Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

[JunaidAzizi]

The likes of Shakib and Mushfiqur Rahim waited 17 and 19 years respectively to achieve this feat so one can understand how big this series win is for Bangladesh. After such a historical win, I hope they don't lose their momentum. They should keep nurturing young talent and must avoid all the mediocrity.

Indian fan but I won't mind if Bangbros showcases such a fight against us in the next couple of weeks.   

Yeah, it's a great victory for the Bangladesh team to counter the Pakistan team after such a long time they have waited for, and I am sure their happiness level has reached the sky because they beat a team that has been unbeatable for them for a long time. Finally, they beat the Pakistan team in their hometown, which is also a very proud moment for them. I saw the scoreboard after the match, and there was no Pakistani player who got player of the series or match. The worst performance of the Pakistani team was not what I expected from them; at least they should have won a single match for their honor and respect, especially since they were in their hometown. But they failed and were clean swept by the Bangladesh team. Also, I did not expect this performance from the Bangladesh team as well. At first, I thought the Pakistani team was unpredictable, but now the Bangladesh team is also following that path, haha. In the end, I congratulate them on a wonderful win.

I will agree with you because Bangladesh have not won a test series to my knowledge so far correct me if I am wrong. From this point of view, Bangladesh has made a record in this test series.  And it is also true that nobody expected Pakistan to lose like this on their own home ground.  I think Bangladeshi fans didn't think that Bangladesh would win this series. Bangladesh's batting site has improved significantly in this match, now it is to be seen how they perform in the upcoming ODI series and T20 series.  As far as I have seen Bangladesh are very weak team in ODI and T20 format.

[Mahdirakib]

Sad state of affairs for Pakistan cricket, once used to be top teams in world cricket, now getting defeat through the hands of minnow teams. Anyway, this series win should boost Bangladesh team's confidence and we should see them giving good fight to Indians.

Pakistan has lost the first match for overconfidence. And they lost the second one for poor decisions. I never thought that Bangladesh will be able to win any match against Pakistan in this series. Surprisingly Pakistan got whitewashed by them. Although this winning will motivate them against India, but they won't be able to win against India. They will play against Bangladesh with their strong squad.

Before the start of Pakistan vs Bangladesh series all of us Bangladeshis predicted that either Bangladesh will lose or lose one match and draw the other match. But we could never have imagined that Bangladesh would defeat Pakistan in the series. Bangladesh cricket team has achieved more than what we wanted.  Indeed, this victory will remain a historic victory for Bangladesh.  Yes Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hasan Shanto said in his interview that Bangladesh will be motivated to beat India with the motivation of this win.  If right now Bangladesh's playing style is a little different than before, but to beat India, Bangladesh will have to develop a more developed and test-playing mentality.

[JahriMeayer]

Once again Bangladesh won by 6 wickets against Pakistan in their 2nd test match and thus they whitewashed Pakistan in this test series. I think Pakistan did avarage performance in 1st inngins where they scored 274-10 runs where Agha Salman, Shan Masood, Saim Ayub played well and done their half century. Mehidy Hasan Miraz took 5 wickets alone and Bangladesh Scored 262-10 runs where they lost 6 wickets at 26-6 runs lol. But Miraz(78) and Litton Das(136) made a incredible performance which was unbelievable, that made bangladesh go ahead with good runs. But in 2nd inngins, Pakistan did very poor batting, Agha Salman and  Rizwan anyhow made decent amount of runs but rest of players did worse, scored 172-10 runs and all out. That's why bangladesh able to surpassed their runs easily, made 185-4 easily and won the match. I saw Bangladesh to win after a long time. Congrats Bangladesh for their great archivement

The contribution of each player in this test series of Bangladesh was outstanding and they contributed very important from their respective places. Mehdi Hasan Miraj bowled brilliantly in both Tests and his contribution in batting was also outstanding.  The second match was won on the back of a crucial partnership he formed with Liton Das. Moreover, Nahid Rana had an outstanding performance in the second Test and the duo of Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Nahid Rana were able to wreak havoc on the Pakistan batting squad. Overall every player has performed brilliantly in this world which may be why they have been able to whitewash a strong team in Pakistan.

