<p>PAK vs BAN: <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/pakistan/">Pakistan</a> suffered an unexpected defeat in the first game as <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/bangladesh/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/bangladesh/">Bangladesh</a> thrashed them by ten wickets to gain a 1-0 unassailable lead in the two-match Test series. Pakistan were favourites after the first inning, but they let the moment slip away, which was enough for <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/bangladesh/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/bangladesh/">Bangladesh</a>.</p>



<p>This was a historic win for the visitors, as they have never beaten <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/pakistan/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/pakistan/">Pakistan</a> in Test cricket. These two teams will face off in the second Test starting on August 30 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. So, what do Pakistan need to do next to win a game as they have not won a single Test at home in nine attempts? In this article, we will talk about three changes that Pakistan need to make to win the second PAK vs BAN test.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PAK vs BAN: Three changes Pakistan should do in their playing XI to win the second Test</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Kamran Ghulam in for Agha Salman</h3>



<p>Agha Salman had horrible performances with bat and ball in the first PAK vs BAN clash. He scored 19 runs in two innings and gave away 145 runs in the game without a wicket. He couldn't perform as expected being an all-rounder.</p>



<p>That's where <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/pakistan/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/pakistan/">Pakistan</a> should try. Kamran Ghulam, who is also a bowling all-rounder, brings in his left-arm spin to play. He is also a handy batter down the order. That will give Pakistan a better option in their spin bowling department.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Sarfaraz Ahmed in for Mohammad Ali</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/Sarfaraz-Ahmed-PAK-vs-BAN-1024x532.jpg" alt="PAK vs BAN: 3 Changes Pakistan must do to win second Test in Rawalpindi" class="wp-image-146307" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">PAK vs BAn</figcaption></figure>



<p>Pacer Mohammad Ali was also a bowler who had a horrible time in the game. He just took two wickets in the game and scored a duck with the bat. He looked toothless on the flat pitch, and conditions might be similar in the second <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/pak-vs-ban-blame-game-starts-shan-masood-blames-poor-pitch-for-the-embarrassing-defeat-in-rawalpindi/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/pak-vs-ban-blame-game-starts-shan-masood-blames-poor-pitch-for-the-embarrassing-defeat-in-rawalpindi/">PAK vs BAN </a>game.</p>



<p>So, that's why Pakistan should try to strengthen their batting more and bring in veteran keeper Sarfaraz Ahmed, which will give them a solid base in their batting department because he can play better than Agha Salman.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Abrar Ahmed in for Khurram Shahzad&nbsp;</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/Abrar-Ahmed-PAK-vs-BAN-1-1024x532.jpg" alt="PAK vs BAN: 3 Changes Pakistan must do to win second Test in Rawalpindi" class="wp-image-146308" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">PAK vs BAN </figcaption></figure>



<p>Khurram Shahzad looked good in patches and took 2/90 in the match, but it wasn't a great performance which could earn him a place in the second <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/pak-vs-ban-blame-game-starts-shan-masood-blames-poor-pitch-for-the-embarrassing-defeat-in-rawalpindi/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/pak-vs-ban-blame-game-starts-shan-masood-blames-poor-pitch-for-the-embarrassing-defeat-in-rawalpindi/">PAK vs BAN test</a>. The pitch might be more in favour of spinner in the coming game.</p>



<p>That's why <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/pakistan/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/pakistan/">Pakistan</a> should bring back<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrar_Ahmed_(Pakistani_cricketer)" data-type="link" data-id="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrar_Ahmed_(Pakistani_cricketer)"> Abrar Ahmed</a> in the second test. He can bowl a long spell and has an excellent record in Rawalpindi. He is a wicket-taker in the middle overs, which Pakistan lacked in the first PAK vs BAN Test.</p>

<p>In the first Test match between Bangladesh and Pakistan played at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi, the visiting team Bangladesh defeated host Pakistan by ten wickets and took a 1-0 lead in the series. The last Test match of the same series will start on August 30. In this article we will provide - P<strong>AK vs BAN 2nd Test: Match Information and Details</strong></p>

<p>Pakistan declared the innings at 448 runs in the first innings. Initially, Pakistan lost three important wickets at just 16 runs, but thanks to Saud Shakeel's 141 runs in 261 balls and wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan's unbeaten 171 runs in 239 balls, Pakistan managed to reach the score of 448 runs.</p>



