After Bangladesh outplayed Pakistan in each side of the sport, their first-inning choice to declare at 448/6 got here again to hang-out them.
In Rawalpindi, the group captained by Najmul Hossain Shanto wrote historical past with a 10-wicket victory.Their resounding victory was their first within the Check format in opposition to Pakistan.
Bangladesh took a 117-run benefit over the hosts, and that was when Pakistan began to lose. On the fifth day, wickets had been falling, however Abdullah Shafique managed to carry onto his finish and saved scoring runs.
Having Mohammad Rizwan on the reverse finish, Pakistan was poised to attain an inexpensive quantity. However when Shafique tried to make a careless shot in opposition to Shakib Al Hasan, all hopes had been misplaced. As he got here down the pitch, he tried to take an enormous shot however was unsuccessful.
Basit did not maintain again in his criticism of the Pakistani opener, blaming Shafique’s dismissal for the group’s defeat.
“If I used to be within the dressing room, I might have advised Abdullah Shafique to pack his baggage and depart. His shot was the rationale Pakistan misplaced the match. After hitting 37, you might be gifting away your wicket with such a shot. Shan Masood ought to punish Shafique. That is Pakistan’s group, not your native group. They performed the flawed mixture,” Basit mentioned on his YouTube channel, as per ANI.
Not simply Shafique handed up his wicket carelessly. One other one that tried to pursue fame when holding the fort was needed underneath the circumstance was Naseem Shah.

Along with gamers being tricked into making unfaithful pictures, one of many fundamental causes Pakistan misplaced was that they had been unable to gauge the floor’s traits.
After excluding Abrar Ahmed from the squad, Pakistan select to launch an all-out tempo assault. Their expectations weren’t fulfilled by the selection they made. Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz, the spin pair from Bangladesh, mixed to take 9 wickets and provides Pakistan lots of issues.
Basit thinks Jason Gillespie, Pakistan’s head coach for the Check matches, misjudged the pitch.
“Each Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie misplaced their opening matches. They each made errors. Kirsten made a mistake within the Tremendous Over in opposition to the US, and Jason made a mistake in studying the pitch,” he famous.