Bangladesh deserves that because they come to Pakistan and they were fully prepared but Pakistani team wasn't playing well in their home and this was a shame for Pakistani team. And they disheartened the Pakistani fans. And that's right that Bangladesh team made a history by winning two consecutive matches from Pakistan.
Well Bangladesh played very well in these two matches especially there bowlers was in good form and they destroyed the Pakistani team earlier and made a easy way for the batsmen. Means they worked as a team work so they were able to win.

[Haunebu]

Just found out that Shan Masood mentioned that their team was heading on the right track after their embarassing series loss against Bangladesh. This dude is completely out of his mind and I have no idea how he became the captain.

Pakistan cricket is definitely at its lowest point now. On the other hand, Bangladesh cricket is surging ahead surprisingly well. Let's see how they fare against the mighty Indians on their turf.

Yeh absolutely it's call of awake for Pakistan to be serious and regain thier form and position, as from press conference Pakistani captain told the media that it's team of several new young talented player and we should back them and provide as much as possible opportunity to them because due to lack of focus on test format they unable to find gem for that format but for t20 as PSL are really on fire in Pakistan and mostly player just focus to play aggressive to be the part of PSL. So the best possible solution for that things is to focus on domestic cricket because here player are tested for real. I am sure Pakistan team management will keep that point in mind to get talent for test format as such player are completely different from others and hard to find.

Pakistan had some wrong decisions in the first match especially the captain wanted to keep his team ahead of Bangladesh by declaring in that match but in the first innings of that match Bangladesh surpassed Pakistan's first innings collection and added 150 plus runs. However, in the second match, Pakistan did not take Bangladesh as an easy opponent, but in the second match, Bangladesh competed against Pakistan eye to eye, and in the second match, Bangladesh was able to defeat Pakistan by a big margin. But one thing I like is the love of Pakistani fans for Bangladesh. They have no regret that their team lost because their team lost against Bangladesh and they congratulated Bangladesh in many ways.

Endless love to all Pakistani brothers who love Bangladesh who love Bangladesh cricket.

While all the players have performed brilliantly for the Bangladesh team in the Test series between Bangladesh and Pakistan, Mehdi Hasan Miraj's contribution has been different.In other words, he took the lead of the team when the team was in danger. Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Liton Kumar Das formed a formidable pair when Bangladesh were reeling at the loss of 6 wickets for 26 runs in the second Test match. The pair between them caused headaches for the Pakistani bowlers as none of the bowlers bowled well against them as they faced one ball after another and played defensively. As a result, even though the Pakistanis dreamed of bowling out Bangladesh in few runs, it was not possible.

One of the most important contributions to Bangladesh's victory in the second Test match was the pair formed between Liton Kumar Das and Mehdi Hasan Miraj. If they had not formed such a strong pair, Bangladesh might never have won the second match.

Under his tenure, they did alright in the away Australia tour. Standards are so low that despite whitewash in Australia, they did appear okay in patches, considering their lousy performance in previous tours. So maybe he was highlighting that particular point.

Pakistan might do a satisfactory job if their main players start skipping useless white ball bilateral series, especially fast bowlers like Shaheen. For the white ball series couple of seniors are enough, you surely don't need full strength team against Zim, Ire, etc, unless an ICC trophy is scheduled around it. 

[As-Soon-As]

The players of the Pakistan team could not win this match due to some mistakes of the Pakistan team. Generally Pakistan team never performed well in terms of bowling and batting together.
But generally due to the mistake of the leadership, the performance of the players of the Pakistan team has been poor, because the Pakistan team has already made a spot with all the experienced players who are supposed to perform well in every match, but the bowling and batting players who are aggressive did not perform on time.
Usually Shafiq entered the field as an opening batsman and did not perform well in a single match, leaving the later players under pressure.

