RAWALPINDI: The highly anticipated second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh has been postponed due to persistent rain and unfavorable weather conditions at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Initially scheduled to begin on August 30, the match will now have its next toss update at 12:00 PM (PST).
Following a shocking defeat in the first Test, Pakistan is eager to level the series but faces a new challenge with the weather. The team’s strategies, including their pace attack, declaration timing, and batting performance, have been scrutinized after the loss.
