Bangladesh (133) outclass Pakistan (125) by 8 runs to clinch the three-match T20I series 2-0

winning and losing is part of the game. It's the effort, intent, and the attitude which matters the most. Good effort and the intent from the lower order.

good ending to the match but full credit to the Bangladeshis. They deserved the win. Congrats to all our Bangladeshi posters on the site.

Thanks. :dav

To be honest, BD almost lost it. They were too casual during the middle overs when Pakistan were 51/7. Dropped 2 catches; had a few fumbles.

Faheem was superb.

Good series win for BD after beating SL 2-1.

I fully understand that.

But remember fans that do not share the same opinion as you are not all frauds and liars.

You guys should mind your language.

I can't mind my language against indian posters. It is my duty to ensure the Pakistani on this forumn doesnt die.

But I don't recall attacking you though infact it was the opposite, i believeive pinged you as a good poster. If I have attacked you, then apologies.

Out. All over.

Pakistan are all-out for 125.

BD win the game by 8 runs and win the series with a game to go.

little moment can cost huge.50% of this loss should be attributed to Khushdil Shah who let BD batting off the hook. Jaker hit 3 sixes after he was dropped by Khushdil to add up to momentum conceding over he bowled. BD should have never gotten above 110. Congratulations to Bangladesh. Hope we get to see better pitches in BD for t20.

You think this is a pitch thing or because Pakistan is rubbish?

I would like to think this is a pitch thing because many teams lost series in Mirpur.

Australia lost the T20 series 1-4 in Mirpur
NZ lost the T20 series 2-3 in Mirpur
England lost the T20 series 0-3 in Mirpur

South Africa won 2-1 here. They still lost 1 game.

I think it has to do with the pitch. Also, BD know how to utilize this pitch. It suits them.
 
Atleast with Babar, Riz and Shaheen Pakistan were consistently beating mid to low ranking teams , now we are consistently losing against low rank.
 
An exciting rivalry of equals

8th ranked Pakistan and 10th ranked BD.

Cricket is always good when played between teams of similar talent

On flat pitches, Pakistan should murder Bangladesh as we saw in that Pakistan series. As a matter of fact, even associates can beat Bangladesh on flat pitches.

BD need spin tracks to win. They can also win on pace tracks sometimes.

Ireland beat us in series prior to the WC.. then Ireland almost won the wc game too. There is no analogy between Isreal’s atrocities and Justification for exclusion of trio from t20 side. do not over do it. we dnt have Short memories. Babar , Shaheen and Rizwan were engaged in toxic dressing room politics each trying to get one over the other. It cost us in CWC 23 , then spilt over in t20 wc.. it did nt stop.. Rizwan’s batting performance in Aus was dismal , He cost us sydney game. Babar was awful with bat. and then again in SA , Rizwan cost us an easy chase with run a ball fifty.. Babar again failed in series to make any impact. Toxic behaviour coupled with dismal batting performance.
 
Congrats to BD, they beat a very good T20I Pak team and did well to work out a formula to win in a format which is not their best.
 
What the…. I saw a video of a Pak vs Ban match on my YouTube feed. First I thought it was an old match recording, then I thought it was one of those timepass tournaments telecast on YouTube with celebrity players.

An actual international game on YouTube and not any mainstream broadcaster lol 😂 . The vibe, semantics everything looks cheap. It’s sad. I feel ICC should have some basic standards going forward.

Nobody put a gun on your head to watch it. Don't watch. :inti

Go play with your cow.

You probably got a secondary link which was not broadcasting properly. Not the main link. There were quite a few channels.

I saw it from BCB's official YouTube page and it was working fine.

That’s more to do with how bad Bangladesh are away, than Pakistan’s prowess.

We just don’t have the batting to succeed in any form of cricket anymore, sorry to say. Either you have selfish merchants like Babar or Rizwan, or you have these senseless tullaybaaz with bad techniques like Haris, Hassan etc

This is can agree with
 
Salman Ali Agha at the post-match presentation

"I think we could’ve saved around 10 runs in the powerplay, but that’s how the game goes sometimes.

