00:00BIRDS CHIRP
00:31This is the silverware they're going to be playing for in this three-match series.
00:35There's two skippers posing with the trophy.
00:38They'll be raring to go.
00:42KFC presents Benkalfala Pakistan versus Bangladesh T20 series 2025.
00:48It is the first of three, and this is the one coming for you live from the Gaddafi Cricket Stadium in Lahore.
00:54Now the toss was won by Pakistan.
00:56They elected to bat first.
00:57The idea was to put some pressure on Bangladesh right at the top as we look at the teams for Pakistan.
01:03For starters, well, it's a new look Pakistani side.
01:06Fakhir is making a comeback.
01:08Saima Youb has been absent from the Pakistani lineup because of the injury.
01:12Haris is there.
01:13Salman, ever reliable.
01:15And Hassan Nawaz has impressed many.
01:18Shaddaab, a very good all-rounder along with Khoshtil.
01:22Balling lineup is pretty strong.
01:24They've got some very aggressive batsmen at the top.
01:28Tanzan and also Parvez, a couple of guys who are in good form in the UAE series.
01:32Strike grab 181.
01:33Litton Das is their best play with a bat.
01:36Hedderoy is someone who plays very nicely as well.
01:38And when we get to the spinners, we've got to watch out for Rashad Hussain.
01:41He's a leg spinner, very talented.
01:43He's among the leading wicket takers in T20s recently.
01:45And a couple of quicks, Tanzan, Hassan and Shorifu.
01:49The left arm is a talented bowler as a left arm.
01:51Tanzan and Hassan are going to have to set a nice trend with the ball.
02:01The off-spin, Ahmediyaz and Marat.
02:03With a slip in place.
02:09A little bit of a fairly quick delivery.
02:17Now that's a leading edge.
02:18That's going to be out.
02:19It is out.
02:20So straight away, they've got a prize wicket.
02:22That's a big one.
02:24First ball.
02:25Samayoub is on his way back to the hut.
02:28It was a simple delivery, wasn't it?
02:35It didn't do anything.
02:36The only thing.
02:39He played the ball a bit too early.
02:41And had to pay the prize.
02:44Bangladeshi in charge.
02:45Straight away.
02:46Samayoub.
02:47Dismissed.
02:51Now that's away.
02:53Good connection.
02:54One bounce and that goes for four.
02:56Five for one.
02:58First over.
03:01Oh, that's a good one too.
03:03That might be out.
03:04Yes, up goes that digit.
03:05That's T20 international wicket number 50 for Shairafal.
03:10Brilliant start from him.
03:11Swinging the ball and getting a big wicket.
03:15What a delivery that was.
03:17He knew the weakness of Fakhar Zaman,
03:19who doesn't offer vertical back to such deliveries.
03:23And Bangladesh on top.
03:27Straight away into this series.
03:29Two and two for them.
03:30Pakistan five for two.
03:34Over the top.
03:36Vaken down there.
03:37One bounce.
03:38Gone for four.
03:42Good shot.
03:43I think.
03:43Yes.
03:44Just over the top.
03:45Wasn't far away.
03:46Four runs.
03:47That's a wait.
03:54And that's gone for six.
03:56Nicely played that time.
03:58Slightly short.
03:59He's pounced on it.
04:00Loves doing that.
04:01Does Muhammad Harris.
04:03Stroke of the first delivery.
04:05Really unsettled the baller.
04:06And after that,
04:08he's been all over the shop.
04:10The last one was paced up.
04:12And this one.
04:13Really short for the batters
04:15to capitalize on that.
04:19Chopped away.
04:21And that's through.
04:22That's an unforced error.
04:24That's gone for four.
04:28There we go.
04:29Looking to use that area again.
04:31And again, it's four runs.
04:33Good connection.
04:34This time along the carpets.
04:35The pull shot.
04:41In the air.
04:42Chance in the deep hand taken.
04:44It's a good delivery into the pitch.
04:47And it is Muhammad Harris who has to go.
04:50When he attempted to play that shot over the top,
04:53there was a fielder.
04:55He slapped that down to his throat.
04:57At long on.
04:58Easy.
04:58Too easy for Tanzeed Hassan Tamim.
05:01Look at the reaction from the bowler.
05:04Sends back Muhammad Harris for 31.
05:09Nicely timed through the offside.
05:11Terrific shot.
05:13Against the boundary of the last ball.
05:18There it is.
05:20He smashed that out of the park.
05:23Hasan Nawaz has arrived in this innings.
05:28Now that's a biggie.
05:29It was in the slot.
05:31And he connected well.
05:35Didn't even bother to run.
05:36And why would you want to run?
05:38He knew it's going to go for the maximum.
