Pakistan vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test: Prediction

After a shocking defeat in the opening Test match of the series against Bangladesh, Pakistan will look to correct their mistake of excluding specialist leg spinner Abrar Ahmed, in place of one of the pacers.

Even though their batting collapsed in the second innings, it is likely to remain the same.

While the hosts will need to go for the win, to equalise the Test series, the visitors Bangladesh simply need to achieve a draw to record a historic Test series win.
