Pakistan and Bangladesh are set to face off in a two-match Test series, with the first Test scheduled to begin on August 21, 2024, at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The series marks Pakistan’s resumption of their World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle, where they currently sit sixth in the standings.
For Pakistan, two wins in this series are crucial to improve their position in the WTC rankings. Star batter Babar Azam, who has been in exceptional form, will bat at number four in the series. Bangladesh, on the other hand, will enter the game after experiencing political turmoil in their country. They currently occupy eighth place in the WTC standings, having won only one match out of four so far.
The first Test match will commence at 10:30 AM IST on August 21st. Unfortunately, the match will not be live telecast in India. However, fans can follow the live streaming of the match on the official website of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Pakistan will be eager to start their WTC campaign on a positive note, while Bangladesh will be determined to prove their mettle against a formidable opponent. The series promises to be an exciting contest between two talented teams.
