Dhaka Test, BAN vs PAK: After the end of the fourth day’s play in the Dhaka Test, Pakistan had asked Bangladesh to show bravery. Look brother, you showed bravery in the 5th day’s play. Did what he was told. But will Pakistan now also show the courage to convert its words into action? You must be wondering what is this whole matter? So let us explain to you in details. What happened was that after the end of the fourth day of play in the Dhaka Test, Pakistan’s middle order batsman Salman Aga came to the press conference and said that if Bangladesh shows bravery and sets a target of 260 runs in 70 overs, then we will try our best to win this Test match.

Bangladesh showed bravery to Pakistan

Now Bangladesh did as Pakistan had said. He set a target of 268 runs for Pakistan to win the Dhaka Test. The target set by Bangladesh is definitely 8 runs more than the target asked by Salman Aga, but it also has to be seen that they have given more than 70 overs.

Bangladesh gave target to Pakistan as per demand

It will be interesting to see how Pakistan responds to the bravery shown by Bangladesh. However, one wicket has fallen in that attempt. Chasing the target of 268 runs, Pakistan team, which is playing its second innings, has got its first blow in the form of opener Imam ul Haq. Bangladesh’s fast bowler Taskin Ahmed took the wicket of Imam Ul Haq. When Imam was out, only 3 runs were added on Pakistan’s score board. Pakistan scored 6 runs for 1 wicket till lunch on the 5th day. From here he has to score 262 more runs in 72 overs.

If you have the guts, now Pakistan has asked you to do it.

When Salman Aga talked about showing bravery, at first glance it seemed like he was playing a mine game with Bangladesh. This can also happen. But Bangladesh seemed to have taken his boastfulness seriously when they declared their second innings at 240 runs for 9 wickets. Now Pakistan’s arrogance weighs heavily on them or they show their strength and write the script of victory as promised in the Dhaka Test. Only time will tell.
