The first Test of the ongoing Pakistan’s tour of Bangladesh will commence at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium from tomorrow. Having whitewashed Bangladesh 3-0 in the recently concluded T20I series, Pakistan would be confident of increasing their winning streak on this tour.
With Pakistan having played their last Test match in Bangladesh six years ago, expect them to field a whole different Playing XI (with a player or two being exceptions) than the one which had played under former captain and coach Misbah-ul-Haq in 2015.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh will be hoping to register their first-ever Test victory against Pakistan as head-to-head Test records between these two teams are highly in the visitors’ favour.
Out of the 20 Tests that Bangladesh have played in Chattogram over the years, they have won just two and lost as many as 12. Pakistan, on the other hand, had won their lone Test at this venue a decade ago.
