Pakistan

Agha Salman and Khurram Shahzad may be replaced in the starting lineup by Mir Hamza and Abrar Ahmed, marking two changes for the Men in Green.

The inaugural Test yielded only one encouraging result: centuries from wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan and vice-captain Saud Shakeel.

To score the most runs in this final game, the team’s batting lineup will be dependent on opener Abdullah Shafique, youngster Saim Ayub, wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan, and the middle-order combination of Shan Masood, Saud Shakeel, and Babar Azam.

With the help of eleven fours and three sixes, Mohammad Rizwan ended the first innings against Bangladesh with an undefeated 171 runs off 239 balls. Rizwan was the most impressive batsman of the match. Vice-captain Saud Shakeel, who amassed an incredible 141 runs off 261 balls with nine boundaries, provided him with plenty of assistance. Earlier, Saim Ayyub, the opener, overcame a challenging phase to hit 56 runs off 98 balls, including four fours and one six.

Pakistan’s second innings was a dismal batting display as they were bowled out for 146 runs in 55.5 overs while trailing by 117 runs. Mohammad Rizwan scored 51 runs off 80 balls for Pakistan.

The team would be counting on bowlers like Mohammad Ali, Mir Hamza, Abrar Ahmed, Naseem Shah, and Shaheen Afridi to make significant contributions in the bowling department in time.

Naseem Shah was Pakistan’s best bowler in the previous game, taking three wickets off Bangladesh.
