Shakeel in the last ball of the third over.

Pakistan's wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan scored the most runs with the bat in the current series. He was the barrier between Bangladesh and victory in the first Test as well. Even today, after 6 wickets for 81 runs, that Rizwan became a wall for Pakistan again.

He could have returned with the first ball. Sadman Islam did not take an easy catch as Nahid runner. Since then, Rizwan has settled in with time at the crease. Worried the bowling lineup of Bangladesh. Salman added 36 runs with Agha before lunch.

That partnership of 55 runs was pushing Pakistan forward. After that, Hasan Mahmud struck again. Mohammad Rizwan and Mohammad Ali returned with two balls. Mohammad Rizwan out to Hasan Mahmud. Good length ball is well outside the off stump. Rizwan who scored 43 runs caught Liton while driving. Rizwan's next ball Mohammad Ali is also out. Nazmul Hossain took his catch at slip.

Nahid Rana sends Abrar Ahmed back to good length. Salman Agha tested the Bangladesh bowlers again in the last wicket. He made a pair of 27 runs with Mir Hamza in the last wicket. That's why the target in front of Bangladesh is 185.