<p>Bangladesh took a lead of 117 runs in the first innings, in the first innings, the Bangla Tigers scored 565 runs in 167.3 overs. Thanks to Shadman Islam's 93 runs in opening batting and Mushfiqur Rahim's 191 runs in the middle order, Bangladesh managed to dominate the home team.</p>



<p>Pakistan, playing in home conditions, was expected to make a comeback in the second innings but the team failed to do so. Shan Masood and company were all out for just 146 runs in the second innings.</p>



<p>In the second innings, Bangladeshi spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz performed brilliantly for his team. He took four wickets for just 21 runs in 11.5 overs.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/pakistan-test-cricet-team-1024x576.jpg" alt="Pakistan Full Test Squad announced against Bangladesh Test Series" class="wp-image-145321" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Pakistan | Pic: Crictoday</figcaption></figure>



<p>If Pakistan wants to make a comeback in the series, their pace bowlers will have to get into form soon. Pakistan was playing with four pace bowlers in the first Test match under the captaincy of Shan Masood (Shaheen Afridi, Khurram Shahzad, Mohammad Ali and Naseem Shah).</p>

PAK vs BAN 2nd Test: Match Details, Squad, Expected Changes in Playing 11 and Live Streaming Details

<p><strong>PAK vs BAN 2nd Test:</strong> A humiliating loss at home in the first test against Bangladesh would have left scars on the souls of the Pakistan Cricket Team but it is high time to make the series level and Pakistan would be fielding their best side to take on Bangladesh. This post predicts the Strongest Pakistan Playing11 for PAK vs BAN 2nd Test.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#strongest-pakistan-playing-11-for-pak-vs-ban-2nd-test-prediction">Strongest Pakistan Playing11 for PAK vs BAN 2nd Test Prediction</a><ul><li class=""><a href="#strongest-pakistan-playing-11">Strongest Pakistan Playing11</a></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>Pakistan were in unduly good condition even at the Stumps of DAY 3 but Musfiqur Rahim's 191-run innings proved to be the game-changer. Bangladesh owned DAY 4 and DAY 5 and it seemed Pakistani Players were startled by the unplanned actions. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/PAK-vs-BAN_-Mushfiqur-Rahim-breaks-multiple-records-with-his-191-run-marathon-innings-in-1st-Test-in-Rawalpindi-1024x532.jpg" alt="PAK vs BAN: Mushfiqur Rahim breaks multiple records with his 191-run marathon innings in 1st Test in Rawalpindi" class="wp-image-146217" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">PAK vs BAN
</figcaption></figure>



<p>The batting department of Pakistan was quite up to the mark if Babar Azam can a bit of form back, but the concern is bowling. We have often seen Pakistan not having a good bowling all-rounder, and then a part-time bowler comes in, giving some time to the batting team to recover. </p>



<p>Covering all those points, here is our prediction of Strongest Pakistan Playing11 for PAK vs BAN 2nd Test:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strongest-pakistan-playing-11-for-pak-vs-ban-2nd-test-prediction"><strong>Strongest Pakistan Playing11 for PAK vs BAN 2nd Test Prediction</strong></h2>



<p>Saim Ayub is a future star and he along with <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/12139/abdullah-shafique">Abdullah Shafique</a> is a pretty decent combination that Pakistan have in the squad. Now, here comes the concern; Skipper Shan Masood comes to bat at number three, which is not a bad position for him to bat but he needs to have some runs on his bat. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/07/364716-1.jpg" alt="PAK vs BAN 2nd Test" class="wp-image-116988" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Abdullah Shafique</figcaption></figure>



<p>Masood's test numbers are just unacceptable considering he is the captain of the Test team of Pakistan. Being a top-order batter, he has been bating with an average of 28 and a strike rate of 49. These stats might suit a 7th-number batter but not a top-order batter.</p>



<p>Babar Azam comes to bat next and he too needs to fire from his bat right from this match or his team will lose another one. Following him, Saud Shakeel and Md Rizwan are the best batters at numbers five and six. </p>



<p>Agha Salman hasn't shown his game till now but he is a good player of spin. This ability and the number he is given holds the perfect combination. </p>



