Pakistan batting lineup suddenly collapsed. They started very well but till the end they lost the momentum. Well, overall it is more than enough that Pakistan scored good 386 runs. At this stage, their bowlers needs to be focus on attacking bowling and try to have quick wickets because from the other hand, Bangladesh can have much more lead, just try to let them all out before reaching 200 or 250 at max. But the problem is with the potential of Pakistani bowlers.

Pakistan started well at first, but after losing their first three wickets, two more wickets fell very quickly and this put pressure on the lower order batsmen but even then Pakistani batsmen Salman Agha and Md. Rezwan put up some resistance, but then when they both got out again, the Pakistan team could not turn around even though they were trailing the Bangladesh team by a very small margin.

But now if the Bangladesh team repeats their batting, then the Pakistan team will have a chance to lose.

A nice comeback from Bangladesh, especially thanks to Mehidy Hasan Miraz. His impressive bowling figures at the end of Day 3 helped Bangladesh gain a narrow advantage heading into Day 4. The fourth day will be crucial for both Pakistan and Bangladesh. In cricket, momentum can shift at any moment and either side can make a comeback. Hopefully, Bangladesh can take their chance and push for the big.

Yes, when Pakistan finished the second day with 189 runs for the loss of one wicket, it seemed that Pakistan would establish a big lead against Bangladesh, but on the third day, Bangladesh made a great comeback and all out Pakistan for just 386 runs.
Mehedi Hasan Miraj has shown a great bowling performance in today's match. He took 5 important wickets of Pakistan in 38 overs.
I would say that Bangladesh is still in a good position in this Test match, if they can set a target of 300 and a half runs in front of Pakistan in the second innings, then Bangladesh has a chance of winning due to the good bowling of the bowlers in the later stages.

Today, the match got delayed twice due to two major reasons. First, rain started in the ground, and as a result, the pitch became even more uneven and difficult for such cases. On the other hand, the second time when Bangladesh came back to bat, just two or three overs had passed, and the match was delayed due to bad lights. However, if we look at the entire day, it was an interesting and amazing day. Let's see tomorrow, on day 4, what is going to happen when Bangladesh will resume their innings at 7/0.

Muhammad Rizwan who is also the vice captain of the team he came very down at number 7 but at the same time it is the most suitable position for him too because imagine a scenario where the team lose early wickets and the opposition have good momentum so he is able to stand for some time and take the team back where as if we look from different point of view so Pakistan upper batsmen are in good placement so every thing's fine and today he also played good game so what more they need.

Pakistan had surprised everyone with their good effort and hard work and I also thought that Pakistan would succeed in the first innings with their strength but the way Bangladesh has tightened their bowling, they be able to increase the target to 27 runs. With these 27 runs Bangladesh will be able to further strengthen their second innings target. I will consider both of them as good teams in this first innings because both have played very well and it is Bangladesh advantage that they are ahead by more than 27 runs. No, this target is not very strong because Bangladesh will have to play a little more strongly because Pakistan will not make these mistakes in the second innings which will reduce their victory. Pakistan will have to play with more effort and strength now because Bangladesh is already 27 runs ahead and if they still strengthen the target, it will be a defeat for Pakistan.

In the first test game between Pakistan and Bangladesh at the end of day three Bangladesh leaded by thirty four runs. As we know at the end of day two Pakistan played first innings with nine wickets in hand and Azan Awais put a remarkable century on his debue game and also Abdullah fazal done his half century as youngsters and in middle order when the team was panicked and wickets continuously falls then Muhammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha showing there experiences and put the impactful half centuries and Pakistan scores three eighty six runs in first innings. Then Bangladesh starts the second innings and scores seven runs at the end of the day three and currently leaded by thirty four runs.

It was pretty much expected there. The pitch should be more difficult for batting from today. Bangladesh would be able to make it a draw if their batsmen can play with patience for a long time on Day 4. Otherwise, they might lose the match. They are having a little advantage here as they managed to start the second innings with a small lead. Still, the betting odds is in favour of Pakistan now.

