Rawalpindi: Litton Das scored his fourth Test century to revive Bangladesh’s chances in the ongoing Test match against Pakistan in Rawalpindi, leaving the match poised as Bangladesh seeks to secure a series win. Das’ 138-run innings was crucial in stabilizing his team’s innings after a shaky start, pairing notably with Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who scored 78 runs.
According to International Cricket Council, Das entered the fray with Bangladesh struggling at 26 for 5. His crucial partnership with Miraz and a solid contribution from Hasan Mahmud, who remained not out at 13, brought the game to an even keel. His effort was embellished with 13 fours and four sixes, marking a significant shift in momentum. Despite battling leg cramps, Das managed to put Bangladesh in a position to challenge for a win in this vital ICC World Test Championship match.
Das downplayed his personal achievement and praised his teammates, particularly Miraz and Mahmud, for their roles in the comeback. His innings ranks among his most significant performances, close to his top score of 141 against Sri Lanka in 2022. The day ended with Pakistan at 9 for 2, adding to the match’s intrigue, as Bangladesh looks to capitalize early on the next day with effective use of the new ball.
