BAN vs PAK 2nd ODI Key Matches:
Mohammad Rizwan vs Nahid Rana
Bangladesh fast bowler Nahid Rana bowled brilliantly in the first ODI, bowling at a speed of more than 145 kmph, taking 5 wickets for just 24 runs and troubling Pakistan’s batsmen with his fast pace.
During that spell, Rana dismissed Mohammad Rizwan for just 10, caught behind off a ball. Now Rizwan, the most experienced batsman in the lineup, will have to find a way to handle Rana’s pace and help Pakistan level the ODI series.
Shaheen Afridi vs Tanjeed Hasan
Tanjeed Hasan was the hero during Bangladesh’s spectacular win over Pakistan in the first ODI. The young opening batsman played a brilliant inning of 67* runs in just 42 balls with the help of 7 fours and 5 big sixes. His fearless batting put Pakistan under immense pressure and helped Bangladesh win the match.
Shaheen Afridi could not stop Tanzeed’s aggressive shots. As Pakistan’s captain and main strike bowler, the left-arm pacer now needs to bring back his dangerous opening swing in the powerplay to break Tanzeed’s run in the second ODI on Friday.
salman ali aga vs mehdi hassan miraj
There will be an interesting battle between two all-rounders in the second ODI also. Mehdi Hasan Miraj played an important role with the ball in the first ODI. The Bangladesh captain bowled tightly and took 3 wickets for 29 runs in 10 overs.

During that spell, Miraj also dismissed Salman Ali Aga for just 5 runs. Salman is usually one of Pakistan’s most reliable middle-order batsmen, so his aim will be 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 in front of Bangladesh’s fast attack and managed to score 27 runs. Taskin bowled disciplinedly and took 1 wicket for 29 runs in 7 overs. Their fight will affect the outcome of the match.