<p>Coming to the bowling department, there are going to be some changes. In the first look of the pitch, it seemed like a lush green surface, and of course, they would chop off the grass a day before the match. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/Shaheen-Shah-Afridi-1024x681.jpg" alt="AUS vs PAK: Pakistan Playing11 Announced, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Imam ul Haq misses out | Australia vs Pakistan 3rd Test" class="wp-image-124792" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: Icon Sportswire/Getty Image</figcaption></figure>



<p>Shaheen and Naseem Shah are immovable from their spot and if the surface is left with a good green tint, Khurram Shahzad is also playing. Can't understand why Shan Masood picked Mohammad Ali in place of Abrar Ahmed or Mir Hamza. Either Abrar or Hamza have to be included in the playing 11 for the last test or it will again be a weak bowling attack for Pakistan.</p>



<p>Here is the Predicted Strongest playing 11 for PAK vs BAN 2nd Test:</p>

Strongest Pakistan Playing11 for PAK vs BAN 2nd Test Prediction

strongest-pakistan-playing11-for-pak-vs-ban-2nd-test-prediction

<p><strong>PAK vs BAN 2nd Test:</strong> Pakistan have announced their twelve-man squad a day before the second test. The board dropped a banger as they dropped Shaheen Afridi from the side and cited it as a strategic move. </p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-ban-2nd-test-pakistan-squad">PAK vs BAN 2nd Test: Pakistan Squad</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-ban-2nd-test-pakistan-12-men-squad">PAK vs BAN 2nd Test: Pakistan 12-men Squad</a></li><li class=""><a href="#what-jason-gillespie-said">What Jason Gillespie Said?</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>As we discussed earlier, batting was not a concern for Pakistan in the first test. Their major concern was bowling as they lost a match from a very dominating position at the stumps of DAY 3. It was their bowling that cost them the first-ever test loss against Bangladesh.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/Bangladesh-vs-Pakistan.jpg" alt="PAK vs BAN: Bangladesh scripts history with a first-ever Test match win over Pakistan at Rawalpindi" class="wp-image-146256" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Bangladesh script history with maiden test win over Pakistan (Image: myKhel)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Following that, Pakistan have shown signs of being confident for the second test and announced their twelve-men squad for the PAK vs BAN second test before in the pre-match conference. </p>



<p>They were playing with their best batting combination possible from the squad they have for the series but a spinner to the unit could have been game-changing for them. They have made the correction now and added two spinners to the twelve-men playing squad. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-ban-2nd-test-pakistan-squad"><strong>PAK vs BAN 2nd Test: Pakistan Squad</strong></h2>



<p><em>Abdullah Shafique, Saim Ayub, Shan Masood(c), Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan(w), Agha Salman, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Khurram Shahzad, Mohammad Ali, Mir Hamza, Kamran Ghulam, Abrar Ahmed, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Mohammad Huraira, Aamer Jamal</em></p>



<p>The skipper and management have not touched the TOP 7 of the playing 11 from the first test which was expected. Now the BIG news is that SHAHEEN SHAH Afridi has been dropped from the second test. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/Abrar-Ahmed-PAK-vs-BAN-1-1024x532.jpg" alt="PAK vs BAN: 3 Changes Pakistan must do to win second Test in Rawalpindi" class="wp-image-146308" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">PAK vs BAN </figcaption></figure>



<p>Shaheen bowled 32 overs in the first test and got two wickets leaking at a rate of just less than 3. This wasn't a poor performance but the coach Jason <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/jason-gillespie-5392">Gillespie</a> cited it as a strategic move. The two spinners Abrar Ahmed and Mir Hamza have been added to the 12-membered squad. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-jason-gillespie-said"><strong>What Jason Gillespie Said?</strong></h2>



<p><em>"Shaheen will sit out of this game. I had a good conversation with him, and he fully understands and appreciates the reasoning behind this decision. We're looking for the best combination for this game, and this is our direction."</em></p>



<p><em>"As I mentioned, we will assess the conditions in the morning and decide on the exact makeup of our bowling attack. Shaheen has received some feedback, and he?s had an interesting couple of weeks?he?s a new father, and we're seeing an opportunity to allow him to spend time with his family as well."</em></p>



