Pakistan vs Bangladesh are currently positioned at opposite ends of the WTC standings. With one victory in four Test matches, the former are ranked eighth, while Pakistan, who have played five matches, are ranked sixth after winning two and losing three.
Bangladesh is scheduled to embark on a brief tour to Pakistan, which might significantly boost their World Test Championship rankings.
Two Test matches are scheduled for the visit; the first is scheduled to begin on August 21 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium and the second on August 30 at the same location. The second Test was originally scheduled to take place in Karachi, but because of ongoing construction at the site in advance of the Champions Trophy 2025, it was shifted to Rawalpindi.
