RAWALPINDI CRICKET STADIUM: Due to heavy rain, umpires have decided to abandon the first day of the second and final Test Match between Green Shirts and the Bengal Tigers here on Friday (30th August, 2024).
PCB proclaimed: “The first day’s play has been called off due to persistent rain and wet outfield.”
Aficionados as well as the pundits, who are still feeling the humiliation of defeat by US, got another shock on 24th August, 2024 when Bangladesh took a lead of 117 runs by amassing 565 runs in response to Green Shirts’ 448 for the loss of six wickets in reply to Pakistan’s 448/6 on day four of the first Test.
With Mushfiq-ur-Rahim’s 191 (runs off 341 balls) on the fourth day of the first Test played against the Green Shirts, Bengal Tigers are expecting to win the first ever test match against Pakistan. It is pertinent to mention here that the two teams have played thirteen matches so far. Pakistan won 12 and the 13th ended sans resultat.
Green Shirts to play the final match: Shan Masood (Skipper), Saud Shakeel, Abrar Ahmed, Abdullah Shafique, Babar Azam, Khurram Shahzad, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub and Salman Ali Agha.
