The second Test between Bangladesh and Pakistan comes with plenty at stake after Bangladesh's historic win in the series opener in Dhaka. Bangladesh beat Pakistan by 104 runs to register their first-ever Test victory over Pakistan at home. This gave them a major boost in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 standings.
The win helped Bangladesh climb to sixth place in the WTC points table, overtaking Pakistan, who slipped to seventh. Both teams now have one win each from three matches in the ongoing cycle. But Bangladesh are ahead due to a better points percentage after suffering only one loss compared to Pakistan's two losses. Bangladesh currently have a PCT of 44.44, just behind India's 48.15, while Pakistan are at 33.33.

With Pakistan trailing 0-1 in the series, the visitors will be under pressure to win the second Test and avoid a series defeat against subcontinent rivals Bangladesh.
