Mirpur ke maidan par Bangladesh ne woh kar dikhaya jo shayad Pakistan ne sapne mein bhi nahi socha tha. Toss jeetkar pehle bowling karne ka faisla Shan Masood ko itna bhari padega, iska andaza unhe tea break tak ho gaya hoga. Najmul Hossain Shanto ne ek aisi innings kheli jisne Pakistan ki pace battery ko mehez ek khilauna bana kar rakh diya. Jab wicket par ghaas ho aur samne Shaheen Afridi jaisa bowler ho, tab aisi batting karna kisi prophecy se kam nahi hai.
The Inner Story: Shanto Aur Mominul Ki Dadagiri
Match ki shuruat mein jab Bangladesh ka score 31 par 2 tha, tab laga ki Pakistan aaj koshish karega ki kuch izzat bach jaye. Lekin phir shuru hua Najmul Hossain Shanto aur Mominul Haque ka show. Dono ne milkar teesre wicket ke liye 170 runs ki aisi partnership kari jisne Pakistan ke har plan ko fail kar diya. Shanto ne 101 runs banakar apna 9th Test Hundred poora kiya aur dikha diya ki dominance kise kehte hain. Unhone Noman Ali jaise spinners ko aade haathon liya aur unhe set hone ka mauka tak nahi diya.
Doosri taraf Mominul Haque ne 64 runs ki unbeaten innings khelkar deewar ki tarah khade rahe. Pakistan ki kismat itni kharab thi ki jab Mominul Haque ka edge laga, tab slips mein Salman Agha aur debutant Abdullah Fazal ek dusre ka mooh dekhte reh gaye aur catch drop ho gaya. Pakistan ki pace bowling mein woh dhaar bilkul gayab dikhi jiski wajah se Mirpur ki green surface par bhi Bangladesh ke batters ko koi darr nahi laga. Session ke aakhri over mein Mohammad Abbas ne Shanto ko out zaroor kiya, lekin tab tak nuksaan ho chuka tha.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Pakistan ki bowling line-up mein na woh speed hai aur na hi woh dimaag jo aisi pitches ka fayda utha sake. Green-top par bowling choose karke khud hi fans gaye hain Shan Masood. Shanto ne dikha diya hai ki agar aapke paas patience hai toh aap Pakistan ke kisi bhi bowler ko thaka sakte hain. Agar Pakistan ne agle session mein jaldi wickets nahi nikale, toh Bangladesh is match ko unke haath se bahut door le jayega. It is purely a captaincy and execution failure from the visitors.
