7:52 pm Bangladesh had a tough start with the bat! Their opening batter, Naim Sheikh, got out in the second over trying a fancy shot, playing the lap scoop and gloving it to the keeper. Then, Litton Das gave his wicket away cheaply, and Towhid Hridoy was run out by a great throw from Pakistan's captain while trying for a quick run. And Emon chipped his wicket to mid-on. This meant Bangladesh lost four wickets in the Powerplay, much like Pakistan did in the first match. Mahedi and Jaker then started to rebuild the innings. Mahedi scored a quick 33 runs, and Jaker Ali played a brilliant innings of 55 runs. They managed to get Bangladesh to a decent total of over 130 runs, though it feels like they might be 10-15 runs short on this pitch. Pakistan's bowlers changed their tactics a bit this time, bowling slower, and it paid off. Salman, Daniyal, and Abbas each took two wickets. Stay tuned, Danyal Rasool will be back with more commentary after a short break!

Zed: "That Drop catch by Khushdil added 20 runs to the total"

Sabyasachi Mitr: "Despite hitting 4 sixes, Jaker has scored just above a run a ball." His strike rotation was terrible today, but he did his job with the bat.

Pakistan need 134 runs to win

Abbas Afridi to Jaker Ali, 1 run, OUT, Excellent line and length, width on offer, yorker ball outside off, drills it away down the track to straight of long off, calls for the second run, and goes for it. It was always a tight run for Shoriful, as he started late and was lethargic while going towards the danger zone. Replay confirmed he is well short of his ground, even though he managed to put in a desperate dive at the last moment.
