Match Summary
In the Pak vs Ban 1st T20I, Pakistan’s batting line-up failed to withstand the discipline and sharpness of Bangladesh’s bowling attack. While Fakhar Zaman looked in form with a brisk 44, the rest of the lineup crumbled under pressure. The absence of partnerships and careless running between wickets resulted in three crucial run-outs that further derailed Pakistan’s innings.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, kept things simple in the chase. Parvez Hossain Emon led from the front with his explosive 56* off 39 balls, while Towhid Hridoy provided stable support with a calm 36. The victory was sealed with 27 balls to spare, giving Bangladesh a confident 1–0 lead in the three-match series.
