Hosts Pakistan suffered a huge loss against Bangladesh in a first test match, Bangladesh registered their first-ever victory over Pakistan. Bangladesh chased the target of 30 runs, and many people have started trolling after their poor performance.
Pakistan had a great start in the first innings but they made a huge mistake by declaring the innings and felt they lost the match. Pakistan hasn’t won any test series at home and they kept their streak for a long time.
“Looking at the pitch, we expected it to do more. If we played 3 fast bowlers, we would be pushing them to the limit and the spinner would be bowling 25-30 overs a day, which we wanted to avoid. We thought that with the weather, it may not even last the full 5 days. At the end of the day, we got it wrong.
“Hindsight’s 20/20. The reason for the declaration was a positive push – to push the game forward and hopefully have a crack at them in the 4th innings. We could have done with those runs but there were also things with the ball and in the field that we could’ve done better to either take a lead or keep them at par,” Masood added.
