BAN vs PAK 2nd ODI Key Battles:

Mohammad Rizwan vs Nahid Rana

The Bangladesh pacer Nahid Rana produced a brilliant spell in the first ODI, taking 5 wickets for just 24 runs while bowling at speeds above 145 kph and troubling the Pakistan batters with his raw pace.

During that spell, Rana dismissed Mohammad Rizwan for just 10 runs after forcing an edge that was caught behind. Now Rizwan, the most experienced batter in the lineup, will need to find a way to handle Rana’s speed and help Pakistan level the ODI series.

Shaheen Afridi vs Tanzid Hasan

Tanzid Hasan was the hero during Bangladesh’s dominant win over Pakistan in the first ODI. The young opener hit a stunning knock of 67* runs from just 42 balls, hitting 7 fours and 5 big sixes. His fearless batting put Pakistan under huge pressure and helped Bangladesh win the match.

Shaheen Afridi could not stop Tanzid’s attacking shots. As Pakistan’s captain and main strike bowler, the left-arm pacer now needs to bring back his dangerous early swing in the powerplay to break Tanzid’s rhythm in the second ODI on Friday.

Salman Ali Agha vs Mehidy Hasan Miraz

The second ODI will also see an interesting battle between two all-rounders. Mehidy Hasan Miraz played a key role in the first ODI with the ball. The Bangladesh skipper bowled a tight spell and took 3 wickets for 29 runs in his 10 overs.

During that spell, Miraz also removed Salman Ali Agha for just 5 runs. Salman is usually one of Pakistan’s most dependable middle-order batters, so he will aim to attack the spinners in the middle overs and prevent another batting collapse in Dhaka.

Sahibzada Farhan vs Taskin Ahmed

Taskin Ahmed has a strong record against Sahibzada Farhan. In the first ODI, Farhan faltered against Bangladesh’s pace attack and managed to score 27 runs. Taskin bowled a disciplined spell, taking 1 wicket for 29 runs in 7 overs. Their battle will influence the result of the match.
