Bangladesh Set to Host Pakistan for Two Test Matches
The Bangladesh national cricket team is gearing up to host Pakistan for a two-game Test series, marking a significant milestone in the history of both nations. The series will be played in Chittagong and Dhaka, with the first Test commencing on November 26, 2023.
The upcoming Test matches hold immense importance for both teams. Bangladesh will be looking to continue their impressive home record, having won four of their last five Test matches played in their own backyard. Pakistan, on the other hand, will be aiming to build upon their recent success in the format, having won two of their last three Test series.
Shan Masood Recalled to Pakistan Squad
One of the key talking points ahead of the series is the recall of senior batsman Shan Masood to the Pakistan squad. Masood, who last played a Test match in 2020, has been in impressive form in domestic cricket and will be eager to make an impact on his return to the international arena.
Bangladesh's Strengths and Weaknesses
Bangladesh's strength lies in their spin bowling attack, led by the experienced duo of Shakib Al Hasan and Taijul Islam. However, their batting lineup has been inconsistent in recent times, and they will need to perform collectively to challenge Pakistan's formidable bowling attack.
Pakistan's Strengths and Weaknesses
Pakistan boasts a well-balanced team with a strong batting lineup and a potent bowling attack. Their batting is led by skipper Babar Azam, who is currently ranked as the world's top-ranked batter in Tests. The bowling attack is spearheaded by pace bowlers Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi, both of whom are capable of troubling even the best batsmen in the world.
Match Schedule
- 1st Test: November 26-30 at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chittagong
- 2nd Test: December 4-8 at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Dhaka
