The second Test between Bangladesh and Pakistan commenced in Sylhet, with Bangladesh leading the series 1-0 after their convincing 104-run victory in the first match. Pakistan's star batter Babar Azam returns to the squad after recovering from a knee injury, which sidelined him during the opening Test. His presence is crucial for Pakistan, especially given the spin-friendly conditions of the Sylhet pitch, where experience will play a significant role in countering Bangladesh's bowling attack. In the first Test, Bangladesh showcased their strength by scoring 413 runs in their first innings, largely thanks to a remarkable century from skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto. In response, Pakistan struggled, despite a debut hundred from Azan Awais, collapsing while chasing a target of 268 runs. As Bangladesh deals with injury concerns, having lost opener Shadman Islam, they may also see Tanzid Hasan Tamim make his debut in this match.
