9:35 pm Pakistan will be pretty happy with their total, even though they might feel they're about 10-15 runs short of a par score. Bangladesh, on the other hand, had a dream start with the ball! Saim Ayub was gone for a golden duck, chipping it straight back to the bowler. Both of Pakistan's openers were back in the pavilion within the first two overs. But then, Haris and Salman launched a brilliant counterattack, smashing three boundaries in consecutive overs off Shoriful and Mahedi. Salman Agha played a superb innings, reaching his third T20I fifty before falling for 56 off 34 balls, gently chipping a harmless full toss to extra cover. Hasan Nawaz chipped in with a handy 44 off just 22 balls at a strike rate of 200. And then, the death overs belonged to Shadab and Faheem, especially Shadab, who smacked the ball all around the park to score a vital 48 runs off 25 balls. Bangladesh's fielding was a bit sloppy today, with a few dropped catches and misfields that cost them. However, all six of their bowlers managed to pick up wickets, with Shoriful bagging two. We'll be back shortly for the run chase after a quick break!

AL Nurain : "Not happy with Liton's field placing and bowling changes. Don't know why he persisted with Rishad even though he was getting hammered all around."

Jane: "@Shariar: judging by the relative economy rates of some of the options, Litton certainly seems to have made Shoriful choice for the bowler of the last over"

Awais: "Considering the last 5 out of 6 psl games in lahore that were around 200 runs were chased... seems like a barely par score. Should be a good contest."

Safeer: "Awesome recovery from Pakistan. That's it, that's the comment :)"

Bangladesh need 202 runs to win