05:41He's playing in the PSL.
05:43That is a beautiful pickup.
05:45That is magnificent.
05:47Maximum over wide long on.
05:49A two-fold.
05:53Just a minute.
05:54A flick of his legs.
05:56And it's gone the distance.
06:01Dabs it away.
06:02Down to third.
06:03And that will get to the fence as well.
06:0650 for the captain.
06:08Third and fourth innings.
06:10Four innings for Salman Ali Agha.
06:12Just off 29 deliveries.
06:15Leading the charge for Pakistan.
06:21There he goes.
06:22Big once again.
06:23It's a huge six.
06:24Once again.
06:25Cashing in on good length.
06:27Shorter length.
06:28And depositing it over mid-wicket.
06:30For a grand six.
06:31Yeah, mid-off up in the ring.
06:37That's been lifted.
06:38Airlifted.
06:40For a sweet six.
06:43On a very high note.
06:46Full toss.
06:47Is hit straight.
06:49To a fielder at deep cover.
06:51And he'll be thoroughly disappointed.
06:54You were talking about which length to bowl on a pitch like this.
06:58How about this one?
06:59Perfect.
07:00Keep on bowling those full tosses, boys.
07:04Yeah, well.
07:05Pleasing on the Aya Salman Ali Agha once again.
07:08A very fine 56 of 34.
07:13Making room and cuts it well.
07:15Should find the fence as well.
07:17Lovely piece of timing and placement.
07:24That's put up over cover for another magnificent six.
07:27It just does it so effortlessly.
07:31And not an easy stroke to play against a spinner.
07:34Oh, that's gone up in the air.
07:38That should be taken at long off.
07:41Oh, he's missed it.
07:43It's gone for four as well.
07:47Oh, chance.
07:48This time it's taken.
07:49And so, it didn't really cost Bangladesh great much.
07:54And he'll be disappointed because it, in the end, was a soft dismissal.
07:58Got out, playing the ball off the back foot.
08:02And to a spinner.
08:04Now, he was unsure.
08:06He was completely unsure.
08:10What sort of a stroke is going to play?
08:12Hassan Nawaz has been sent back.
08:16Scored 44, 139 for five.
08:19Too many soft dismissals.
08:22Oh, there's another one.
08:23Head up.
08:24Missed the ball.
08:25Stumped by a country mile.
08:27Has now picked up a wicket.
08:29And an important wicket of the left-hander.
08:31Hoj Dil Shah.
08:32Pressure was building up.
08:34No boundaries for the 15 deliveries before that.
08:37He decides to go down the wicket.
08:38And misses it completely.
08:40And Lytun Kumar Dash does the rest.
08:44Hoj Dil Shah gone for five.
08:45Pakistan, six down for 150.
08:49It can be so dangerous, Hoj Dil Shah.
08:51In the air that time.
08:52It's pumped down the ground.
08:53And they've got a boundary.
08:54That's the first boundary from 19 deliveries.
09:00That's cracked.
09:02Hasn't gone far enough.
09:03I think it might have.
09:04Yep.
09:05That's six runs.
09:06That's more like Shadab Khan.
09:08That's how he likes to deal.
09:15Ching Ching.
09:16Another one.
09:17Is that another one?
09:17Yeah, KFC.
09:19You've got another one to dish out as well.
09:21Another scholarship.
09:22Back-to-back sixes.
09:24He's getting expensive now, Rashad.
09:26Yeah, this was short.
09:28And he was waiting for it.
09:31Really went hard at it.
09:32And back-to-back sixes from Shadab Khan.
09:36For over number 19.
09:38That'll be the plan, I think.
09:40Can smack that for six.
09:42That's for sure.
09:43Yep, that's gone.
09:44What a great start to the over.
09:45With a thick edge.
09:51And that races away.
09:52A couple of bounces and goes for four.
09:57He's got that away.
09:59He's hit it sweetly.
10:00But it might be out.
10:02That's a really good catch.
10:04Rashad Hussain takes a fine grab moving around.
10:07He's a really good player, Rashad.
10:08He might have done enough damage to take his side home.
10:17Really good grab from Rashad.
10:20It looked like at the last one, the ball was going away from him.
10:24Excellent knock from Shadab Khan.
10:26Going for 48.
10:29Last ball of the innings.
10:32And it's a very good ball to finish.
10:34Can't do too much with that.
10:35Hasnalli just gets it to covers for a single and then runs off the park.
10:39They ended up with 201 for seven.
10:42It's the first time that Pakistan has scored 200 in Lahore in a T20 international.
10:48Fakar just going for one.
10:50Ayub also for nought.
10:52Just first baller for him.
10:53Haris 31 off 18.
