Pakistan wins T20 series at home after 3 years

The second Twenty20 cricket match between Bangladesh and Pakistan ended in Lahore yesterday with a brilliant 57-run victory for the Pakistan team. Accordingly, with one more match remaining, the Pakistan team managed to record a 2-0 victory in the series. It is also noteworthy that Pakistan won a T20 series at home after 3 years.

The Pakistan team, which won the toss, batted first and scored 201 runs. Sahibzada Farhan, who played a brilliant innings, scored 74 runs in 41 balls. Hasan Nawaz scored 51 (26). Bangladesh, who came out to chase the target, batted very poorly and were all out for 144 in 19 overs. The only responsible innings from them was from Tanzim Hasan Sakib, who scored 50 runs off 31 balls, his maiden T20 half-century.
Abrar Ahmed took 3 wickets for 19 runs.

Meanwhile, the most notable incident in the match was when two Bangladeshi fielders tried to stop the ball from going towards the boundary after Sahibzada hit a ball from Hasan Mahmud in the fourth over of Pakistan’s innings. However, their efforts were thwarted and it turned out to be a four.
