By In the ongoing Pak vs Ban 2nd T20I at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, Pakistan’s decision to bowl first after winning the toss has paid off instantly, with their bowlers tearing through the Bangladesh top order. At the end of 5.5 overs, Bangladesh find themselves in deep trouble at 28/4.
The collapse started early as Mohammad Naim was dismissed for just 3 runs in the second over, caught by Mohammad Haris off Faheem Ashraf. While Parvez Hossain Emon and Litton Das tried to stabilize the innings with brief resistance, they couldn’t build on the momentum.
The game turned sharply in the 5th over when Salman Mirza delivered a brilliant double-wicket maiden, including a well-executed run-out by Salman Ali Agha that sent Towhid Hridoy back for 0. Mirza’s line and discipline disrupted the Bangladesh batting rhythm entirely.
To make matters worse for the hosts, debutant Ahmed Daniyal struck in his very first over, removing Emon who had scored 13 off 14 balls. That brought the score to 28/4 in just 5.5 overs, with the Bangladesh dugout visibly shaken.
