Bangladesh need 185 runs to win

Pakistan lost a pair of wickets in the last afternoon of the third day with a lead of 12 runs. In the first session of the fourth day, Pakistan's batsmen could not stand in the second innings of the second Test in Rawalpindi in the face of the Bangladeshi pacers. Two Tiger pacers, Taskin and Nahid Rana, were competing to pick up wickets.

At the beginning of the second session, Bangladesh bowled out the hosts for 172 runs by quickly picking up 4 more wickets. The Tigers need 185 runs to win and a whitewash against the hosts. Nazmul Hossain Shantor's team defeated the hosts by 10 wickets in the previous match.

Sayem Ayub started the fourth day's play unbeaten with 6 runs from 6 balls. Pak captain Shan Masood came to the crease with him. These two batsmen made a partnership of 38 runs. However, Taskin Ahmed brought success to Bangladesh by returning Ayub who scored 20 runs from 35 balls for the team's 47 runs.

Then pacer Nahid Rana struck a double blow in the Pakistan camp. Shan Masood was out for 28 off 34 balls and Babar Azam was out for 11 runs off 18 balls. Pakistan is under a lot of pressure after the departure of these two batsmen. Before handling that pressure, Nahid struck again. Saud Shakil, who scored 2 runs in 10 balls for the team's 81 runs, was sent back to Sajghar by this tiger pacer. Then Mohammad Rizwan tried to handle the disaster with Salman Agha who came to the crease.

Rizwan started batting a bit aggressively. However, Hasan Mahmud sent him back to court in bowling at the beginning of the second session. Rizwan got out with 43 runs in 73 balls for the team's 136 runs. Muhammad Ali returned to the palace after his departure. Hasan failed to make a hat-trick by returning these two batters with two consecutive balls.

After that, Abrar Ahmed quickly returned to the crease. But Salman continued to fight on one end. However, when Mir Hamza got out as the last batsman, Pakistan were all out for 172 runs in 46 overs. Salman remained unbeaten on 47 runs off 71 balls. Hasan took 5 wickets and Nahid 4 wickets for Bangladesh.
