Pakistan went into the game with an all-pace attack at home for the first Test which they lost by ten wickets. Their bowling combination could’ve played a factor in the over-rate they maintained for the Test. Bangladesh, on the other hand, had two frontline spinners.

The revised WTC points table now sees Pakistan, second-from-bottom and only behind West Indies, slip from 22 points to 16 points. They hold on to the eighth position with 22.22 percentage points. Bangladesh, who had briefly gone past South Africa to sixth place after their win, have dropped to seventh after their three-point deduction and now have 21 points. They are on 35 percentage points.
