BAN vs PAK 2nd Test, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI Updates, Pitch & Weather Report
Match Preview
Bangladesh will face Pakistan in the 2nd Test on 4 December at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur. Pakistan, who were down in the first Test at one stage, came back to win by eight wickets owing to top-class bowling from Shaheen Shah Afridi. Bangladesh should be dissatisfied with themselves for failing to finish the first Test match despite being in a winning position on multiple occasions. Instead, they allowed the momentum to ebb and eventually lost the match.

Top Wicket-Keeper pick
1) Mohammad Rizwan – Due to his offensive stroke play and wicket-keeping skills, Rizwan became a fixture of Pakistan’s Test squad, bringing significant balance to the squad’s composition. His gritty yet remarkable skills will be beneficial for the upcoming match.
Matches – 18
Runs – 919
Average – 39.95
2) Liton Das – The right-handed batsman is a compact batter with excellent defensive technique and fine stroke play flare. He is a reliable pick for the upcoming match.
Matches – 26
Runs – 1402
Average – 32.60
Top 4 Batsman Picks
1) Mushfiqur Rahim – Rahim is an absolute dynamo behind the stumps, he epitomises the clichéd definition of a wicket-keeper. He’s short, nimble behind the stumps, always chuntering around, and a fantastic batsman.
Matches – 76
Runs – 4803
Average – 37.23
2) Shadman Islam – He made an impression with a respectable half-century in his maiden innings. Shadman has had a lot of opportunities in his international career thus far, but the next step will be to capitalise on them. In terms of potential, he has what it takes to be Bangladesh’s long-serving red-ball opener.
Matches – 9
Runs – 492
Average – 30.75
3) Babar Azam – He is a top-order batter with fluid batting ability and has shown flashes of remarkable stroke-making skill. He played phenomenal innings in his past few matches.
Matches – 36
Runs – 2385
Average – 42.58
4) Abid Ali – Abid has accumulated over 10,000 runs across all forms and has been a steady run-getter. He is a regular opener with a sturdy technique and agile footwork, and his style of play makes him useful in red-ball cricket as well as in ODIs, where he can anchor the innings while still scoring at a reasonable rate.
Matches – 15
Runs – 1141
Average – 49.60
Top 4 Bowler Picks
1) Mehidy Hasan – His uncanny accuracy is his greatest asset, especially on tracks that aid spinners. Mehidy Hasan, with his boyish appearance, would strive to be the lead spinner on whom Bangladesh would have to rely on the humdrum middle overs.
Matches – 28
Wickets – 115
Economy – 3.21
2) Taijul Islam – His ability to control the score but also make breakthroughs delighted the selectors, who thought his flatter trajectory would add diversity to the side’s other spin options. In Bangladesh, spin is a widespread commodity, particularly among left-arm tweakers, and as a result, competition for spots is fierce. Taijul has the potential, but with the quantity of talent he has to contend with, the margin for error is quite little.
Matches – 34
Wickets – 142
Economy – 3.09
3) Shaheen Afridi – There is no dispute about Shaheen Afridi’s frighteningly limitless potential. Afridi, like his famous namesake, is blessed with a tall gangly frame and the ability to bowl really fast. He can also strike the ball hard with his good batting skills.
Matches – 20
Wickets – 83
Economy – 3.03
4) Hasan Ali – A modern-day fast bowler who relies on variations rather than raw pace, a breed that is rarely seen in Pakistan. A silky smooth motion that aids in his cost-effective approach to the crease.
Matches – 16
Wickets – 70
Economy – 3.09
Top All-rounder Pick
1) Faheem Ashraf – Given the presence of several all-rounders in the team, Faheem Ashraf will have to work much harder to establish himself as a regular member of the playing XI. And if the youthful all-rounder continues to perform well on a continuous basis in the near future, he will undoubtedly prove to be an important member of the squad.
Matches – 12
Runs – 632
Average – 35.11
Wickets – 22
Economy – 2.95
