Bangladesh adds 5 runs in the 16th over, with Shamim Hossain continuing his fight on 30 from 23 balls. Tanzim Hasan Sakib contributes 4 from 6 deliveries, helping to keep the scoreboard moving. Saim Ayub maintains pressure from the bowling end, completing his over for just 5 runs and two wickets so far. With 60 runs needed from the final four overs, Bangladesh faces a steep climb, relying heavily on Hossain to accelerate the innings and give his side a competitive total. Pakistan remain firmly in control of the match.

Bangladesh struggles to build any momentum, managing just 5 runs in the 14th over while losing another wicket. Tanzim Hasan Sakib is yet to get off the mark, and Shamim Hossain remains the lone fighter on 17 from 16 balls. With 63 runs needed off 36 balls, the required run rate has jumped to 10.50, putting immense pressure on the lower order. Pakistan’s Saim Ayub and Mohammad Nawaz continue to dominate with tight lines and smart field placements, making the chase increasingly difficult for Bangladesh.

Bangladesh’s chase struggles as they reach 68/5 after 13 overs, with Jaker Ali scoring 4 off 7 balls and Shamim Hossain holding the innings on 13 from 13. Mohammad Nawaz and Saim Ayub have applied pressure with tight bowling, conceding just 20 runs between them and picking up one wicket. With 68 needed from 42 balls, the required run rate has climbed to 9.71, making the task increasingly difficult. Pakistan’s chances of victory stand high at around 75%, while Bangladesh now relies heavily on a late-order counterattack to make the target achievable.

Bangladesh reaches 62/4 after 11 overs, needing 74 from 54 balls with the required run rate climbing to 8.22. Shamim Hossain (12 off 11) and Nurul Hasan (16 off 18) are trying to rebuild the innings after early losses. Mohammad Nawaz and Abrar Ahmed have bowled tightly, picking up a wicket and restricting boundaries, keeping Pakistan in control. While the middle order faces pressure, a quick 30-40 run partnership could reignite the chase. Current probability favors Pakistan at around 68%, but Bangladesh still has chances if their hitters find the gaps and accelerate quickly.

Bangladesh finds itself in a precarious position at 49/4 after nine overs, needing 87 from 66 balls with the required run rate climbing close to 8. Shamim Hossain and Nurul Hasan try to stabilize the innings, but Pakistan’s disciplined attack, led by Saim Ayub and Mohammad Nawaz, has controlled the scoring. With four wickets down and the pressure mounting, Pakistan’s win probability has surged to over 75%, reflecting their dominance. Unless the middle order accelerates with smart partnerships, Bangladesh faces an uphill battle to chase down 136 in this high-stakes Asia Cup encounter.

After seven overs, Bangladesh finds itself in a precarious position at 38/3, needing 98 runs from 78 balls. The top-order collapses, with Nurul Hasan (8 off 9) and Mahedi Hasan (7 off 6) attempting to rebuild, but the asking rate has already climbed above 7.5. Pakistan’s bowlers, especially Haris Rauf and Abrar Ahmed, have executed disciplined lines and lengths, keeping the pressure on. Statistically, chasing 136 in T20Is with three wickets down inside the powerplay reduces Bangladesh’s win probability to around 35-40%, emphasizing the importance of a strong middle-order partnership. Any further wicket could tilt the match decisively in Pakistan’s favor.

Haris Rauf strikes immediately, dismissing Saif Hassan for 18 off 15 balls. A leading-edge catch to Saim Ayub puts Pakistan firmly in control, leaving Bangladesh reeling at 29/3.

With Afridi and Rauf operating in tandem, Pakistan’s bowlers are keeping the pressure high. Bangladesh will now need a composed partnership to steady the innings and chase the target of 135.

Bangladesh reach 23/1 after four overs, scoring 10 runs in the fourth over alone. Saif Hassan leads the charge with 18 off 14 balls, including a SIX and a FOUR, showing positive intent despite early pressure. Towhid Hridoy remains steady on 5 (8b).

Haris Rauf’s pace is evident, with a delivery reaching 144.9kph for a wicket-saving miss, but Hassan capitalizes on short and wide balls, punishing them over backward point and deep square leg. Pakistan still have control with Afridi and Rauf maintaining tight lines, but Bangladesh have started to claw back, keeping the required run rate manageable at 7.06.

Bangladesh have stumbled in the early stages, posting just 9/1 after two overs. Saif Hassan, steady at the crease, has managed 8 off 8, while Towhid Hridoy chipped in with a single run. Pakistan’s Faheem Ashraf bowled a tight first two overs, creating pressure and forcing the early wicket.

With Shaheen Shah Afridi and Taskin Ahmed yet to bowl, Pakistan’s pace attack looks well poised to exploit any early movement on the Dubai pitch. Bangladesh will need a solid partnership to stabilize. If they don’t rebuild quickly, chasing even a modest total could become a steep challenge.

Pakistan’s innings in the do-or-die clash against Bangladesh could be neatly divided into two contrasting phases. In the first 10 overs, they struggled against disciplined bowling, managing just 46/4 with six boundaries, showing vulnerability at the top.

The last 10 overs, however, saw a remarkable revival. The lower order fired on all cylinders, adding 89 runs for the remaining wickets, including three boundaries and five towering sixes. Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Nawaz, and Mohammad Haris were instrumental in lifting the total to a more competitive 135/8, giving Pakistan something to defend in the final overs.

Pakistan, batting first, managed a modest 135/8 in their allotted 20 overs against Bangladesh at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Mohammad Nawaz started the 18th over with a spectacular six off Taskin Ahmed, smashing the ball over deep square leg. However, his innings came to an end in the same over as he went straight up and was caught by Parvez Hossain Emon. Nawaz finished with 25 runs from 15 balls, including a four and two sixes, giving Pakistan a late boost before his dismissal.

Mohammad Haris tried to smash Mahedi Hasan back over the bowler, but Hasan made no mistake this time. Haris was caught and bowled for 31 off 23 balls, ending his entertaining innings that included two fours and a six.

On the fifth ball of the 16th over, Tanzim Hasan Sakib bowled to Mohammad Nawaz, who managed to sneak in 2 runs after a massive mix-up between the batters. Pakistan survive unscathed despite the confusion.

At the end of 16 overs, Pakistan have scored 94 for the loss of six wickets, with a current run rate of 5.87. Mohammad Haris leads the charge with 28 off 19 balls, including two boundaries and a six, while Mohammad Nawaz has contributed 7 off 7. Mustafizur Rahman has bowled three overs for 22 runs, picking up one wicket, and Rishad Hossain has figures of 4-0-18-2.
