Agha, Rizwan Fifties Lift Pakistan From Middle-Order Collapse
Mohammad Rizwan and Agha Salman steadied Pakistan’s innings with a 119-run sixth-wicket partnership after Mehidy Hasan and Taskin Ahmed each claimed two wickets in the morning session. The recovery proved crucial following a middle-order collapse that threatened to derail Pakistan’s batting performance.

Pakistan’s middle order is fundamentally broken. Rizwan and Agha’s 119-run partnership masked a deeper rot: the top six couldn’t handle basic pace bowling conditions. What’s alarming is Rizwan’s workload—he’s now batting rescue specialist rather than captain-leader. That’s unsustainable pressure on one player. Until Pakistan’s selectors rebuild the middle order with proper technique coaches, these partnerships are just band-aids on structural failure.
