Pakistan’s ongoing struggle is still on. After the ODI World Cup 2023, the team has gone through a lot of changes. But still, now, they are facing tough times.

That was their first defeat against the Tigers. At that moment, Pakistan’s dressing room chat has been leaked.
Pakistan’s Devastating Loss Against Bangladesh:
After a long time, Pakistan and Bangladesh met each other for a two-match Test series. The Rawalpindi Stadium arranged the first game of the series. It was Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood’s fourth series as skipper. That match was a big disappointment for the entire team. Since the beginning, they struggled in every department.
Along with some cricket action, there are some major mistakes even in their tactical moves. While naming the playing xi, they didn’t name a single spinner in the list. On the other hand, the Bangladeshi spinners showcased magic and that was a huge setback for Pakistan.
While batting in the first innings, Pakistan kept losing wickets consecutively. Sain Ayub scored a half-century. Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan maintained an exceptional partnership that boosted the team’s total. That struggle went on even in bowling.
Their second innings was even more disappointing. Mohammed Rizwan scored a half-century in this innings. The other batters couldn’t even stand tall in front of Bangladesh’s bowling lineup. They ended their second innings with just 146 runs. Bangladesh reached within the 7th overs of their second innings and won the match by 10 wickets.
