The highly anticipated second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh has been delayed due to heavy rain in Rawalpindi. The toss, which was scheduled to take place on Friday morning, has been postponed until further notice. The rain has been intermittent since morning, causing the stadium to be waterlogged and the pitch to be fully covered.
This delay is a bad omen for the Pakistan team, who are desperate to square the two-match series after Bangladesh won the first Test. The team has been struggling lately, losing early in the T20 World Cup and their last Test series against Australia. The pressure is on for Pakistan to perform well in this match, and the rain delay is not helping their cause.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, is looking to secure their first Test-series victory over Pakistan. They won the first Test by 10 wickets, a historic victory that marked their first win in 14 Tests against Pakistan. The team is confident and ready to take on Pakistan again.
The Pakistan team has made some changes to their squad, leaving out pace spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi to allow him to spend time with his newly born son. Star pacer Afridi struggled to find his rhythm in the first Test, and the team has decided to rest him for this match.
The hosts have been struggling through a lean spell of late, and this match is crucial for them to turn their luck around. The team has been working hard in practice, and the players are determined to perform well.