<p><em>"He?s working on a few aspects of his bowling to ensure he's as fit as possible. He?s been collaborating well with Azhar Mahmood, which has been fantastic. We certainly want to see Shaheen at his best because we have a lot of cricket ahead in all formats, and he?s going to play a big role in that."</em></p>



<p><em>"However, right now, we feel that we have all our bases covered for this particular game. But, make no mistake, Shaheen is a quality player and will play a significant role in the next 6-7 months."</em></p>

PAK vs BAN: Shaheen Shah LEFT OUT As Pakistan Announced Playing11 for 2nd Test

pak-vs-ban-shaheen-shah-left-out-as-pakistan-announced-playing11-for-2nd-test

<p><strong>PAK vs BAN 2nd Test:</strong> Babar Azam, arguably the best batter of the Pakistan Cricket team, has again failed to meet the expectations of the team, fans, and probably even himself. In the ongoing PAK vs BAN 2nd Test, the former skipper Babar Azam got out after getting a good start and this is a real disappointment for the team and fans. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/PAK-vs-BAN-ICC-1024x616.jpg" alt="Pakistan and Bangladesh Are Slapped With Punishment After 1st Test; Check the Full Story, Why?" class="wp-image-146325" /></figure>



<p>In the first Test, the former skipper got a duck in the first innings and scored 22 runs in the second innings. The fans were expecting some big innings from the Pakistani king but he could just manage to score 31 runs in the second test of the series.</p>



<p>He was caught in front of stumps by Shakib al Hasan and walked to the pavilion in distress. Not only in this series but from the last 15 innings, Babar hasn't scored a single half-century. His last 15 innings' scores are: 31, 22? 0, 23, 26, 41, 1, 14, 21, 39, 24, 13? 27? 24? 14 (The latest being in the first).</p>

</div></figure>



<p>As we mentioned in our pitch report, there was plenty of swing and assistance for pacers at the start. Taskin and Hasan Mahmud made good use of it and Pakistan lost their first opener in the very first over. Shan and Saim stitched a 100+ runs partnership for the second wicket. Both those got knocked out back to back. Babar, Saud and Rizwan were the only hope for Pakistan then. Both Babar and Saud got good starts but failed to capitalize on it. </p>



<p>Both together added 53 runs and then the in-form Rizwan got his bat flowing. He smacked a half-century. Somehow, Pakistan managed to reach 274 just before the Stumps. </p>



<p>Bangladesh batted two overs in the second day and they are going to have a big day tomorrow. </p>

Babar Failed Again! The Poor Run Of Babar Azam Continues Leaving Pakistan Critical | PAK vs BAN 2nd Test

<p><strong>PAK vs BAN 2nd Test:</strong> When it comes to delivering under pressure, Litton Das never disappoints! Despite Pakistan's fierce early attack, Bangladesh remains firmly in the game, thanks to their former skipper and star batsman, Litton Das, who once again proved his mettle.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2><strong>Table of Contents</strong></h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-ban-2nd-test-day-3-highlights">PAK vs BAN 2nd Test Day 3 Highlights</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-ban-2nd-test-scorecard">PAK vs BAN 2nd Test: Scorecard</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>This knock from him is going to be his most memorable one. This isn't his highest score in test cricket but he will rank this knock as his best. This was an innings that may save a game for Bangladesh and what else you ask a veteran player better than this?</p>



<p>Taking nothing away from <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/11081/mehidy-hasan-miraz">Mehidy Hasan Miraz</a> as he was equally good with DAS. They both took Bangladesh out of the daunting well. The match is at the level now and Pakistan would surely be the melancholy side at dusk.</p>



<p>Let's take a look at the match summary of PAK v BAN 2nd Test Day 2:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-ban-2nd-test-day-3-highlights"><strong>PAK vs BAN 2nd Test Day 3 Highlights</strong></h2>



<p>Bangladesh started with 10 runs (the overnight score) and just after adding up 4 runs to it, they lost their first wicket in the form of Zakir Hasan. Khurram Shahzad had a big role today in the absence of Shaheen and Naseem and he matched the exact size of their shoes.</p>



