Led by a brilliant century from Litton Das and a solid knock by Mehidy Hasan Miraz, the visitors fell just 12 runs short of Pakistan's first innings total. The loss has sparked criticism from Pakistani cricketer Ahmed Shehzad who is disappointed by the team's performance and questions the capabilities of domestic players to replace underperforming stars.
Bangladesh fought back from a dismal start on the third day of the second test against Pakistan, thanks to strong performances from century-maker Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Despite an impressive maiden five-wicket haul from Pakistan's Khurram Shahzad, Litton and Mehidy's partnership propelled Bangladesh to 262.
