Bangladesh is poised for a historic Test series win over Pakistan, needing just 143 runs to win the second Test. Zakir Hasan’s aggressive batting and the dominant bowling performance by Bangladesh’s young pace attack have put them in a commanding position. Despite rain interrupting play on day four, Bangladesh remains in a strong position to secure a memorable victory on day five.
Pittsburgh Pirates manager Derek Shelton’s strategic move to place veteran Andrew McCutchen in the leadoff position has sparked the team to two consecutive wins against the Milwaukee Brewers. Since assuming the leadoff role, McCutchen has registered five hits in eight at-bats and launched a home run in each of the first two innings of the series. Pittsburgh now seeks to secure a series victory for the first time since early April when they face the Brewers again on Wednesday.
