Pakistan Cricket: Bangladesh v Pakistan Dhaka Test Day 2 - Bangladesh all out on 413 in 114.3 overs, Pakistan on stumps 179/1 deficit 234 🤞🏼

Mohammad Abbas showed why he is good in test match cricket

Statistics don't show how, when and where the bowler bowled, it was when I viewed highlights on my mobile phone because scores showed that Bangladesh bowled out for 413 in 114.3 overs, I had to look into it, and without any doubt, Abbas was the pick of the bowlers, Shaheen showed 3 wickets but the manner they were taken is useless, when you're not hitting the deck, instead bowlers like him, have a responsibility that if one bowler is bowling well, than it is better to exert pressure in the next end, but statistics don't show how much pressure was released from the other end.

At Stumps

Session by session breakup of day two

Although score looks favorable, but like my excel sheet says, I also feel Bangladesh on the top, because fresh-day's pitch is something challenging for the debutants, because yesterday too Bangladesh was steady with 4 wickets down, where during lunch session, 79 runs 15.3 overs for 3 wickets, and similarly when post-lunch drinks session, runs scored 33 runs with 14 overs, for 3 more wickets, this is how Bangladesh's morning session ended, so how could be possible, new demons on a fresh morning pitch.

Pakistan moving inside danger zone

I do not want to call myself as curser, but tomorrow's morning session is tricky and I feel that if Pakistan survives morning session, although run rate might drop, but consistency requires; but as far as this analysis concerned, according to my personal statistics, Pakistan still requires to play heavily, as you have to give worth to your stay on the wicket, because the main thing for me is the momentum, like someone rightly said; on TV pitch seems greener, but under the green belt, it is brown clay soil, so we should keep a proper research and development regarding horticulture (study of clay), because we require proper research, and based on this research, we could understand what kind of players we really required.

Keeping fingers crossed for tomorrow's morning session 🤞🏼

Refer to video below;

This video was off the first session when Bangladesh was batting, but I do completely agree with him, and based on it, I personally feel that tomorrow's morning session requires playing with cool mind, because in the last part of the video, I fear that Pakistani collapse on the card, hope I am proved wrong, because being a Pakistani I want Pakistan to perform well, but still I have to be rational, onus still lies with Bangladesh, that's why Pakistan still on the borderline of red-yellow border or like I say in interstellar language, terminator line, which is a line where Daylight meets Night-time, the thin line between is terminator zone.

This is post-Stumps Day 2 Dhaka test.

Azan's fighting innings

This is why I call stop this خلیفہ گیری that I am always right, personally I have been a victim of it, but the way Azan and Fazal showed how to rotate strike, because I have been following their ball-to-ball cricket, they were rotating the strike on regular interval, this is test match, this format requires regular rotation of strike.

I am really happy that debutants playing so well, Azan Awais nearing his debut century whereas Abdullah Fazal nearing his half century, I just wish both debutants Inshallah score their fates, because these young guns require confidence, especially the way Azan played Nahid Rana, who is coming from Winning Peshawar Zalmi their second PSL trophy, this is why I have been critical on elders polluting original skills and thoughts of younger ones, creating distortions, this is how elders play mind games in Pakistan.


This is highlight to the second day game of the Dhaka test 2026
