So that will be that on today's game. Bangladesh has started the series on a winning note, continuing their winning momentum from the last series. However, the games will come thick and fast in this series as these two teams again go head-to-head on Tuesday, 22nd July, at 12 PM GMT. Join us early for the pre-match analysis as we build up to the game. Until then, take care, and cheers!
Litton Das, the skipper of Bangladesh, says that they know how the wicket plays here and it isn't easy to bat on, but they did well with the bat. He reckons that there was some dew in the second innings, but they bowled extremely well earlier on. Adds that there will be good days and bad days, and they know how well Mustafizur Rahman can execute on this ground, and applauds the other bowlers and even the fielders who did well. Mentions that in the last 2-3 matches, their top four have managed to bat for a prolonged period of time and reckons that Tawhid Hridoy is now an experienced campaigner and is happy with the way Parvez Hossain Emon played.
Parvez Hossain Emon is the Player of the Match. On his knock, he says he is happy with his knock as it helped the team win the game. He adds that he and Hridoy looked to stay positive from the word go and kept on finding the fence at regular intervals. On being asked about his boundaries, he says he indeed enjoys hitting the big hits.
Salman Agha, the captain of Pakistan, says that they didn't have enough runs on the board. He reckons that they started well and just kept on losing wickets and will sit down and have a chat before the next game. Adds that in Bangladesh, you hardly get a good batting wicket, but it is about adjusting to the conditions. Mentions that his bowlers bowled well and they just didn't have enough runs on the board. Adds that T20 has plenty of ebbs and flows, and they will focus on the next game.
The Presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, Pakistan was bundled out for a paltry score of 110 as the visitors couldn't quite get going with the bat. To make matters worse, there were two run-outs in their innings, which pretty much summed up their day with the bat today. Only two Pakistani batters from the top 7 got into double digits as the rest of their specialist batters fell like a pack of cards. Fakhar Zaman did play well for his 44 but got run out in an unlucky fashion. And after that, the only saving grace with the bat for Pakistan was the partnership between Khushdil Shah and Abbas Afridi of 33 runs, which ensured the Pakistani total crossed the 100-run mark. Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed got 5 wickets between them as they used their slower deliveries to good effect. The former, in fact, finished with superb figures of 4-0-6-2.
Both Parvez Hossain Emon and Tawhid Hridoy were cautious to start with, but as they got their eye in, both cashed in and kept on getting the boundaries at regular intervals. Tawhid Hridoy survived twice in his knock of 36, once on 10 when Abrar Ahmed put down a tough catch at deep third man and then on 30 as Mohammad Haris dropped a simple catch behind the sticks. Mohammad Haris didn't have a great day behind the stumps as he dropped one more chance towards the fag end of the game of Parvez Hossain Emon. For Pakistan, except for the debutant,  Salman Mirza's 2-fer, there weren’t any positives with the ball as their bowlers tried to defend an under-par total of 110.
A CONVINCING VICTORY FOR THE HOME SIDE AS THEY GO 1-0 UP IN THIS THREE-MATCH SERIES. The hosts got off to a stuttering start in the chase, as they lost two quick wickets inside three overs, with the debutant Salman Mirza plucking out Tanzid Hasan and Litton Das. However, that was the only saving grace for the Pakistan team, because after that, Parvez Hossain Emon and Tawhid Hridoy stitched together a match-winning 73-run stand, as Pakistani bowlers didn’t have many answers.

Salman Mirza To Jaker Ali
FOUR! Well, Jaker Ali gave Parvez Hossain Emon a chance at the big finish but he won't do it again. Short of a length and over off, Jaker hangs back and just leans further back before pulling it up and over wide mid on for a boundary to end proceedings in style. BANGLADESH WIN BY 7 WICKETS!

Salman Mirza To Parvez Hossain Emon
EDGED AND PUT DOWN! Mohammad Haris has spilled a regulation catch and Parvez Hossain Emon almost gets out in an anti-climactic way. Top line and length from Salman Mirza, bowling it on off and getting the ball to shape away ever so slightly. Emon pushes at it and gets an outside edge but Haris fumbles it a couple of times before dropping it.

A slower googly now, turning in from outside off, Ali waits back and taps it to point.

Abrar Ahmed To Jaker Ali
Tossed up outside off, Jaker leans across and pushes it gently to cover-point. It seems like Jaker is going to allow Parvez Hossain Emon to finish things off. A good deed but probably a bit unnecessary as well.

Abrar Ahmed To Jaker Ali
Very full and around off, Ali jams it off the toe end of the bat and back towards the bowler.

Abrar Ahmed To Parvez Hossain Emon
Shorter in length and over middle and leg, Parvez Hossain Emon looks to muscle the pull but mistimes it through square leg for one.

Abrar Ahmed To Parvez Hossain Emon
The googly now, tossed up around middle, dips as well. Emon goes for the hard sweep but misses and wears it on the pads. An appeal and given and Parvez Hossain Emon nearly reviewed it even before the umpire's finger went up. Didn't seem to be any bat involved, so Emon must be convinced that this is going over the stumps. The third umpire is called in. UltraEdge is checked first and there is a flat line when the ball is next to the bat. Ball Tracking shows that the ball is going over the stumps and the decision is reversed. NOT OUT and an excellent review from Emon.

Faheem Ashraf To Parvez Hossain Emon
FOUR! Oh, this is carnage from Parvez Hossain Emon! He wants to finish it off in a hurry. 19 off the over. And now Bangladesh needs only 7 to get over the line. Again, the pace off delivery from Faheem Ashraf, that lands on a length, on middle and off, Parvez Hossain Emon is deep in his crease waiting for it as he swipes across the line and sends this delivery one bounce over the deep mid-wicket fence for a boundary.

Faheem Ashraf To Parvez Hossain Emon
SIX! What power from Parvez Hossain Emon! He brings up his 50 with that hit. With that shot, 100 is also up for Bangladesh. Pace off delivery, on a length, on middle, Parvez Hossain Emon picks it up and plays the pull shot, which goes just over the leaping deep mid-wicket fielder for a six.

Faheem Ashraf To Parvez Hossain Emon
FOUR! Hammered! Faheem Ashraf lands it on hard length, outside off, Parvez Hossain Emon stays still in his crease and flat bats it over mid off for four.

Slower bouncer around off, Jaker Ali plays the tennis forehand smash into the ground towards the leg side and picks up a single.

Faheem Ashraf To Jaker Ali
FOUR! Everything is going Bangladesh's way! A tad short and wide outside off, Jaker Ali swings wildly at it and gets a thick outside edge that runs fine of the deep third man fielder, who runs to his left to cut it off but the ball beats him and hits the ropes.

Abbas Afridi To Jaker Ali
FOUR! Jaker Ali is off and running! Back of a length, outside off, enough width on offer. Jaker cuts it wide of the deep third man fielder who runs to his right and puts in a slide but fails to save the boundary.
Jaker Ali is the new batter in. A bit of a hold-up in play as there seems to be an issue with the stumps and the stump mic, which gets fixed soon enough.

Abbas Afridi To Tawhid Hridoy OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! Abbas Afridi finally has his man! Fuller and moving into the right-hander, on middle, Tawhid Hridoy goes for a slog across the line, the ball sneaks through the bat pad gap to crash into the middle stump.

Abbas Afridi To Tawhid Hridoy
Length ball that skids off the surface. The line is on middle, Hridoy looks to swipe across the line and is beaten by the quickness off the surface as the ball hits him high on the back pad. A bit of an appeal for LBW, but that must have been high. Tawhid Hridoy is in a bit of pain there.
