I'm guessing day 4 & 5, we will only see about 80 overs bowled total because of the rain forecast.

So Pak needs to bat for 30 overs, score 225 and hope they can get Bang out in 50 overs
:salute
Today's the last day as there's thunderstorms around with 60 and 80% chances of rain in the next 2 days.
 
In odi Afg is ahead not in test..they lost to us by 564 runs recently

Even in ODI, BD generally beat Afghans.

BD beat Afghanistan in 2015 WC, 2019 WC, and 2023 WC. They also beat the Afghans in Asia Cups more than they beat BD.

It is in T20 where Afghans are better.
 
That was a foolish move to promote a night watchman to protect another weak batsman, one wicket wasted anyway. Pakistan in big trouble now.
 
Abdullah Shafique scored only 42 runs against Bangladesh in the 2-Test match series, with innings of 2 and 37 in the First Test and 0 and 3 in the Second Test. He is overhyped, and there's nothing special about his skills.
 
Bangladesh were 26/6 but it's been their day. That's the state of terrible affairs for Pakistan.
 
Why would you send in Khurram who just toiled all day bowled so many overs and hasn't got the fitness to come out again and put bat to ball.
This is Pakistan - logic goes out of window !

Now BD go into Day 4 with not one but two wickets and their tail up even more.
 
It won't rain tmr, nor on day 5. I'll make sure rain stays away, just watch what I do.
 
Stumps-Day 3

Bangladesh continue to fight back and the match is now finely balanced - Pakistan lead by 21 with 2 days remaining.
 
Bangladesh in ascendancy, Pakistan have no clue game will be wrapped up tomorrow
 
Pakistan does not deserve to win this test or escape with a draw if it rains.

26-6 to just a 12 run lead. Turned hasan mahmud into pat cummings, Das showed rizwam how to bat with tail, Shan and saud shelled catches and Shan's onfield captaincy was atrocious beyond belief.

To top it off they cpuldnt even survive 4 overs wickwtless? And the captain is such a coward he sent a night watchman? Like why? Tuk kya banta hai? All you've done is make the tail horribly weak now
 
If your Vudu works than let us know..we have flood issue we can use some hand
Naw bro, it's the inner fan in me speaking. I want the game to continue, Ik for a fact if it does pakistan is losing. These bozos do not deserve to make it put alive with a draw.
 
So pak have opener who can't play for few overs and night watch men who can't play for 1 over
 
Imagine what would England do if Bangladesh is treating Pakistan like this, Shafique, Saud , Rizwan , Babar is a good lineup, don’t know what’s happening here.
 
That poor sod night watchman bowled 20 ov in stifling heat and get padded up and sent out, dude's feet wernt even moving....u gotta feel for him though
 
Not Bangladesh but Pakistan now should wish for rain to pour down tomorrow lol.

They're in real danger of an utterly humiliating possibility of a 2-0 sweep at home at the hands of freakin Bangladesh (no offense to BD).

If it's 1-0, they can atleast use the rain excuse and escape criticism.

This is even worse then bamgaldesh whitewashing pak in 2016
 
From 26/6 how did we manage to score 260+, I don't know if my guys showed character or Pakistan choked. With Pakistan you just can't never know

I told you and you didn't listen, Pakistan will do whatever it takes to ensure Bangladesh win
 
Pakistan cricket is finished. Players' power to blame. We didn't introduce many young players and persisted with failure like Babar, Shan, Shaheen matches after matches. Need to get rid of all these players.
As expected we will not even score 100 (including 12 runs lead) and BD will win by 8-9 wickets. Most likely they will chase 70-80 runs maximum.

An unpopular opinion: After the new government of Bangladesh was formed, it seems like the Pakistan government might be gifting this series to Bangladesh to strengthen international ties. Cricket can brainwash 170 million Bangladeshis while the majority gets distracted, allowing the government to do shady things.

