The second test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh is being played in Rawalpindi. After the first day of the test match was washed out by rain, Pakistan's first innings on the second day was reduced to 274 runs. In this, 3 of its batsmen scored half centuries, including captain Shan Masood. But, after this, when Bangladesh came out to bat, a scene of Pakistan's fielding was seen which will make you laugh. 3 Pakistani players together could not catch a single catch. Seeing their efforts, it seemed as if they were catching a chicken and not a ball.
Pakistan could have given a jolt to Bangladesh on the very first ball of their innings.
But, this could not happen. This is because Saud Shakeel, Sam Ayub and Babar Azam could not capitalize on the opportunity to take the catch which was made by Mir Hamza.Mir Hamza has been included in Pakistan's playing eleven in place of Shaheen Afridi for the second Test. Mir Hamza understood the importance of this opportunity and tried his best to capitalize on it by making the Bangladeshi batsman commit a mistake on his very first ball of the match.
But, he was disappointed as he did not get support from any of his three teammates one after the other.On the second day of the match, Mir Hamza's first ball took the edge of Bangladeshi batsman Shadman Islam's bat and went towards Saud Shakeel standing in the slip. When the ball slipped from Shakeel's hands, it seemed that Sam Ayub would catch it. But, what is this, Babar Azam also jumped in an attempt to catch that ball. But, sadly, none of the three could catch the ball. This happened when it was not even a difficult catch.
But, perhaps this is also the reason for which Pakistan's fielding is famous all over the world.Pakistan Cricket Heritage pic.twitter.com/19j9XfapYr

After that lifeline given by Pakistan, Bangladesh scored 10 runs without losing any wicket at the end of the second day's play.
In the third day's play, Pakistani bowlers have dominated the Bangladeshi batsmen from the beginning. But, during this time, another example of Pakistan's poor fielding was seen. This time too, the catch was missed on Mir Hamza's ball. This happened on the first ball of the 5th over of Bangladesh's first innings when Abrar Ahmed dropped the catch. In cricket, it is said that catch the catch and win the match. But, if Pakistan keeps dropping catches like this, then it will not be surprising if a match is lost from its hands.
