Pakistan Team Performance:
- Heavy starts by the first inning. Pakistan shared a good total of 448-6 declared, with unbeaten 171 by Mohammad Rizwan show casing their opening strength.
- As a response towards it, Pakistan’s batting failed to sustain in the second inning as they were dismissed for just 146 and top-order failed to tackle Bangladesh’s spinners, especially Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
- Although the bowling line-up of Pakistan did a great job in the first innings, the bowlers of Pakistan could not restrict Bangladesh to a mere 565, primarily because Naseem Shah took 3 wickets but failed to level the momentum.
Bangladesh Team Performance
- Batting for Bangladesh team was more prominent and became focused on Mushfiqur Rahim’s 191. They exploited the Pakistan bowlers and went beyond a winning total of 565.
- Bowling Brilliance Bangladesh bowling was clinical against Pakistan in the second innings with Mehidy Hasan Miraz taking 4-21 and restricting them down at 146 thereby making it easy to chase.
- Confident Chase Bangladesh chased down the match without losing a single wicket making it show their grip and composure as they sealed the match.
Conclusion
In a thriller of a match, Bangladesh overwhelm Pakistan with almost an invincible effort. When Pakistan batted in the first innings and played very solidly, Bangladesh responded strongly under Mushfiqur Rahim with his 191, before their bowlers-lead by Mehidy Hasan Miraz-since cleaned up Pakistan so comprehensively that only a straight-forward 30-run chase could seal a match Bangladesh had been in control of. The comprehensive victory here underscores the consistency and strength that is building up in Bangladesh while it will be a different story, given Pakistan’s second innings meltdown and weakness in bowling.