Salman has been outstanding in both games, and Daniyal came in today and bowled really well too.

As a top-order, we need to step up — 15/5 is never ideal. Credit to Faheem for nearly pulling it off; he brought us so close.

But we don’t give up — that’s our identity as a team. We believe we can win from any position, and that’s the belief I want to instill. It was a thriller, and I’d say the fans definitely got their money’s worth."

While I don’t disagree on the decline of Pak cricket quality, I still feel you guys carried away too much from dumb T20 matches. You can’t hype or bring down someone by just T20. I think a little bit of fine tuning in red ball will definitely help.

Team has 11 players last time I checked . Also seriously that’s your point? By the same logic good players have got out for ducks on 700 run type run fests too in tests. All I am saying is Rizwan would have knocked this in his sleep with one hand tied behind his back vs this attack and team.

In these types of pitch, you have to aim for 140-150 score. If you aim for 180+ scores, you will lose. Nonetheless, there is no excuse for 20/5. These low scores are cakewalk for RizBabar.

I have seen 80-110 type scores in Bangladesh too. 120-140 pitches are not too bad. Intact best T20 games are usually in the 140-160 range.

The score was 120

That’s a run a ball.

120 balls

120 runs.

This is a clear example of how Pakistan played recently with Rizwan in the side. The conditions were alien to both India and Pakistan. These conditions are not alien to Bangladesh bowlers. Mustafiz and Tanzid go at 10s in Pakistan…they were unplayable here.

So what is your point again??

Wrong, and I think we have reached a stage where neutral fans are judging Pakistan from a nostalgic perspective. And once this stage comes up, you know things are really bad.

The talent level is insanely bad, and the decisions taken at domestic level five years ago are showing fruits finally. It’s not just dumb T20s, these players are losing everywhere because their peers are constantly getting better and improving themselves and their cricket.

We will lose to associates more often than not aswell, as there’s a certain level of professionalism that has been brought into cricket and our players are really struggling with that. You cannot play with ‘jazba’ ‘badmaashi’ etc anymore, you have to be really good at what your role is and get better at it.

Forget about fine tuning red ball cricket, there is zero talent for longer formats. We will be irrelevant very soon as our players are neither cut out for the format, neither are they interested in playing it anymore.

Bangladesh pitches are not the world

They start, and die in Bangladesh only.
 
Bangladesh sealed the three-match T20I series with an unassailable lead after edging Pakistan by eight runs in the second game at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka, on Tuesday night. The home side successfully defended a modest total of 133, with their pace trio combining for figures of 6 for 55.

Pakistan’s chase faltered early, collapsing to 30 for 6 and then 47 for 7 by the 12th over, as none of their top six batters managed to reach double digits. A fighting half-century from Faheem Ashraf at No.8 kept their hopes alive.

Faheem registered his maiden T20I fifty, scoring 51 off 32 balls with four fours and as many sixes. He brought up the milestone with a six in the penultimate over before being bowled by Rishad Hossain, with Pakistan still needing 13 runs from the final over. Faheem had earlier shared crucial partnerships of 41 runs with Mohammad Abbas Afridi and 33 runs with debutant Ahmed Daniyal for the eighth and ninth wickets respectively.

On debut, Ahmed Daniyal (17 off 11 balls, 3 fours) — Pakistan’s T20I cap No.123 — struck the first ball of the last over for a boundary but was caught at midwicket by Shamim Hossain soon after. Abbas Afridi, who joined Faheem after the fall of Khushdil Shah, contributed a valuable 19 off 13 balls, hitting two fours and a six.

Pakistan’s innings started poorly with the run-out of Saim Ayub, followed by sharp spells from Shoriful Islam (3 for 17) and Tanzim Hasan Sakib (2 for 23), which derailed the chase. Mahedi Hasan also chipped in with key wickets of Salman Ali Agha and Khushdil Shah, as all five Bangladesh bowlers took at least one wicket.

