BAN vs PAK 2026 2nd Test: After 12 successive losses to Pakistan in Test cricket, Bangladesh have now managed to win three games on the trot in the longest format. The home team will now look to complete their second successive 2-0 whitewash in Tests against Pakistan as they face off in the second game of the series at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium from Saturday.
Bangladesh are already 1-0 up in the series after their massive 104-run win over Shan Masood’s Pakistan – their third successive win after whitewashing them in Pakistan last year. To add to Pakistan’s woes, the International Cricket Council have also docked 40 per cent of the visitor’s match fees as well as massive eight points for maintaining slow over-rate in the first game.

With this sanction, Pakistan are now on four points in the WTC standings, placing them eighth, just above West Indies. “Under Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which deals with minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl within the allotted time,” said the ICC statement on Friday.
Pakistan will, however, be boosted by the return to former captain Babar Azam into the Playing 11 after missing the first Test due to injury. “Babar Azam is available for the next match,” Pakistan head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed told reporters ahead of the second Test.
“We are disappointed after the first Test but the past is the past. We are hopeful. We will bounce back as a team,” he added.

Bangladesh have their share of injury concerns with opener Shadman Islam ruled out while his partner Mahmudul Hasan Joy’s fitness is also being monitored. Tanzim Hasan Tamim is set to make his Test debut in place of Shadman Islam.
Bangladesh wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim wasn’t concerned about Babar Azam returning to the side. “If any individual and such a world-class cricketer like him is in the team, then naturally it will be a boost for them. But when we won 2-0 against Pakistan in Pakistan, he was there too,” Rahim said in the pre-match press conference on Friday.
Pakistan still hold a massive edge in head-to-head record in Test cricket against Bangladesh with 12 wins as compared to only 3 losses but they have been at the receiving end of defeats in their last three games.
