The match has already seen 13 wickets fall in a single day, underlining how lively the pitch has been. Pakistan’s batting collapse on Day 2 was the turning point. Only Babar Azam offered resistance with a fighting half‑century, while Sajid Khan chipped in with 38. The rest of the lineup struggled against disciplined Bangladeshi bowling.
Bangladesh now aim to push their lead beyond 300 runs, which would leave Pakistan with a mountain to climb in the fourth innings. The hosts are confident, while Pakistan need a dramatic turnaround to stay alive in the series.