I think, odds are in favour of Pakistan due to pressure of fourth innings. As is the norm, Pakistan bowlers typically have gear or two in bank whenever fissures start showing. Only way for Bangladesh to overcome these odds is to concentrate on batting time instead of runs. They will be put on defensive again if they do not lose more than two wickets in first two sessions. It is classic cat and mouse game of blink first in dry spells, and one who blinks first will surrender the momentum.

[ThemePen]

Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque was trying to make a good partnership and pulling the match to draw but unfortunately there is rain and match now delayed due to rain. Although Bangladesh lost 2 wickets earlier but they were playing well now. It is already Day 4 and rain is also interfering so this match easily lead to draw. And I hope second match will give us the result and decide that who will win the series.

[Popkon6]

Then Bangladesh starts the second innings and scores seven runs at the end of the day three and currently leaded by thirty four runs.

Pakistan team was slightly behind in the first innings, but if Bangladesh team cannot perform well in the second innings, then they will fail to give a high night target, so Pakistan team can take a chance to win. So far, Bangladesh team has collected 93 runs in the second innings by losing 2 wickets, but currently Bangladesh team has two batting performances Nazmul Hasan Shanto and Mominul Haque. If Shanto and Mominul Haque can maintain their batting performance for a long time and can bat patiently, then they can collect more than 400 runs in the second innings.
If Bangladesh team can move forward in this form, then there will definitely be a possibility of winning the first innings in favor of Bangladesh team.

I think you are right. We are likely going to see a draw match. To be honest, I did not watched a single ball and didn't even kept track of the match. But I just noticed that Bangladesh is Playing against Pakistan and thought I would check how they are doing. I don't expect much from the Bangladesh team anymore, which is why there is no excitement inside for cricket anymore. It seems like they did pretty well in the first innings and the 2nd one was kind of Okaish innings so far. But as you said, it seems we are going to see a match without any result since the rain has been interrupting the game. The outfield is still wet and they did not started playing yet. Seems like the play will resume very soon since the inspection was done already.

A nice comeback from Bangladesh, especially thanks to Mehidy Hasan Miraz. His impressive bowling figures at the end of Day 3 helped Bangladesh gain a narrow advantage heading into Day 4. The fourth day will be crucial for both Pakistan and Bangladesh. In cricket, momentum can shift at any moment and either side can make a comeback. Hopefully, Bangladesh can take their chance and push for the big.

In fact, the Bangladesh team actually made a good comeback in terms of bowling, where Mehedi Hasan Miraz, who I thought would bowl the worst, actually bowled the best, taking five wickets. What I am most worried about here is that the weather conditions in Dhaka, Bangladesh are not very good at the moment. It rains a lot in these areas at this time and it has been raining in Dhaka for a long time today. So what I think is that if the match is repeatedly stopped due to rain or it may even be stopped halfway through the match. If that happens, then all the fun of such a good and interesting map will be over.

Anyway, Bangladesh is batting in their second innings, although like the first innings, the two openers have played very badly in this innings, with two out for just a few runs. Now Mominul Haque and Nazmul Hossain Shanto are in support. Their partnership is gradually increasing. I think if their partnership can reach 150 runs, then Bangladesh has a chance of getting close to 400 runs today.
 

[AgriTrack]

Looks like the pitch at Mirpur is not as bad as I thought. Pakistani batsmen (especially Azan Awais and Abdullah Fazal) treated Bangladesh bowlers with absolute disdain. And it was the pacer Taskin Ahmed who pulled back things at least partially for Bangladesh. The spinners (Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taijul Islam) completely failed, apart from the lone wicket of Imam-ul-Haq. Today is the third day, and chances are that the match will end up as a draw. Pakistan is likely to get to a total of 500 plus, as they have 7 more wickets remaining. Shan Masood just got out, but they have Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha up next.

Bangladesh batted first and score a strong 413 runs in reply Pakistan fight very hard but Bangladesh bowlers restricted them at 386 runs A young Pakistani player azan awais played very well and scored 103 runs in his first ever match And from Bangladesh mehdy miraz takes 5 wickets and at last session Bangladesh started there second innings and reached 7/0 Now Bangladesh is leading by 34 runs and the match is abondoned due to rain and bad light.