Last time, under Hasina's regime, India gifted series to Bangladesh here and there. Apart from Liton and Mehedy, there isn't much talent in Bangladesh. This whole series seems fixed. :amir
 
We have a history of embarrassing defeats but losing a test series to Bangladesh by whitewash, that would take the biscuit!
 
What is there to even support with Pakistan cricket anymore?

They've literally tarnished their own history.

The introduction of Naqvi as the PC chairman was the last straw. The culminating T20 WC was a hint as to what was to come.

What a hideous time to be supporting a bunch of players that are mentally weak and fragile, have awful techniques and aren't winners to begin with.

Then you have the grouping stories going around and not one player [Shaheen's Afridi] was even punished. There's not future with these players. The quicker we realise that the better.
 
Liton & Mehidy are new VVS & Dravid now. Brought the team back from 26/6 to a winning position almost. I will not be surprised if Bang finish this game by tomorrow considering quality of Pakistan batting
 
The match is not finished yet. Anyone can win still..draw most likely will be the result if rain comes as forecasted
 
A junior Tailender was sacrificed so that Senior Tailenders like Babar and Shan dont have to feel embarrassed about being dismissed before Stumps. Thats like you throw someone else off a cliff to save your life.
 
I know but we are choke master ourselves also. But I think it takes a lot of skill to over choke Pakistan which is the better team
You need to stop underestimating yourself.

Bangladesh panicked at the start 100% but it won't happen a 2nd time, it's extremely rare that it happens again since now Bangladesh knows they only need to worry about khurram, Abrar and mir Hamza and Ali ain't gonna bother them.

Secondly liton das and mehidy are more mature, handle pressure better and just know how to take bamgaldesh over better then any pakiatani joke lot out their.

Pakistan is a crapola team now, plain and simple

I have the BD older player syndrome. We have been beaten so bad for so many years that we get scared to dream big. But the new guys are different. Specially the ones that won the U19 world cup. They are not as scared as us who are following/playing cricket since 1997

Ties between BD and Pak will strengthen regardless of cricket, now that dictator has been oust for good. And it should. So don’t come up with such nonsense.

India didn’t gift anything, you lost the series, you also lost in 2015.
 
Where are all those people who were mocking me for bashing rizwan?

This is what is wrong with Pakistan cricket. Team bhar mei jai as long as your beloved bobby and Rizzu's score their centuries.

It's a massive insult to what is suppose to be a team game.

Babar's 100 against australia in 2017, his career best 158 against England were praised like no tmr even though Pakistan badly lost those games. Rizwan is no different.

Misbah was the exact same, 2011 mohali game bhar mei jai as long as your beloved Misbah scores his 50.

Shan is no different, Scored his 50 and where is the team at now?

The way das and mehidy and heck even hasan Mahmud played shows why Bangladesh are the superior side. They all have a plan, are collectively playing together. Their all living by the sword and dying by the sword.

But you guys call yourself Pakistani fans because rizwam gets his 100? Kuda ka khoof karo, Stats this and stats that and it led to what? Seriously what was fakhar doing wrong opening in t20?

He beat australia in the team series and final and got you no 1 rank in t20? You shoved that aside for A 48 avg that costed you so many games that we can't even count?

I repeat, it is not a coincidence that anytime rizwan performs Pakistan loses. His 171 and 51 are not as great as they sound if he bundled Pakistan out by constantly exposing the tail.

I understand cricket extremely well and don't just view it from the lens of my favourite buddy getting that 50 or 100.
 
Those who are overly criticising Pak test team here. This Pak XI seems quite experienced, only Babar played over 50 test, bowling looks even less experienced. As bad as BD has been in test over the years, bd has more experienced players, more variety in bowling attack.

Sometimes you need to understand you might not be as good as you think.

You were beaten mostly because other teams were superior skill wise.

Yes you choked against India and other teams, however Nepal also choked from a won position against sa.