<p>He picked up four wickets within just 16 balls and he got incredible support from Mir Hamza and all of a sudden, Bangladesh were SIX WICKETS DOWN in the first 11 overs for just 26 runs on the board. The TOP six include- Zakir Hasan, Shadman Islam, Shanto, Mominul, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Shakib.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/Khurram.jpg" alt="PAK vs BAN 2nd Test Day 3 Highlights; Litton's Heroic Century Lifts Bangladesh Against Pakistan's Early Blitz" class="wp-image-146511" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Khurram Shahzad Ran Through the Bangladeshi Top Order(Associate Press)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan were the two batters on the crease and this was the last batting pair of Bangladesh. Pakistan were very tidy with their lines and discipline but the two batters survived the first session. </p>



<p>Mehidy was taking on the bad balls while Litton was comfortably taking his time and setting his foot for a big innings. In an eventual turn of events, Mehidy was caught and bowled by the young sensation Khurram Shahzad at his individual 78(124). This was Khurram's fifth wicket and he marked his first-ever test fifer at home. </p>

<p>Litton Das didn't let his weapons go down but started to be cautious about playing with a lower-end batter. He smashed his century and continued good form of cricket with <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/13226/hasan-mahmud">Hasan Mahmud</a>. Bangladesh, who were once reduced to 6 down for 26 scored 262 runs on the back of Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan.</p>



<p>Agha Salman was the one who finally got the breakthrough and he got the big fish Litton Das at 138(228). Bangladesh were bowled out for 262 runs and Pakistan were only left with a first-innings lead of 12 runs. </p>



<p>Pakistan had 4 overs to bat in the evening and Bangladesh bowlers were eyeing for this moment. Bangladesh have successfully removed two batters of Pakistan in the last 4 overs and Pakistan are in big trouble now.</p>

PAK vs BAN 2nd Test Day 3; Litton's Heroic Century Lifts Bangladesh Against Pakistan's Early Blitz

pak-vs-ban-2nd-test-day-3-highlights-littons-heroic-century-lifts-bangladesh-against-pakistans-early-blitz

<p><strong>PAK vs BAN 2nd Test:</strong> The Bangladeshi Tigers defied the odds, winning not just the matches but also the battle of character and resilience. This historic win, their first-ever Test series victory against Pakistan on their home turf, is a testament to a collective team effort. </p>



<p>The credit war might rage on, but what truly matters is how Bangladesh as a team roared together, marking their place in the record book of cricket history.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2><strong>Table of Contents</strong></h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-ban-2nd-test-match-summary">PAK vs BAN 2nd Test Match Summary</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-ban-2nd-test-scorecard">PAK vs BAN 2nd Test: Scorecard</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>Pakistan has been convincingly outclassed on home soil by a side deemed weaker on paper. Babar Azam's form has slumped, the top order lacks stability, and constant team changes are proving counterproductive. </p>



<p>The pace attack has been ineffective, and the absence of a dependable spinner is concerning. Shan Masood, the coaching staff, and the PCB have significant issues to resolve before England's upcoming tour.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-ban-2nd-test-match-summary"><strong>PAK vs BAN 2nd Test Match Summary</strong></h2>



<p>Opting to bowl first, Bangladesh's bowlers immediately made their presence felt by dismissing Pakistan for 274 in the first innings, with Mehidy Hasan leading the charge with a superb five-wicket haul. Saim Ayub, skipper Shan Masood and Agha scored individual 50s in the innings.</p>

<p>However, Bangladesh found themselves in deep trouble at 26/6 in their first innings. It was a crucial lower-order stand between Litton Das(138) and Mehidy Hasan(78) that turned the tide. Litton's reviving century was instrumental in reducing the deficit to just 12 runs, keeping Bangladesh firmly in the contest.</p>



<p>In Pakistan's second innings, Bangladesh's bowling attack stepped up once more, this time spearheaded by the raw pace of Nahid Rana and the precision of Hasan Mahmud. The pair combined effectively to dismantle the hosts, claiming nine wickets between them and skittling Pakistan out for a modest 172. This left Bangladesh with a manageable 185 to chase.</p>

<p>Bangladesh's chase got off to a solid start, with <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/9870/zakir-hasan">Zakir Hasan</a> playing positively at the top of the order. Although a few quick wickets in the afternoon slowed the run chase, the experienced duo of Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim steadied the ship. Their composure and experience in handling pressure saw them home, clinching a historic series victory on Pakistani soil and underscoring their growing prowess in Test cricket.</p>
