Day 4 of the second Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh in the 2024 Bangladesh tour of Pakistan took an electrifying turn, leaving fans on the edge of their seats. The crucial moment came during the 37th over of Pakistan’s second innings when Mohammad Rizwan‘s promising knock came to an abrupt end, marking a pivotal breakthrough for Bangladesh.

Mohammad Rizwan’s mistime drive 

Hasan Mahmud, the fiery pacer from Bangladesh, delivered a game-changing over. Rizwan, who had been holding the innings together with a steady 43 off 73 balls, attempted an ambitious drive off a wide delivery that was angled across him. The ball, delivered on a good length, shaped away further, catching Rizwan off guard. Lunging forward, he could only manage a thick outside edge, which flew straight into the gloves of wicketkeeper Litton Das, who made no mistake in pouching the catch.

Bangladesh holds a strong position over Pakistan 

This wicket was a major blow for Pakistan, as they lost their seventh wicket with their lead still under 150. Rizwan’s dismissal left Pakistan all out for a total of 172 in their second innings, setting Bangladesh a target of 185 runs to win the match and secure the series.

Hasan was the star performer with the ball for Bangladesh, claiming a five-wicket haul that dismantled Pakistan’s batting lineup. His fiery spell, combined with the disciplined support from his fellow bowlers, put Bangladesh in a commanding position.

As Bangladesh began their chase, they reached 42 without loss in just 7 overs, with openers displaying positive intent. However, just as the game was building up to a thrilling conclusion, the heavens opened up, forcing the umpires to halt play due to rain. With Bangladesh needing just 143 more runs to clinch victory and the series, all eyes will be on the weather and the resumption of play.

The outcome of this match now hangs in the balance, with Bangladesh in a strong position but at the mercy of the weather. Cricket fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the final twist in this captivating Test match.
