Bangladesh is looking to seal the three-match T20I series against Pakistan today, with the second game taking place at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.
Series Advantage: Bangladesh Leads 1-0
Bangladesh secured a dominant seven-wicket victory in the first T20I, comfortably chasing down a low target of 111 runs in just 15.3 overs. This commanding performance has given them a significant lead in the series.
The success in the opening match was largely due to the brilliant bowling by Bangladesh’s pacers. Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman were particularly effective, combining to take five wickets and ensuring Pakistan was bundled out for a mere 109 runs. Only Fakhar Zaman (44), Khushdil Shah (17), and Abbas Afridi (22) managed to reach double digits for Pakistan.
