In a thrilling turn of events at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Litton Das came through with a match-winning performance for Bangladesh. A brilliant 138-run innings from him has brought life into the second Test of Bangladesh against Pakistan and has become the headline worldwide. This dazzling display of skill and grit not only saved Bangladesh from a precarious position but set the stage for a thrilling finish to the Test.
Litton Das’ Heroic 138 Turns the Tide for Bangladesh
Bangladesh seemed to fold up when they were reduced to 26/5. The team was reeling under a ruthless Pakistani attack as it seemed to cope with the onslaught. Enter Liton Das: excellent batting skills, the catalyst in an incredible fightback that helped Bangladesh reach a decent first-inning total of 262 in reply to Pakistan’s 274.
The recovery of Bangladesh was orchestrated through the partnership between Litton and Mehidy Hasan Miraz as they stitched a vital 165-run stand for the seventh wicket. The partnership was all about resilience and technique as Litton’s 138 came off 228 balls, laced with 13 fours and four sixes. Mehidy was equally contributing with a well-made 78 before getting out.
Litton’s heroics were not a one-man act, as he was adequately supported by Hasan Mahmud, who was rock-solid at the other end. They added 69 runs for the ninth wicket. This stand added crucial runs to the board and helped Bangladesh reach a competitive total. Hasan Mahmud played calmly and staidly, allowing Litton to express himself.
Day three saw Pakistan resume their second innings with a lead of only 21 runs, but one that was not particularly easy against the Bangladeshi bowlers. Hasan Mahmud struck early as he removed Abdullah Shafique and Khurram Shahzad to reduce Pakistan to 9/2.
Litton’s Departure
All the hard work by Litton finally came to an end as he fell to a catch by Saim Ayub off Salman Ali Agha’s bowling. Though his innings ended dismissively, he had already done much damage. The departure of Litton came after a painstaking 228-ball stay at the crease, which had given Bangladesh the hope and the runs they were desperately seeking.
Litton Das’ innings was the highlight of the day. With his 138, he became the visitor in this Test, steering Bangladesh from disaster. Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s 78 was a critical assist, while Hasan Mahmud’s partnership with Litton added another 69 runs for the ninth wicket. As far as Pakistan is concerned, their knocks were marked by the half-centuries of Shan Masood, Saim Ayub, and Salman Ali Agha. Still, they now have an uphill task ahead to make use of this slender lead effectively.
The magical innings by Litton Das have changed the dimension of the match, showing his fantastic talent and determination. Bangladesh’s fight-back in this Test has set up a thrilling finale, and the cricketing world is in for a treat.
