Pakistan Tour of Bangladesh 2021-22, 1st Test Match, Nov 26-30
Bangladesh is having a hard time on and off the pitch. They were the team to watch in the last T20 world cup after beating Australia and New Zealand in their home series but from the beginning of the T20 campaign, the Tigers lost their way and started performing very poorly. The poor performance continues in this series also. The Tigers already lost their first two T20 matches. So the Tigers will lack the confidence to go and perform well in the test matches against Pakistan and also their record against Pakistan in Test matches is also very bad.
Bangladesh has played eleven Test matches against Pakistan and they have won none of them. The most successful result for them is a Draw in 2015. In the last five matches between the two sides, Pakistan went on to win 4 of them.