For a long time we have been witnessing erratic and poor performances from Pakistani players. The squad players of this team are very talented but they are not performing well. I don't know where their main problem is.

Pakistan's bowlers are also not doing well in this series. In the first innings of the first match, the Pakistan team declared the innings after accumulating 448 runs. The Pakistan captain never imagined that the Bangladesh team would amass a massive 565 in the first innings. They considered the Bangladesh team to be weak. This was one of their mistakes. And perhaps this is why Pakistan lost the match.

The second match was very competitive. Because the players of Bangladesh team were confident. Even after losing 6 wickets for 26 runs, Bangladesh managed to collect a huge total of 262 runs. However, Pakistani players need to be more diligent. If not, we will not see the progress of this team in the future. Pakistan will play against England in the next series. This series is more difficult for Pakistan.

In Pakistan cricket, selection of players is a little bit weak management, especially Babar Azam out of form has made Pakistan cricket more weak. Right now some changes are very much needed in Pakistan cricket where they should provide temporary entertainment. After the last World Cup, there has been a lot of decline in Pakistan's cricket, then losing the Test series with Bangladesh at home is more worrying for Pakistan cricket. But if there is no change in management in Pakistan cricket, I don't think Pakistan cricket can be as strong as before.

I am very happy that Bangladesh beat Pakistan again.  Because I predicted in favor of Bangladesh and it happened.  Because I fully expected Bangladesh to play the second match with an even better performance and it did.  Pakistan has not performed well in both the innings.  274 runs in the first innings and 172 runs in the second innings which was not a good target.  And if you look at the first innings of the Bangladesh batsmen, they did not play well, but they played well in the second innings and won the match.  Congratulations to Anu for this win and they will continue to play like this and the hope is that the third match will also be in Bangladesh's favor and they will win the match and the series as well.  Pakistan should be ashamed of their defeats that they will be defeated twice.  If they continue to play with such performance, nothing can happen to them.

The Pakistan team did not finish well in the last overs, scoring only a few runs in the second innings. Test matches usually require a patient performance, where the Pakistan team has failed. However, no matter the batting performance, the bowling performance of the Pakistan team has been worse, although they have performed well in the unique match, they have performed badly against the Bangladesh team in this test match. But later Pakistan team will have more experience and perform against Bangladesh then there will be only chance to win.

Now , Pakistani cricket is dead because there are no quality players and players are picked on the reference bases and no one is good performer in the team . I think, there should be Misbah UL Haq and Younas because they were quality players and after the retirement of them , Pakistani cricket is almost end. Pakistani Cricket board have to take hard decisions and they are doing mistakes by playing the ODI squad . They should organize the tournament of test cricket and they should notice the class of every batter and then they should take good step for the country.If they didn't take any step for the country, in the next test championship, Pakistani team will be out and any other will take the position of Pakistan because Pakistan did not deserve that position.

I was just wondering where these two team stands in ICC World Test Championship 2023/25 after the Bangladesh 2-0 win in this series. To everyone's surprise, Bangladesh has moved up to the 4th position on the points table. We have India, Australia and New Zealand above them and England is at the number 5th position.

Finally, another event of ICC is here in 2025. ICC has announced the dates of the World Test Championship. It will played in Lord’s Cricket ground from 11 June 2025 to 15 June 2025 and here is also reserve day for this game on 16th June.

Let’s remind last Test Championship, it was played in 2023 between India and Australia in which Travis Head smashed a century and India lost the final. Before this the Test Championship final was played in between India and New Zealand that has been lost by India too and for the second time, New Zealand won any trophy in the ICC event.

There were debates on this topic. A lot of people wanted to take the final match away from Lord's. But I don't agree with that. Lord's to cricket is what KFC is to the chicken. Take Lord's away from the World Test Championship, and a lot of glamour will be lost. Anyway, I don't want the final of the test championship to be played at the dust bowls of India or Bangladesh. The pitch at Lord's provide equal opportunities for both batsmen and bowlers, and for a major tournament we need this balance between both the domains.
