Will Pakistan chase down 202 to win the 1st Test against Bangladesh?

[MenInG]

In normal times, I would say not even a question but after what happened in the 1st innings....

So lets see...

 

[Saj]

If they don't win from here, may I suggest they don't return to Pakistan after this tour.

 

[HappyWarsFan]

The score is 196-9. Rizwan dances down the track and hits a 6, Pakistan win by 1 wicket.

(On a serious note, please don't let it come that close).

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

93 runs with 10 wickets remaining, please don't mess this up.

 

[Ummii]

Major collapse coming soon

 

[shujaatraza]

Throughout the test we have seen quite a few wickets falling in the first session. So you never know we might make it interesting for everyone.

 

[gazza619]

You never know.

You never know.

 

[sweep_shot]

It should be an easy win.

I expect a 10-wicket win or a 9-wicket win.

 

[Ami]

Get through the first 30 mins without too much damage...we'll be alright.

 

[angeldsoul]

Will win by 6 wickets fawad alam 15 not out

 

[Concerned]

If 10 batsmen can not score 10 runs each between them then they don’t deserve to win.

 

[shokz1408]

Yeah pretty comfortably, might lose few wickets early, max 4 wickets in reaching the score.

 

[AAli98]

Another 70 runs required from the openers. Then hopefully the rest of them can get the 30 or so runs that remain between them…

 

[Savak]

Need to attack and destroy Taijul. He is their only main threat. The others are easy work in Floyd Mayweather words

I reckon Pak will come more prepared against him in the next test. Let's not forget Pak have had very little training time for the tests, only 2 days of prep.

Some silly shots and unlucky dismissals but i reckon Dhaka will probably suit our batsmen even more, don't see that awkward turn coming in on those pitches.

 

[Rana]

Very hard not to get 93 runs with 10 wickets in hand against Bangladesh

 

[jattafridi]

Only Pakistan team can lose from here

Tension

 

[Sycamore]

Never forget Pakistan lost to NZ requiring 20 runs with 6 wickets in hand , Babar and Azhar Ali set.

 

[shamaan]

They should win with atleast 6 wickets in hand

 

[MenInG]

Easy win in the end!

 

[James]

Terrific chase.

4th innings run chases always seem to be rather underrated when they are fulfilled.

The fact is, so few of them are successful in Test cricket (with its trademark wearing pitches and oppressive late game conditions) that any completed effort should be respected.

 

[PakLFC]

We won it at a canter. Now lets complete the job by winning the next.

Should be doable. I can’t see Pakistan losing 20 wickets in these conditions against Bangladesh unless they play very poorly.

Bangladesh is a small fish. Would be good to win although I won't be jumping with joy or anything like that

In a way, one can’t really “win” against minnow sides. If you win then you were expected to win anyway. If you lose then it’s a humiliation beyond belief.

In that case we should not have agreed to play them.

I was speaking more in abstract terms.
