Bangladesh Vs Pakistan Toss Update, 2nd Test: PAK To Field First; Babar Azam Makes A Comeback

Bangladesh will be up against Pakistan in the 2nd Test of the two-match series at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium starting Saturday, May 16.

Bangladesh are leading the series by 1-0 as they beat Pakistan by 104 runs in the first test. Skipper Najmul Hasan Shanto, Mominal Haque, and Nahid Rana starred for the hosts in the first Test at Dhaka.

While Shanto and Hasan shone with the bat for Bangladesh in the first innings, Nahid Rana bagged a five-wicket haul to dismantle Pakistan for 163 in the fourth innings.

Babar Azam, who missed the first Test due to injury, is set to make a comeback in this all-important match for Pakistan as they seek a desperate win to save themselves from humiliating back-to-back series losses against Bangladesh.

Debutants Azan Awais and Abdullah Fazal turned out to be Pakistan's only respite in the batting department. While Awais slammed his maiden century in the first innings, Fazal proved his mettle with two half-centuries in both innings.
