The Shan Masood-led side, which had already lost the series opener by 10 wickets at the same venue, needed a victory to level the series. However, the hosts once again failed to deliver, resulting in their first-ever Test series loss against Bangladesh.<br \/>This defeat also dealt a blow to Pakistan&#8217;s aspirations of reaching the <!-- -->World Test Championship<!-- --> (WTC) 2025 final.<br \/>Pakistan currently occupy the eighth position in the WTC 2023-25 points table after suffering five consecutive losses. <br \/>Despite the recent setbacks, they still have a chance to qualify for the <!-- -->WTC 2025 final<!-- -->, which is scheduled to be held at Lord&#8217;s in June 2025. <\/p>\n<p>As per WTC rules, the top two teams qualify for the final. <br \/>Despite being whitewashed in their last two Test series, Pakistan still has a chance to finish in the top two. <br \/>However, to achieve this, they must win all the matches in their remaining three series of the current WTC cycle. Additionally, they need to closely monitor the performance of other teams. <br \/>The upcoming challenges for Pakistan include a three-match Test series against England at home, starting on October 7 in Multan, followed by matches in Karachi (October 15-19) and Rawalpindi (October 24-28). <br \/>Subsequently, they will face South Africa in a two-match Test series in December 2024-January 2025 and then host the West Indies for another two-match Test series in January 2025.<\/p>\n<p>If Pakistan manage to secure victories in all seven upcoming Tests, their PCT% will rise from the current 19.05 to 59.52. <br \/>Although they cannot surpass India (68.52 PCT%) and Australia (62.50 PCT%), who currently hold the top two positions in the WTC points table, the upcoming five-match series between these two teams could potentially open up an opportunity for Pakistan to finish in the top two. <br \/>However, if Pakistan fail to win any of the remaining seven Tests, their chances of qualifying will be severely jeopardized, and they may be eliminated from contention.<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
