The 2-match series starts with Pakistan taking on Bangladesh in the first Test; they hope to continue their winning streak in cricket’s longest format. In red-ball cricket, whenever these two sides meet, it is always Pakistan that prevails. They have played against each other 12 times, and Bangladesh has never won a single match so far as the head-to-head record shows. Bangladesh may take some confidence from their previous win over New Zealand while Pakistan lost to Australia in their last Test tour. The teams’ recent performances have been contrasting though Shan Masood’s men will enter the contest as favorites.