Earlier, after being put in to bat, Bangladesh were reeling at 28 for 4, but a 53-run partnership off 49 balls between Jaker Ali and Mahedi Hasan steadied the innings. Jaker, who was named Player of the Match, top-scored with 55 off 48 balls (1 four, 5 sixes), while Mahedi added 33 off 25 (2 fours, 2 sixes).

Pakistan’s bowling attack struck early with Faheem getting the first breakthrough. Mohammad Salman Mirza delivered a superb double-wicket maiden, with one dismissal being a run-out, while Daniyal claimed his maiden T20I scalp. The stand between Jaker and Mahedi ended in the 14th over when Mohammad Nawaz dismissed both batters, triggering a collapse that saw Bangladesh lose their last six wickets for just 53 runs in 37 balls. Pakistan's Salman Mirza, Daniyal, and Abbas Afridi all finished with two wickets each.
 
I know that you guys like to crap on Babar and Rizwan, something tells me that if they were in the team, the score would not be 47-7 at one point.

But regardless, terrible batting from Pakistan. This is inexcusable in any pitch/condition from a national side team who has won couple of WC and has played for decades
 
Salman Ali Agha at the post-match presentation:

"I think we could’ve saved around 10 runs in the powerplay, but that’s how the game goes sometimes.

Salman has been outstanding in both games, and Daniyal came in today and bowled really well too.

Can we finally end this chapter of Nawaz and kushdil. Faheem has bought himself a few more games with this knock.
 
Pakistan cannot set a decent target or chase a small total.

Batting is atrocious; Predictably weak and inconsistent
 
There is a clear hierarchy in World Cricket right now.

Only 5 teams are worth watching / following

Australia
India
South Africa
New Zealand &
England

The rest are just too inconsistent / not good enough at the moment!

From 2019 one of the above teams has won a major ICC tournament or been in a final, so that does make sense. SA was always consistent but with WTC they have gone ahead too now.

PCT isn’t able to catch a break and seems ro be going downhill continuously, Afghans Lankans Windies are too inconsistent.

BD after seeing that Pakistan is without it's pace bowlers, very cleverly played Pakistan on pitches that benefit pace bowlers. And they won. Don't understand why Pakistan didn't bring it's pacers. Just a couple of pace newbies.
 
Once again Mohd Harris and Mohd Nawaz showed how useless they are. And Hassan Nawaz has no consistency. Saim hasn't regained any form since injury.
 
The results themselves are not as shocking as the manner in which the defeats unfolded and, more crucially, the sheer number of individual failures from Pakistani players across both matches. What’s particularly alarming is how flat and uninspired the performances have been.

Traditionally, major cricketing nations carry with them an intangible yet powerful aura, a psychological edge that often causes smaller teams to falter even when they’re in strong positions. It’s often a mental block for less-established sides, making them second-guess their chances and struggle to close out games. We’ve seen it time and again minnows collapse from winning positions, simply because the weight of the occasion or the opponent proves too overwhelming.

But with Pakistan, that aura seems to have significantly faded. It’s no longer the feared and respected powerhouse it once was. Over the past couple of years, Pakistan has suffered a surprising number of defeats to lower-ranked teams like Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, and even the USA. These aren’t just one-off upsets, they point to a larger pattern. These teams are no longer intimidated by Pakistan. In fact, they now approach games against the men in green with confidence and belief which fires them to even more. Afghanistan and Bangladesh aren’t nearly the same team when they play some other Cricketing powerhouses but against Pakistan they are roaring these days.

When your cricketing identity no longer carries psychological weight, you become just another beatable side and that’s exactly the space Pakistan seems to be occupying at the moment. Reclaiming that aura won’t happen overnight. It will require more than a few tactical changes or cosmetic adjustments. What’s needed is the emergence of serious, world-class cricketing talent, players who can dominate, inspire fear, and restore pride in the shirt.

BD beat SL 2-1 less than a month ago. :inti

Visiting teams often lose in BD. It is not the first time. India also lost series in BD (2015 and 2022).

Calling BD worse than USA shows lack of knowledge and hatred.
