Bangladesh's approach to take on the Pakistan spinners backfired as they ended up losing seven wickets for just 76 runs on Day 4. Other than Mominul Haque, who was run out, all six wickets fell to Sajid Khan. Earlier, Pakistan declared their innings on 300/5.
Little cricket took place in the first three days of the Mirpur Test match. When play resumed, Pakistan lost Azhar Ali and Babar Azam early in the day. Then Fawad Alam (50*) and Mohammad Rizwan (53*) added an unbeaten 103 to take them to 300.
Pakistan need 13 wickets on the last day to win this game. Sajid and Nauman Ali were impressive, but they need to continue with the same rhythm on Day 5. The pace duo of Hasan Ali and Shaheen Shah Afridi may be tasked to wipe off the tail.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, will aim to get those 25 runs and avoid a follow on. Shakib Al Hasan, who is currently batting on 23, holds the key. Their batters need to be a bit more watchful and conservative.
