After registering their maiden win over Pakistan in the first Test, the Bangla Tigers will now look to secure their first-ever series win when they take the field once again for the second Test at Rawalpindi on Friday, August 30.
Pakistan, on the other hand, will try to rectify their mistakes from the first match to end their nine-match winless streak at home in Test cricket. Pakistan last won a Test at home against South Africa on February 4, 2021. Since then, Pakistan have played nine Tests at home, losing five, while four matches ended in a draw.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh received a huge boost when the BCB president confirmed the availability of their star all-rounder, Shakib Al Hasan. An FIR has been filed against him at home, and there was uncertainty over his availability for the second Test.
Pakistan may opt to add one more spinner to their squad for the second Test instead of a pacer.