10:55Salman played really nicely for his 56 off 34.
10:58Nawaz 44 off 22.
11:00Shadab brilliant with his 48 off 25.
11:03Really good work from him.
11:04So a great recovery.
11:05The 31, 56, I should say.
11:0744 and 48 was very handy.
11:09And Kushtel, five off just 10.
11:11And Fahim not at 11 in the end and getting just past that 200 mark.
11:15Heady opened the bowling.
11:16One for 36 was pretty tidy.
11:17Shuraful was pretty good, I thought.
11:19Two for 32 off.
11:20Only three overs.
11:21And then one for 24 off 32.
11:23Hassan just going for an economy of eight per over was really good.
11:26Rashid Hussain got a little bit of tap.
11:29And Shudem four overs.
11:30Surprise.
11:31One for 31.
11:32Just going to get 7.75.
11:33So I think the ballers will be reasonably happy.
11:37So that's the target.
11:38It's the first of three.
11:39Bhangnadesh need 202 runs.
11:41They're going to have 20 overs, of course.
11:43They need to go at 10.10 runs per over.
11:46They need to get 202 in their 20 overs.
11:52Fahim Ashraf with the first ball.
11:56Starts off just outside of Stump.
12:00In Colombo.
12:01Oh, what a shot.
12:03What a way to start his innings.
12:07That's gone the distance.
12:09Good piece of timing from Tanzid Hassan.
12:14Just a short arm jab and that has sailed away.
12:18This is how good this pitch is.
12:19This is how good a surf is.
12:26Oh, that has screwed outside edge but has gone to the fence.
12:31So the first over from Fahim Ashraf.
12:3311 conceded.
12:34This one chipped in the air.
12:41Chance.
12:41This one taken.
12:43It is Harris Rowe.
12:45It is Hassan Ali with the wicket.
12:47Terrific piece of bowling.
12:49To try to hit him over the top of a mid-arm.
12:53Yeah, it gets him right at the bottom of the bat.
12:56No real elevation.
12:57And a straightforward grab for Harris Rowe.
13:01Aiman goes for four.
13:06Bangladesh 14 for one.
13:11Greeted with a nice little chip down the ground which has gone all the way.
13:17Effortless.
13:17Effortless six from Tanzid Hassan Tamim.
13:21He needs to carry on.
13:24And again.
13:25Again down the ground.
13:27Again the timing's perfect.
13:29Hits the side screen on the fold.
13:31Slow one and balls him.
13:36That's the ball that drifts back in.
13:39Hassan Ali celebrates.
13:42Once again picking up a wicket in his second over now.
13:47Yep.
13:47Bang on target.
13:49Celebration continues.
13:50Provesous and Imon was the first one.
13:58Now it's Tanzid Hassan Tamim.
14:00Gone for 31.
14:05That's a lot better.
14:06A lot solid.
14:07And beautifully played.
14:09And placed.
14:09Yeah slapped.
14:16Expertly done over cover.
14:17This really is special from Ridhoi.
14:19It's nicely played out of the middle.
14:26Has it gone far enough?
14:28Yeah.
14:28Just six runs just over that triangle.
14:31To a guy of high place.
14:36Karis Rolf.
14:38To be able to just hit him over extra cover.
14:42And hit him for six.
14:44That is classy to say the least.
14:46It's picked up beautifully.
14:51That's flat.
14:52And that's gone I think for six.
14:54Really nicely played.
15:00Karis a catcher and outs.
15:02Good catch.
15:04Fakus Imon has taken that quite comfortably.
15:06And Liddandas cannot believe.
15:08He sent it straight to him.
15:09That is a massive wicket for Pakistan.
15:11That's exactly the one they wanted.
15:12It was a delivery to be hit to the fans.
15:17But he just got underneath it.
15:20Sliced underneath it.
15:21And gone straight to Fakus Imon.
15:24Look at Liddandas' reaction.
15:27And throws his head back.
15:28In disgust.
15:30Very good innings from him.
15:3248 of just 30.
15:33Bangladesh.
15:34100 for three.
15:38Oh that's not a bad shout now.
15:40That's out.
15:41Yep.
15:42That's gone.
15:43Kustushar nice and full and nice and straight.
15:46Upwind that digit.
15:47And they'll lose another one straight away.
15:49Bad news for Bangladesh.
15:52He's just thinking of launching this leg side.
15:56But it's quick flat.
15:58And hits him right in front.
15:59Rashid Riyaz says that's out.
16:03Bangladesh lose another.
16:04Hidroi for 17.
16:05It's 102 for four.
16:07Oh he's missed that stumping has he.
16:13He's maybe just taken the bail off.
16:16We'll have to have a double check on this.
16:17It was just a tip on the stump.
