Pakistan scored 158 runs for the loss of four wickets in 41 overs on the first day of play.
The first match of the two-match Test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh has started in Rawalpindi today i.e. 21st August. In this match, Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bowl first. The first day of the game started late due to rain. Not only this, only 41 overs could be bowled on the first day. After this, the first day of the game was ended early due to poor light.
Let us tell you, Pakistan scored 158 runs after losing four wickets in 41 overs on the first day of the match. Pakistan did not have a good start in this match and Abdullah Shafique was out after scoring two runs. Abdullah Shafique’s wicket was taken by Hasan Mahmud. Not only this, captain Shan Masood also failed to play a big innings against Bangladesh. Shan Masood returned to the pavilion after scoring 6 runs. Shoriful Islam took Shan Masood’s wicket.
Experienced batsman Babar Azam also could not play a big innings and got out without opening his account. His wicket was also taken by Shariful Islam. Pakistan lost its first three wickets for just 16 runs. However, after this, young players Sam Ayub and Saud Shakeel made an important partnership of 98 runs for the fourth wicket. Both these players batted brilliantly and put pressure on the Bangladesh bowlers. Due to their partnership, Pakistan was able to make a comeback in the match.
Sam Ayub played a valuable innings of 56 runs in 98 balls with the help of 4 fours and 1 six in the first innings of the first Test. Sam Ayub’s wicket was taken by Hasan Mahmud. At the end of the first day’s play, Saud Shakeel is batting on 57* runs in 92 balls with the help of 5 fours while Mohammad Rizwan has scored 24* runs.
By the end of the first day’s play, Hasan Mahmud and Shoriful Islam took 2-2 wickets for Bangladesh
Talking about Bangladesh, Hasan Mahmud and Shariful Islam took 2-2 wickets from the team’s side. The second day of the first Test match is going to be very important for both the teams. While on one hand the players of the Pakistan team will look to score as many runs as possible, on the other hand Bangladesh will want to get the hosts all out as soon as possible.
Both the matches being played between these two teams will be played in Rawalpindi. The best thing for the host Pakistan is that they still have many players who can play important innings for their team.
We will come back stronger Inshallah☝️#BabarAzam𓃵 #PAKvBAN pic.twitter.com/WZUFS1kTFU

In all the white ball, top order and keeper debates, we’ve underappreciated how good Saud Shakeel has been for our test side. An average of 60 and crucial runs when Pakistan needed them the most! #PAKvBAN

@babarazam258what happened to you, what are you doing with your test career?
Perhaps you have ruined your natural style of game in tests by getting caught up with the critics. It’s so painful.😞#PAKvBAN #PakistanCricket #BabarAzam pic.twitter.com/fiTNekdTM5— Hoorain Khan (@Hoorainkha1312) August 21, 2024
Babar Azam is still waiting to score a fifty in the World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle.
How would you rate his performances in the last five major events, especially after finishing as the leading run-scorer in the T20 World Cup 2021?🤔 pic.twitter.com/LpA60T5cTK

Inform the flatterer of Saya Corp that his brother-in-law Babar Azam was dismissed for zero, while Saim managed to score fifty under pressure in his second test match. Babar follows the signals of Saya Corp, so his companions continue to criticize talents like Saim Ayub
