Sports Desk: Many were watching the fate of the ongoing Bangladesh-Pakistan match in Mirpur as a draw. However, this test, which lost its color due to rain, suddenly came back to life. However, that does not send a positive message to the Bangladesh team. The batsmen of the Bangladesh team have made 'sacrifices' one by one while rushing to fix the wrong shot and score. Unable to understand the value of their wickets, the Tigers lost 6 wickets for 6 runs in the first innings.

On the fourth day, halfway through the second session, Pakistan declared their first innings with 300 runs on the scoreboard. Time like 4 and a half sessions in hand. From here, the chances of the hosts winning the match are slim. The batsmen are pushing the team to the brink of defeat where they have the opportunity to consolidate their personal achievements and batting prowess before the upcoming tour of New Zealand.

Bangladesh finished the fourth day's play with 6 wickets in hand due to lack of light against Pakistan's 300 runs. Shakib Al Hasan (23) and Taizul Islam (23) will start the fifth and final day tomorrow (Wednesday) after trailing Pakistan by 224 runs.

Bangladesh team lost 3 wickets for 22 runs and went to the tea break. Mushfiqur Rahim came to bat with Nazmul Hossain Shantar who was unbeaten on 13 runs. Mushfiqur, who lost his place in the T20 squad against Pakistan, seemed to be in a hurry to score runs at T20 speed today. When the team lost three wickets, he was out to play a slog sweep. He had to be out for 5 runs off 8 balls.

Chittagong Test centurion Liton Das disappointed in the first innings of the Dhaka Test. Coming out of the wicket, he went to hit Sajid Khan and gave a return catch to this leg spinner. Like Mushfiqur, Liton seems to have forgotten that this is not a T20, but a Test version!

Leaving one end behind, the game calmed down and he lost his temper. Once out, he crossed the Sajid leg mark on the ride and survived with the help of no ball. This time it was not the last defense, he fell into the trap of leg before and returned with 30 runs.

Shakib Al Hasan's batting order is a surprise in this match. Although everyone was found in the procession coming and going, Shakib could not be seen. Eventually he landed in the 7th position with the bat. However, Mehedi Hasan Miraj could not accompany him. He became the sixth victim of Sajid. He became bold before opening the run book.

Later, due to lack of light, the game was stopped earlier than scheduled. Bangladesh finished the fourth day with 6 runs for 6 wickets. Shakib Al Hasan (23) and Taizul Islam (23) will start the fifth and final day tomorrow (Wednesday) after trailing Pakistan by 224 runs.
