Pak vs Ban: Litton Das Century Saves Bangladesh Batting Order To Be Collapsed: Bangladesh’s Litton Das delivered an inning full of surprises; he rescued the team from the jaws of defeat during an exciting Second Test match between Bangladesh and Pakistan at Rawalpindi. With 26 runs and 6 wickets already down, Litton Das made sure his team was back in the game with his century, which changed fortunes.
Coming out to bat, all the odds were against him, yet Litton countered them with a thoughtful approach that included patience, proper techniques, as well as aggressive play. His knock totaling 138 runs was not aimed at mere survival; instead, it was intended to inspire them against a revitalised bowling unit of Pakistan that had scraped through their own upper and middle order. There were 12 boundaries and 2 sixers recorded for Litton’s innings.

The pivotal moment of Bangladesh’s innings was when Litton was accompanied by Miraz. They put on a seventh-wicket partnership of 165 runs, which is now the highest seventh-wicket partnership for Bangladesh when their total was less than 50. Mehidy Hasan Miraz was able to score 78 runs off 124 balls, which included 12 boundaries and one six, before getting out. His partnership with Litton helped steady things down and gave Bangladesh a fighting chance.
Since Litton was able to get his century, it wasn’t just an individual achievement but rather something that could save the team. Thus, they were able to reach a total of 262, just 12 runs shy of what Pakistan scored in their first inning (274).