You need to keep in mind that bigger teams carry weight and pressure and have the skill set to cause the team to choke because their the bigger fish.

This is not one of those cases..Bangladesh isn't taking pakistan seriously at all. They are in no pressure.

Bangladesh didn't even feel pressure when they were 26/6, because they instantly understood that the onfield captaincy is poor and now that khurram is tiring, it's easy pickings

They immediately identified it. This is not bumrah or kuldeep where their hearts would be in their mouths.

I meant to say Pak XI seems, ‘inexperienced’.
 
The delusion about Abdullah Shafique being a young prodigy needs a quick death.

He is neither that young or does he have what it takes to be the saviour of PAK batting.

Apart from bashing SL, he is thoroughly mediocre even on flat decks.
 
This will be nail biter.

I expect Pakistan to set a target of around 190. BD will make it close. But this time Pak will win.

This pitch is still flat. Only new ball does something off the pitch. Once it’s older it’s easier to bat on. Pak will need 250 lead IMO.

Oh wow...I just checked his Cricinfo profile and realised that he's 24 years old on paper and younger than Shubman Gill lol.

To all those who say "There's nothing wrong with age fudging in senior cricket as there's no age cap", this is what we mean. No way any team would persist with a failure like him if he wasn't "24 year old youngsta beauty".
 
I still think Pakistan will win the match. I don't expect Bangladesh to chase anything above 130+.
 
So Pak sinking to news lows going to lose this test after having Desh 20/6
 

From 26-6, Bangladesh post 262 to concede 12 runs lead​


Ton-up Litton Das overshadowed Khurram Shahzad’s six-fer as Bangladesh left Pakistan shell-shocked with one of the greatest fightbacks to leave the second cricket Test delicately poised at the draw of stumps on the third day’s play at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

Pakistan fully exploited early moisture in the surface to reduce Bangladesh to 26 for six inside nine overs of the day, before Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz put on 165 runs for the seventh wicket to take the score to 191. Bangladesh’s tail continued to wag following Mehidy’s departure as the last three wickets added another 71 runs in just over 26 overs, before the innings folded 32 minutes before close at 262 in reply to Pakistan’s 274.

Bangladesh had earlier started the day at 10 for no wicket in two overs. When play ended, Pakistan were in a spot of bother at nine for two with Hasan Mahmud sending Abdullah Shafique (three) and nightwatchman Khurram Shahzad (zero) back in the hut. Pakistan are 21 runs ahead with eight second innings wickets in hand.

Litton overcame cramps and was the ninth batter out after scoring a gallant 138, falling to Salman Ali Agha who, two balls later, accounted for last-man Nahid Rana to finish with figures of 3.4-0-13-2. Abrar Ahmed, who was the only specialist spinner in the side and bowled his first over with Bangladesh reeling at 43 for six in 15 overs, returned with figures of 31-5-83-0.

Apart from adding 165 runs for the seventh wicket with Mehidy, who gave Khurram Shahzad his maiden five-wicket haul in third Test, Litton also put on 69 runs for the ninth wicket with No.10 batter Hasan Mahmud, who finished as the third most successful Bangladesh batter with 13 not out after occupying the crease for nearly two hours.

Litton reached his fourth Test century from 171 balls with 11 fours and two sixes, before being caught at long-on after a 228-ball knock that contained 13 fours and four sixes. In contrast, Mehidy, followed his five-fer with a 124-ball 78 with 12 fours and a six.

Trailing 0-1 in the two-Test series and scoring 274 in the first innings, Khurram had provided a dream start to Pakistan by knocking off Zakir Hasan (1), Shadman Islam (10), Najmul Hossain Shanto (4) and Shakib Al Hasan (2). Mir Hamza lent excellent support to Khurram from the other end, accounting for Mominul Haque (1) and Mushfiqur Rahim (3) to leave Bangladesh wobbling at 26 for six.

