New Zealand vs Pakistan - 2nd Test: Day 3

Bangladesh and Pakistan will take on each other in a two-match Test series, starting on Friday, November 26. The first Test will be played at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, while the second and final one will be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium.

After a disastrous T20I series, Bangladesh will be keen to make a strong comeback in the red-ball format. Bangladesh’s last Test was against Zimbabwe in Zimbabwe in July this year, which the Tigers won by 220 runs.

However, the hosts will miss Shakib Al Hasan’s services in the first Test, as the veteran has been ruled out due to fitness reasons. With Mushfiqur Rahim coming back to the squad, the hosts will have a strong team, though. Spin bowlers Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz will be the players to watch out for.

Meanwhile, Pakistan will be led by Babar Azam, and are brimming with confidence after steamrolling the hosts 3-0 in the T20I series. Imam-ul-Haq and Bilal Asif’s return would be one of the most interesting aspects to watch in the Test series. However, the team will miss their premier spinner, Yasir Shah.

Sajid Khan, who has impressed in the domestic circuit, has been given a chance in the Test series in Shah’s absence. With the BCB apparently dishing out subpar pitches in the T20I series, the wickets in Chattogram and Dhaka would grab a lot of attention.


Head-to-head record: Bangladesh vs Pakistan in Tests

Bangladesh and Pakistan have played a total of 11 Tests so far. Pakistan have won ten, with the other game ending in a draw. The two teams last met in February 2020, when Pakistan won by an innings and 44 runs.
