Pakistan lost to Bangladesh in the first test at Mirpur Dhaka by 104 runs. Pakistan's batsmen were found to be particularly vulnerable to Nahid Rana's pace on the fifth day's pitch which was wearing and tearing. Pakistan made the huge mistake of bowling first on a pitch which was flat on the first three days of the test match.
Although Pakistan's debutantes Azan Awais and Abdullah Fazal shone with the bat throughout the test match the senior batsmen especially Shan Masood and Saud shakeel failed miserably. Shan Masood as captain should lead from the front just like Imran Khan used to do in his playing days but Shan Masood is doing exactly the opposite.
In the end what I would like to say is that Bangladesh's bowling is their strength and Pakistan will do well if they can draw this test series 1-1 with Bangladesh.