As seen in this match played between Pakistan and Bangladesh, both the teams got the opportunity to bat twice in this match, in which Bangladesh first set a target of 413 runs while playing their innings, which they played very well. They showed great strength and determination to set this record score. Bangladesh is a very strong team and shows the essence of their success in every match. Two Bangladesh players have made very good scores and one player has also completed his century and has increased the record for his team in a good way. If we look at Pakistan's batting in return for their first innings, their batting has decreased a little. One player from their team has also completed his century and Bangladesh has scored 7 runs in the second innings. Bangladesh's players are still not out in the second innings as well and according to the current situation, Bangladesh is in a good position, but this whole situation is according to the conditions of three days now. There's no telling which team will win because the game isn't over yet.

[Bd officer]

In the last series against Ireland, Bangladesh's two opening batsmen Shadman Islam and Mahmudul Hasan Joy did well but in this series they performed very badly, what is the reason for such a bad performance? Or did they do well because Ireland were a weak opponent? Anyway, in my opinion, the opening should be changed in the second match because Tanzid Hasan Tamim is in the squad so it might be better to give him a chance in the second test.

Anyway, at the end of the fourth day, BAN has scored 152 runs for the loss of 3 wickets and has given a lead of 179 runs. Shant did well in the second innings too, he is unbeaten on 58 runs which is very commendable. I think this test has a 90% chance of being drawn.

Bangladesh has good record at home and they have done quite well in this match. This match is likely end in a draw because at the end of day four, Bangladesh has lead of 179 runs and they will declare their innings after scoring 250 or 300 runs on last day. It won't be easy to bowl out Pakistan team on last day. The play was called off early today due to bad light. Mominul Haque and Shanto both have played well in both innings of this test. Najmul Hossain Shanto is still not out on 58 runs.

Today, on day 4, Bangladesh team was trying to score as many runs as possible. By the way, at the start when Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Shadman Islam lost their wickets, after that the next batsmen did smart batting which deserves praise because of an intelligent mindset by both players, especially Najmul Hossain Shanto, who is also the leader and he is doing his responsibility in such an admirable manner. By the end of the day, the Bangladesh team lead by 179 runs.

[Cheema02]

Yes, when Pakistan finished the second day with 189 runs for the loss of one wicket, it seemed that Pakistan would establish a big lead against Bangladesh, but on the third day, Bangladesh made a great comeback and all out Pakistan for just 386 runs.
Mehedi Hasan Miraj has shown a great bowling performance in today's match. He took 5 important wickets of Pakistan in 38 overs.
I would say that Bangladesh is still in a good position in this Test match, if they can set a target of 300 and a half runs in front of Pakistan in the second innings, then Bangladesh has a chance of winning due to the good bowling of the bowlers in the later stages.

Muhammad Rizwan who is also the vice captain of the team he came very down at number 7 but at the same time it is the most suitable position for him too because imagine a scenario where the team lose early wickets and the opposition have good momentum so he is able to stand for some time and take the team back where as if we look from different point of view so Pakistan upper batsmen are in good placement so every thing's fine and today he also played good game so what more they need.

Pakistan openers had given a good start and lost only one wicket of only Imam-ul-Haq was out after score was cross to 200 runs. Pakistan could not cross the 400 runs this is a big failure of the middle order bastman. I think this test match is going to draw because at the end of day 4 four Bangladesh lead by 179 runs while they are playing at 152 runs in a loss of 3 wickets. Najmul Hossain Shanto captain of Bangladesh scoring a well deserved half century and remain unbeaten after scoring 58 runs. Pakistani fast blowers hassan ali, Muhammad abbas and Shaheen shah Afridi only picked one, one wicket but spinners didn't picked any wicket. If Bangladesh declare tomorrow after playing first session of day 5 then they have some chance to get out Pakistan in last 2 session but more chances this match is going to be draw

It won't be easy to bowl out Pakistan team on last day. The play was called off early today due to bad light. Mominul Haque and Shanto both have played well in both innings of this test. Najmul Hossain Shanto is still not out on 58 runs.

