Bangladesh Clinch Historic T20I Series Win Over Pakistan In Dhaka Thriller
Bangla National Stadium: Bangladesh secured their maiden T20I series with a dramatic win over Pakistan, edging out the visitors by eight runs in a tense second match at a packed Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Tuesday. The hosts, buoyed by a composed bowling display and a late batting charge, now hold an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Defending 134, Bangladesh’s pacers – Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, and Tanzim Hasan Sakib – rose to the occasion with a disciplined bowling performance that rocked Pakistan’s top order. The visitors crumbled to a shocking 15/5 – their lowest score after losing five wickets in a T20I – within the first five overs.
Shoriful, playing in place of Taskin Ahmed, was particularly lethal, dismissing Mohammad Haris and Fakhar Zaman early. Tanzim’s double strike in the fifth over further derailed the chase as he removed both Nawazs – Hasan and Mohammad – in consecutive deliveries.
