Pakistan beat Bangladesh by 4 wickets
That is it from the coverage of this game, folks! The second T20I of the series will be played on 20th November 2021 at the same venue. That game will begin at 2 pm local (8 am GMT) but you can join us in advance for the build-up. Cheers!
Babar Azam, the winning captain of Pakistan, says that the pitch was difficult to bat on and credits the middle order for showing the skill-set required to adapt. Also praises Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz for their batting. Admits that they ended up giving 20 runs extra but he is still happy with the overall performance.
HASAN ALI IS THE PLAYER OF THE MATCH! Smiles and says that it's a pleasant moment for him. Admits that his performance was not up to the mark in the T20 World Cup but adds that ups and downs are a part of a cricketer's life. Shares that he has been here in the Bangladesh Premier League and knew the conditions. Adds that he trusted his variations and got the wickets.
Mahmudullah, the captain of Bangladesh, says that they chose to bat first as it was a good pitch but there was some help for the bowlers as well. Feels that they should have batted better and hopes to bounce back with better plans in the next game. Adds that a score of 140 would have been more competitive. Tells that his bowlers did a great job to pick early wickets but credits Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz for the way they finished the chase.
Presentation to follow...
After a sorry effort with the bat, Bangladesh got the start they desired with the ball. They dismissed Pakistan's in-form batsman Mohammad Rizwan very early in the innings, courtesy a beauty by Mustafizur Rahman. Their skipper Babar Azam did not stick too long either and was sent back to the pavilion. The Tigers did well to keep a tight lid on the scoring rate and kept on building the pressure. They were on top in the game after dismissing Fakhar Zaman and Khushdil Shah but were blown away by some power hitting towards the end. A great fight shown by Bangladesh and they surely will try to level the series in the next one.
It was a very unusual start from Pakistan with the bat. They lost both their openers cheaply and ended up losing four wickets in total inside the Powerplay. Fakhar Zaman and Khushdil Shah set the tone in the middle for Pakistan and guided the innings gradually with their 56-run alliance. But it was the partnership between Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz that took Pakistan to the finish line with their pinch-hitting at the death. The duo put on an unbeaten 36-run stand off just 15 balls to take Pakistan home in the final over.
What a game of cricket! A match full of twists and turns, but it was Pakistan with the last laugh. They take the lead in the three-match T20I series. Bangladesh started off beautifully but gave it away in the end. The Tigers stretched this till the last over but Pakistan stole the show in the end.

Mustafizur Rahman To Shoaib Malik OUT!
OUT! Bizarre run out! Lazy, very lazy from an experienced campaigner. A length ball, on off, Malik defends it under his eyes and the ball rolls back to the keeper off the under-edge. Nurul Hasan picks up the ball and has a shy at the striker's end. He finds the stumps and at the same time, Malik is seen to be plonking his bat down inside the crease. Is he gone? Bangladesh are confident, they are appealing and the square leg umpire refers it upstairs. The replays roll in, it's touch and go. The third umpire watches two angles and in both the frames, it appears that one of the bails has come off before the bat is grounded. OUT flashes on the giant screen and the crowd goes mad. At the end of the Powerplay, Pakistan are tottering at 24/4, needing 104 more for a win.
A run out decision has been sent upstairs! Shoaib Malik looks to be in a spot of bother and the players of Bangladesh are confident as they think that they have got rid of Malik here!

On a length, on off. Zaman solidly blocks it out.
Shoaib Malik walks out to bat at number 5.
Review time! Haider Ali has opted for a review after getting adjudged LBW. Huge moment in this game! Has he got any bat on it? It does not seem so! The UltraEdge confirms it as well. The Ball Tracker indicates three reds and Haider Ali is in trouble!

Mahedi Hasan To Haider Ali OUT!
OUT! LBW! That looked plumb to the naked eye! It's tossed up, full and around off. Haider Ali gets on his knee and tries to sweep but misses and is hit on the back thigh. They appeal confidently and up goes the finger straightaway. After consulting with his fellow partner, Haider takes the review. UltraEdge shows no bat but the Ball Tracker shows three reds and Haider Ali has to walk back without troubling the scorers.

Taskin Ahmed To Babar Azam OUT!
OUT! CHOPPED ON! Well, Babar Azam did get a lifeline but failed to capitalize on it. A length ball, around off, this one comes back in. Babar Azam tries to steer it late towards third man but the ball is too close to work it down. Ends up getting an inside edge and chops it back onto the stumps. Both the openers are back in the hut very early - something Pakistan are not used to. 106 runs needed in 96 balls.

This one shoots off the surface. 143 clicks. A short ball, around off. Azam looks to pull but misses. The keeper does well to collect this one with a jump. The replays, later on, show that there was an outside edge. No one appealed, oh dear! An opportunity missed.

Mustafizur Rahman To Mohammad Rizwan OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! A proper inswinger from Mustafizur Rahman and Mohammad Rizwan has no answers to it. A length ball at 129.7 kph, shaping back in sharply from around off. Mohammad Rizwan looks to play at it from the back foot but gets beaten on the inside edge and the ball sneaks through to rattle the off stump. The crowd is pumped and so is Mustafizur Rahman.
