Teams & Format
The format of the series will see the two sides battle in the Test match arena. A Test match is the oldest and longest of the three major formats. A Test lasts up to five days and will see the two sides given two innings with a maximum of 20 wickets split evenly over their two innings.
The object of a Test is to score the most runs in the match. Test match cricket is the ultimate test of durability and concentration. It is often not enough just to be talented or to clear the boundary. Indeed, a player that consistently scores 50+ runs at a strike rate below 100.00 will usually be more valuable than a player that hits a handful of boundaries before giving their wicket away.
Bangladesh arrive for this one knowing they are more than capable of winning the series. The home side have been able to create a team that boasts wicket-taking options with the ball and consistent scorers with the bat.
Meanwhile, Pakistan arrive with an undoubtedly talented team, but consistency has evaded them over the last few years. The tourists boast aggressive fast bowlers, intelligent spinners and solid batters, but one wicket falling has so often resulted in a cluster of players getting out.
With Bangladesh's rise and Pakistan's frailties, this could be an incredibly tight series.
Key Players & Prospects
