Bangladesh created history when they beat Pakistan for the very first time and now they are aiming to white-wash the series. The second test will be commencing from August 30. ICC WTC 2023-25 points are at stake for Pakistan and if they lose then their chances of making to the final would take a bad hit.
Bangladesh upheld Pakistan throughout the game and in the end, Bangladesh won the match after chasing just 30 runs. Bangladesh played as a team and they didn’t give any chance to the hosts to make a comeback. Bangladeshi Tigers have a golden opportunity of winning their maiden Test series as Pakistan look confused with their approach and their decision where their assistant coach Azhar Mahmood was unsure of the wicket how it played.
Andre Adams hides the strategy against Babar Azam
Bangladesh made a historical win over Pakistan in the first test now they are ready to play the second test and also they will aim to make the series 2-0. Bangladesh had sheer dominance over Pakistan while bowling, every bowler equally contributed which made batters easy to win the game in the end. Bangladesh’s bowling coach Andre Adams was addressing to media, so one reporter asked about the strategies against Babar Azam, but Andre Adams didn’t utter a single word about it. Andre Adams said:
“I can’t share the plan (laughs). Babar is a great player and you have to be clear about what you want to do to get him out early. You have to pay attention to guys like Babar and (Mohammad) Rizwan, who can take the game away from you.”
“I don’t know what sort of wicket we will get for the second Test. I don’t know how much the plan will change. This is a country where you have to be patient in Test matches. I don’t see the plans changing too much from the blueprint of the previous game. The plans could change if they (Pakistan) change their playing XI.”
Babar Azam was out on zero in the first innings while in second innings he couldn’t convert runs into big. Can Bangladesh restrict Pakistan in second test or Pakistan can create any upset to save the series?
