The upcoming second and final Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh at Rawalpindi is a critical encounter, especially after Bangladesh's stunning 10-wicket victory in the first Test. 

This was Pakistan's first-ever Test loss to Bangladesh and extended their winless streak in the format to nine matches since 2021. 

With the series on the line, Pakistan has made a key change to their squad, particularly by bringing in specialist leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed, who was surprisingly left out in the first Test. 

Despite the batting collapse in their second innings, Pakistan is expected to stick with the same batting lineup and will focus on their strength and bowling attack to counter Bangladesh's batsmen. 

While it is important to note that, the home side will be under immense pressure to secure a win and level the series, while Bangladesh only needs a draw to clinch a historic Test series victory. 

This match promises to be a thrilling contest as Pakistan seeks redemption and Bangladesh looks to continue their momentum. So ahead, of this critical match, let's look at the ground stats of Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
