DHAKA, Aug 13, 2024 (BSS)-A reckless batting put Bangladesh A in trouble on 
day one of the first four-day game against Pakistan Shaheens (Pakistan A) at 
Islamabad Club Ground today. 

Pakistan star bowler Nasim Shah, who are trying to make a comeback in the 
Test team and Mir Hamza wrecked havoc on Bangladesh A as the visitors were 
bowled out for only 122 after electing to bat first,

Both of the pacers scalped three wickets apiece. Opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy 
was the only to make some resistance, having scored 65 off 194, with the help 
of nine fours.

Mushfiqur Rahim and Mominul Haque, the two senior batter of Bangladesh Test 
team, who took this match as a preparation platform for the upcoming Test 
series against Pakistan, made 14 and 11 respectively.

Rejaur Rahman Raja was the other one to reach double digits apart from the 
trio, scoring 10.

The toss was delayed for three hours due to rain and only 46 overs were 
possible on Day one. Mir Hamza drew the blood first, when he rattled the 
stump of opener Zakir Hasan for duck before Nasim Shah came to the party. 
Nasim took the prized scalp of Mominul and Mushfiqur, making Bangladesh three 
down for 53 runs.

However, despite, Joy's huge resistance, Bangladesh A kept losing wickets at 
regular interval to bowl out for paltry total.

Before the bad light brought a premature end to the day, Pakistan Shaheens 
reached two for no loss in two overs.