Today, on day 4, Bangladesh team was trying to score as many runs as possible. By the way, at the start when Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Shadman Islam lost their wickets, after that the next batsmen did smart batting which deserves praise because of an intelligent mindset by both players, especially Najmul Hossain Shanto, who is also the leader and he is doing his responsibility in such an admirable manner. By the end of the day, the Bangladesh team lead by 179 runs.

Due to poor selection from the Pakistan team, they are facing trouble. They are lacking quality spinners like Bangladesh has today. Fast bowlers have done a good job, but still this was not enough. Now with the second inning's good batting, Bangladesh has a chance of doing some good. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque have formed a good partnership that brings things into their favour now.

Najmul Hossain Shanto has a good chance of doing better with veteran Mushfiqur Rahman; this partnership is going to be important for Bangladesh and their victory. Even with more chances, the match can end in a draw due to poor weather but Bangladesh's batting is looking much better than expected.

[Doll2233]

I think the Pakistan batsmen will lose wickets because of the psychology, as they know that they have to chase 400 or 500+ runs, and that will be enough pressure on them. If Bangladesh can somehow take the total to 600 runs, who knows, they would be able to win by an innings 

Bangladesh batsmen have batted quite well on the 1st day. But there is no possibility for them to score around 600 runs. They might score around 450 runs in the 1st innings. There could be a batting collapse of Bangladesh on day 2. The middle order has done so well today. The pitch may remain batting friendly till the end of day 3 here. I'm also expecting a good batting performance from Pakistan in the 1st innings.

Yesterday, Pakistan started well with back-to-back two wickets taken by Abbas Ali. He is bowling well, and right now Pakistan just need to get four more wickets to finish Bangladesh's first innings.

By the way Bangladesh are also in an great lead, in the first day they already reached up to 300  and today they are also playing good so far, in the next few overs they are about to reach 400 and I think after reaching to that kind of huge score, they must need to play more (only if those batsmen are playing well) and score as much as possible, try to make up to 450 so that Bangladesh don't need to bat again.

In 1st test match Bangladesh team made well runs and delivered brilliant performance. They made 413 run in 117.1 over. In this inning Mominul Haque scored well runs, he scored 91 runs but these were too slow he made these in 200 balls. Also Najmul Hossain Shanto played outstanding batting, he scored 101 runs in 130 balls. And also Mushfiqur Rahim scored well runs, he scored 71 runs in 179 balls but it was also too slow. These three players scored well runs.
On the other hand Pakistan team could not chase this total and they lost all wickets at 386 runs. Azan Ali played well inning, he scored 103 runs in 165 balls. He was prominent in whole team on their runs basis. Salman agha, Muhammad Rizwan, Abdullah fazal. These players scored well runs but these were slow and they could not face 1st inning total. In 2nd inning Bangladesh  team scored 93 runs in 31 runs and lost 2 wickets. But Pakistani batting line is still looking weak.

[Compromise me]

I think, odds are in favour of Pakistan due to pressure of fourth innings. As is the norm, Pakistan bowlers typically have gear or two in bank whenever fissures start showing. Only way for Bangladesh to overcome these odds is to concentrate on batting time instead of runs. They will be put on defensive again if they do not lose more than two wickets in first two sessions. It is classic cat and mouse game of blink first in dry spells, and one who blinks first will surrender the momentum.

Najmul Hossain Shanto is looking in good form and he is present on the crease because he is playing according to situation of the match and he made good score and there will be more chances of draw match. Najmul Hossain Shanto Also made century in this match and he played as he is captain of the team. Mominul Haque should try to complete century in the first inning of the match but he could not make this and was behind 9 score in this match. Azan Awais made century for the team but team is not looking strong and they are giving their effort but there are very less chances of that team to win this match. Pak team have to give their all effort to take 7 wickets in 50 overs if they want to win this match.
