PAK Vs BAN 2nd Test Likely To Be Abandoned Due To Heavy Rain In Rawalpindi

Second test match to be washed out (x)Second test match to be washed out (x)

The upcoming second Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh, scheduled for August 30, has become a critical fixture, especially after Pakistan's surprising 10-wicket defeat in the first Test at Rawalpindi . 

However, the match now faces an additional challenge with adverse weather conditions threatening to disrupt play. Reports suggest that rain is expected during the Test, which will potentially impact the match's progress and outcome.

This development is particularly concerning for Pakistan, who are already under pressure to avoid a series defeat at home and to improve their standings in the ICC World Test Championship. 

A washout or severely interrupted match could complicate their efforts to bounce back, especially since every point in the WTC is crucial. 

Both teams are understandably anxious for the weather to clear up, as the stakes are high not only for Pakistan but also for Bangladesh, who would be eager to capitalise on their momentum.

Pakistan's Shocking Defeat In First Test Match

Pakistan's recent performance in the ongoing Test series has certainly raised widespread criticism after their shocking 10-wicket defeat to Bangladesh in the first Test at Rawalpindi. 

This defeat marks the Men in Green fourth consecutive loss under the leadership of their new captain, Shan Masood. It is the first time Pakistan has lost to Bangladesh in Test cricket history.

The impact of this loss has also been felt in the WTC standings, where Pakistan has dropped from sixth to eighth place, which has further jeopardised their chances of making it to the final.