However, Pakistan had to wait for another 199 minutes before securing their seventh success, which produced another wicket of Taskin Ahmed shortly before tea. Khurram masterminded both the wickets to finish the day with impressive figures of 21-3-90-6, including first spell of 7-0-15-4.

Khurram could have potentially added another wicket to his cap, had Shan Masood held on to a straightforward catch at short-cover of Hasan Mahmud.

Nonetheless, Khurram’s six for 90 made him the first Pakistan fast bowler to take a six-fer in a home series since 2010 when Tanvir Ahmed recorded figures of six for 120 against South Africa in Abu Dhabi.

Mir Hamza also bowled his heart out, finishing with figures of 16-1-50-2.

Scores in brief (day 3 of 5)

Pakistan 274 all-out, 85.1 overs (Saim Ayub 58, Shan Masood 57, Salman Ali Agha 54, Babar Azam 31, Mohammad Rizwan 29; Mehidy Hasan Miraz 5-61, Taskin Ahmed 3-57) and 9-2

Bangladesh 262 all-out, 78.4 overs (Litton Das 138, Mehidy Hasan Miraz 78, Hasan Mahmud 13 not out; Khurram Shahzad 6-90, Salman Ali Agha 2-13, Mir Hamza 2-50)
 
I still think Pakistan will win the match. I don't expect Bangladesh to chase anything above 130+.

130 isn't that big of a score considering this Pakistani attack is quite inexperienced.

Khurram - 3 Tests
Mir Hamza - 6 Tests
Mohammad Ali - 4 Tests
Abrar - 7 Tests

130 should be chased down comfortably. Pakistan probably need to set a target of 220+.
 
Nah if bangladesh can survive first 7-8 overs of new bowling than they can win the match .

It will be very challenging; as we begin our innings, we'll be effectively four wickets down. Zakir and Shanto are walking wickets, Shakib bats like a failed T20 player who should consider retirement, and Mominul is out of form. To save this Test match, the responsibility will largely fall on Mushfiq, Sadman, Liton, and Miraz. Pakistan are cornered tigers now, and they are most dangerous in this position. We saw what they did to Bangladesh, reducing us to 26/6. I wouldn't be surprised if the cornered tigers demolish Bangladesh in the 4th innings, potentially bowling us out for under 50 runs.

Highly unlikely. We will be lucky to score around 100. Babar will fail so as Shan and Saim. Rizwan and Saud will not last long. BD batsmen will not make same mistake to gift the wickets. Musfiq, Saqib are due to good knock so as Shanto. Miraz and Liton are also consistent.
 
Strange thing of this Pakistan team The more they play and become experience the worse they become where its vise versa for other teams.
I bet if we played 3rd test we will loose by an innings.

Because the team is disunited.

They don't know how to actually play for the team and stay in their comfort zone that's why.

The bowlers don't have any plan, it's just bowl and bowl and hope for the best.

I guarantee you that 26-6 happened but Pakistan didn't do anything special. They just bowled like they normally do and today was just their wicket galore day, but afterwards it got exposed because they can only rely on luck

They didn't have any plan for das, mehidy or even hasan mahmud, they were just bowling and going through the motions.

Same qith all the batters, Every rizwan fan jumps at me for overhate but look at how das was batting with the tail and how rizwan bats qith the tail, SKY difference between these 2.

These players don't know what their doing
 
My my 26-6! BD always relying on number 8 batsman Mehidy to bail them out.

Shanto role is just to sweet talk with everyone and be specialists captain meanwhile zero contribution with bat every single game.

As for Haturu, I guess he gets to see another day.

Mehidy is the new Shakib. Contributes with both bat and ball.
 
In this important moment I recommend all players to ignore any phone calls from Misbah nor take any advice from his clueless fans

Misbah might be worth a try as a red ball coach.

Provided he's only given red ball duty, Not whoteball or chef selector roles.

Gillespie hasn't done a damn nor has Kristen
