Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
No one were expecting performance like this from them because recently they are having poor performance but today first day of Rawalpindi test they have done good job after win of toss and having good use of these after rain conditions, but sadly we have good recovery from the Saud Shakeel and Saim Ayub which bring back Pakistan in this game now at the end of first day play we have just 41 overs game 158 runs for the lost of 4 wickets Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel are on crease hopefully we will have 300+ runs from Pakistan which could be enough for them to have in these conditions.
Saim Ayub played so well today as he balanced the pressure and has not lost wicket until he reached 56 runs. He stabled the game after the wicket of Babar Azam and also the time when the team has too muhc pressure, he help the team on that time when Abdullah Shafique was out. By the way before the match Shan Masood said as the captain “We want to give Saim Ayub the fair chance.” Today in this day we have seen such an amazing effort by the Saim Ayub. A good decision was taken by the Shan Masood as captain but I think in the next match Abrar Ahmed also have to play and show similiar performance.
The way the wickets of the Pakistan team fell in the beginning was very dangerous for the Pakistan team, but the Bangladesh team could not go ahead with that kind of bowling performance. Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel have created the current partnership of Pakistan team, if they break the partnership of these two, Bangladesh team can put more pressure on Pakistan team with bowling performance. Siam Ayub and Saud Shakeel have scored half centuries of Pakistan team so far but Saud Shakeel is unbeaten so far.
Shariful Islam and Hasan Mahmood of Bangladesh team collected two wickets each which were the most aggressive batsmen of Pakistan team. But Shakib Al Hasan 2 bowled again and did not get any wicket, but if you want to beat the Pakistan team, you must improve your bowling performance.
