The scariest statistic of Pakistan's defeat tells us that Bangladesh will achieve a clean sweep!
On Tuesday, August 3, Pakistan cricket fans will have only one wish - that the Rawalpindi cricket stadium should be overcast with clouds and if that is not enough, then it should rain heavily. There is a fear behind this wish - the already being ridiculed may turn into a lifelong embarrassment. After all, the performance of the Pakistani team has been like this. On one hand, it had to prepare an impenetrable fortress at home, and on the other hand, it was yearning for victory at home. Now the Pakistani team is on the verge of the most shameful defeat in its cricket history and the chances of this happening are very high because its record is such. If there is no rain interruption on the last day of the second Test match being played in Rawalpindi, then Bangladesh has a great opportunity to achieve a historic clean sweep.
In the first Test match of the series at Pindi Cricket Stadium, Pakistan had to face defeat by 10 wickets which was their first defeat in Test cricket against Bangladesh. Pakistani fans must have thought that the team would overcome this embarrassment and make a strong comeback and show its strength in the next Test but once again the team is heading towards a crushing defeat at Pindi Stadium. On the last day of the match, Bangladesh will need 143 runs and it has a total of 10 wickets left.
The Bangladeshi team has the upper hand at the moment. Although it is not easy to achieve a target of more than 150 runs in the fourth innings in Test cricket, but this is where the Bangladeshi team has a great opportunity because the record of the Pakistani team in front of them is bad in this matter. Not just bad, but very bad.
Statistics show that to date the Pakistani team has given a target of less than 200 runs in 54 test matches and out of these it has won only 4 matches. That means the success of the Pakistani team is negligible. Now let us tell you the statistics that will scare Pakistani fans - out of the remaining 50 matches, Pakistan has faced defeat in 38 matches, yes 38 matches. Only 12 matches ended in a draw.
It is clear that whenever the Pakistani team gives a target of less than 200, there is a high possibility of it losing. In this match too, Pakistan was given a target of only 185 runs. The reason for this was Pakistan's batting failure again in the second innings. Bangladesh's fast bowling trio, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana, and Taskin Ahmed, together took all 10 wickets and bundled out the Pakistani team for just 172 runs. In response, Bangladesh made a surprising start and scored 42 runs without losing a wicket in just 7 overs, when bad light and then rain ended the day's play.