16:19Have he got it right?
16:20I think he might have.
16:26Glove on top of the bails.
16:29Misses the first one.
16:31Damages the bails and the stump.
16:33Second time round.
16:34So we've got a tumbling pretty quickly now.
16:42Smash that one.
16:43Has it gone far enough?
16:45Yeah.
16:45That's gone for six.
16:46Oh that's gone up in the air.
16:52Shadab is a terrific fielder.
16:54Can this be taken by him?
16:57He makes no mistake.
16:59A soft dismissal in the air and in Pakistan.
17:01Now it seems have got this covered.
17:05And now among the wickets.
17:07Before this he already picked up a wicket.
17:08Now he's got rid of Rashid Hussain.
17:12Trying to play a big shot leading edge.
17:16And Shadab takes it gleefully.
17:18Here Rashid goes.
17:23The batting once again.
17:24A disappointment for Bangladesh.
17:26One, two, four.
17:30Ah nice.
17:32What a wonderful shot that he was dead set in hitting that one over square leg.
17:36He was into position early.
17:38Even before the ball had come his way.
17:43Now that is some shot.
17:46That is really huge.
17:47In the slot.
17:49And Jakar Ali.
17:50Well we know that he deals in fours and sixes.
17:54Striking at 190.
17:56The strike rate.
17:57Again the same ploy.
17:59Stay deep in the crease.
18:01And again a slower delivery.
18:03It's in the slot.
18:05Oh my word.
18:06That is a big one.
18:07Isn't it?
18:10Oh that's fast and furious.
18:12And he gets the better of the striker.
18:15Abra Raima catches the ball.
18:17He is all pumped up Hassan Ali.
18:19After being smacked for a straight six.
18:22He had the last laugh.
18:23It was also a short one.
18:28Probably was not expecting that.
18:30Yeah easy.
18:31In the end.
18:33To grab that catch.
18:34Abra Raima does it easily.
18:37Jackarelli going for 36.
18:38Seven down.
18:39For one, four, eight.
18:41Making his presence felt is Hassan Ali.
18:43That's gone up in the air.
18:44This is.
18:45Should be his fourth.
18:47Can he catch this one?
18:48He does.
18:49Of his own bowling.
18:53Doesn't miss that one Hassan Ali.
18:55Which is good news.
18:59Again a slower delivery.
19:01Really went after it.
19:03Launched himself into it.
19:04But all he did is manage to hit it up in the air.
19:07And all smiles for Hassan Ali.
19:10He picks up his fourth.
19:12Anzeem Hassan Saqib gone for one.
19:15One forty nine for eight.
19:19He's been hit back.
19:21It's a flat six.
19:23Hits the cushion on the full.
19:25Effortlessly dealing with that first delivery.
19:31That slashed.
19:32And there's a failure there.
19:34This should be taken easily.
19:35Hassan Nawaz is an excellent hand.
19:38No fuss.
19:39No drama.
19:42Look how wide that is.
19:43That should have been put away into this stance.
19:46Not enough on the back.
19:48In the end.
19:49An easy catch.
19:51Hassan Nawaz at deep.
19:52Backward point.
19:55He departs for two.
19:56Nine down.
19:57Bangladesh for one fifty nine.
19:59It's a trade as well.
20:04This time.
20:04Is it going to be out?
20:05His fifth.
20:08Tremendous performance by Hassan Ali.
20:10Shadab I think has picked up the catch.
20:12Yeah.
20:12What a remarkable comeback by Hassan Ali.
20:15He's been out of the playing eleven for a year or so.
20:18Full length delivery.
20:24Wanted a six.
20:25But found Shadab there who's an excellent fielder.
20:28And he's happy for Hassan Ali as well.
20:30Bangladesh were good in patches.
20:42Litandas the captain 48 of 30.
20:45Ridhoi 17.
20:46Jaakar Ali 36 of 20.
20:48And in the end 164 all out.
20:50Pakistani bowlers were on target on song.
20:55Especially Hassan Ali.
20:56Who led them with a five wicket haul.
20:58Five for 30.
20:59Two for Shadab.
21:01He had a wonderful game as well.
21:03Bet it well.
21:04And picked up a couple of wickets.
21:05One for Khushdil.
21:06One for Salman.
21:07Overall a very very fine all round performance by the bowlers.
21:12And that's what did happen.
21:15Pakistan 2-0-1 for seven.
21:17Plenty of runs on the boat that allowed Pakistani bowlers to
21:20map out the execution plan.
21:23And they were outstanding.
21:24Very good outfielding to go with getting Bangladesh all out in 19.2 overs.
21:30They win this quite comfortably by a wide margin of 37 runs.
21:50To be continued...
