Ban vs Pak, 2nd Test – Khurram Shahzad calls Litton Das ‘extremely lucky’ after century

“We bowled them out under 300, and this pitch is different to Dhaka,” Shahzad stated after the top of play. “I think it’ll still be quite good for batting. There were cracks and even bounce there. Here, there is not so much and we’ll try to score 400-450.”

Similarly on Saturday, Pakistan’s incision abandoned them as Bangladesh started to pile on the runs, with 162 runs added by the final 4 wickets. A pivotal second got here when Shahzad bowled Litton, then on 52, a bouncer he gloved by way of to Mohammad Rizwan. A muffled attraction from Pakistan was adopted by a choice to not use the final overview they’d left. UltraEdge confirmed a spike when it handed by way of his gloves, giving Litton a reprieve that noticed him add an additional 74 runs.

Shahzad known as Litton “extremely lucky.” “We were unlucky to miss that review,” he stated. “If we’d got him out then, the results would have been totally different. But it’s part of the game and partnerships can happen. Sometimes it happens that you let momentum go and don’t get the lower order out. If Litton had got out at that stage, I think we’d have bowled them out for 200.”

Shahzad rebutted strategies Pakistan had given method to passivity within the area because the wicket-taking menace started to fizzle out. “We bowled him a few bouncers. Two chances were created off my bowling, including that catch we didn’t review and that chance that was dropped at square leg. We did attack, but when you attack, you concede runs as well. As for the field setting, that’s according to the situation.”
