00:30Hello and welcome. KFC presents Pankal Fala T20i Series 3020 live from Qadhafi Stadium, Lahore.
00:39A little earlier the toss, Salman Ali Agha did call correctly, but this time around he fielded first.
01:04Premier fastballer Sharifal is not available for them because of groin injury
01:08and Khaled has been given an opportunity. Their batting has to come to the fore and today it's
01:15going to be a different story. No scoreboard pressure. They have to set a total for the
01:19Pakistani batters. Haris Rauf misses out. Abbas Afridi given a game, but up top it'll be all eyes
01:27on the openers. The openers haven't had a great time, but Sabzada Farhan though has batted well
01:34in his first game. And they need to start well. Asaf Yacoub, the umpire says let's play.
01:45First ball pulled away. Timing is very decent. Boundary to start the innings.
01:56Goes over the top. It is straight and it hit very well. The first maximum of the innings.
02:08Now presented full face of the bat. Got the elevation and the control. That's a good looking hit.
02:22Like that. This time it is being smashed away. That is a glorious hit.
02:32That's in the air. Fielder trying to get underneath. A valiant effort from Fahim Ashraf, but in vain.
02:43This time in the air, but in the gap. That's a terrific extra cover drive.
02:51Back to back boundaries to end the fourth. It's 36 without loss.
02:56Launched away. Here is it. High in the air. One bounce into the fence.
03:04Boundary to welcome Fahim Ashraf. Driven through extra cover. So make that four in a row.
03:14Nice. So inveterant of the left-handers to see that line.
03:22It's a very fine shot all along the carpet for four. Beautifully played.
03:26Going straight. That's the value of that. And it's gone for six. That's a great way to finish the over.
03:38That's a beautiful shot down the ground again. Exposing the stumps.
03:45Picked up the length very quickly and smashed it.
03:48That's cracked. That's beautifully cracked. That's a terrific shot for six. He just picked that up superbly. Maximum result.
04:08That's hit well as well. Oh, and it's gone through. That's an unforced error. That's just gone straight through.
04:13That's not going to make the bowler very happy. No, look at that look. He's a bit. 16 from it. 80 for none.
04:23Oh, that's picked up. Charging. Smacked that. Belted it up for six. Effort to see. That is superb. Absolutely superb.
04:32Goes down the wicket. Makes some room. And it cracks it away. Over cover in mid-off for another six.
04:38That's the fifth six.
04:43And he's cracked that for six. That's a fine stroke.
04:48Right out of the screws and superbly caught, sir. Didn't interrupt his phone call at all.
04:55Pick up the right length. This was full. And he says, thank you very much.
04:59I'm gonna put it away for another six here. That is a really good shot. Oh, look at that catch.
05:05Another smack. Another six. The fun continues for Bangladesh. This has been a terrific beginning.
05:16Wow. That is absolutely dismissed out of his sight.
05:24That's scooped up in the air. And that's taken. It's Abra who picks up a catch and provides Pakistan with a breather.
05:37Help the cause of Pakistani ballers with that stroke.
05:41They were looking desperately for this breakthrough. And it has come through Faheem Ashraf. A comfortable catch.
05:50Finally, the opening partnership has been broken.
05:52Tanzim contributing with 42 from 32. One ten for one.
05:57Oh, that's gone up in the air. Keeper is calling for it. He takes it quite easily in the end.
06:07Iman will be absolutely gutted because he's batting like a dream.
06:13The first googly he attempted was a wide one. But this time around, he managed to pick the outside
06:22edge. And nicely just catch by Horace behind the stumps. From Pravezamon, 66 from 34. One 13 for two.
06:34And he's bowled intelligently. And he's picked up a couple of wickets except for that delivery,
06:38which was flat and little bit of width provided to the right-hander and makes the fence in no time.
06:43It'd be disappointed.
06:44Oh, that's good enough. That really is a heavyweight shot for six.
06:55Terrific ball striking.
06:57A great bat speed to go with the execution.
07:05He read it well and that's hit for six.
07:07Wonderful strike from the right-hander. He read it early and picked him like he was reading the back of his hand.
07:17A little Das gets a boundary. Extra cover. One bounce into the fence.
07:29Obolem tried to do it fancily and missed it completely. Hassan Ali celebrates.
07:39If you do, then the ball would go on to hit the stump. Just rolling the fingers over.
07:44It's a slower delivery. And hits the timber.
07:48The partnership comes to an end.
07:51This cover. Lichun Komadash has to go.
07:54He departs for 22. Bangladesh, 162 for three.
08:01Backs away. Thumbs it away. Pass extra cover. Wide open spaces. That is an impressive shot.
08:08He drives the reverse and taken.
08:15Again, pace off. The reverse ramp not working. Harris with the catch.
08:22Being a left-hander, he wanted to play the reverse and all he did managed to get
08:27some part of the bat. And the keeper does the rest. Full credit to the bowler.
08:36Shamim Hussain. He goes for eight. Bangladesh, 171 for four.
08:41That is the Yorker. Whipped away straight to the man.
08:48Saim Ayyub takes it at deep mid wicket. Abbas Zavridi strikes again.
08:55Pulled it back in his previous over. And this time around, not one,
08:59but this time he picks up his second wicket in the same over.
09:02Fuller flicks it away straight into the hands at deep mid wicket.
09:07Gone for 25. Bangladesh, 172 for five.
09:15It's a down the ground. Enough elevation. Yes. Flat, long, and six.
09:23Full toss. Catch it over mid-off. Boundary. A six and a four.
09:33Hassan Ali slow one in the air. Chance in the deep and taken.
09:38Hassan Nawaz made good ground. And Hassan Ali's pace off delivery works.
09:45Poses the bearer to hit it in the air. Just couldn't find the gap.
09:49Probably just on the bottom part of the bat. It's a pretty decent catch.
09:54He had to run a long way to his left. Hassan Nawaz and takes it very nicely indeed.
10:00So Medias and Miraj departs for one. But six down for 184.
10:07Oh, thumped away leg side. He gets the gap. And gets the distance as well.
10:13Free hit. Deposited. Over the rope.
10:15Go wide again. Dragged it leg side. They want the second. Will they get the second?
10:28Yes, they will. So two runs to end the innings.
10:31196 in the end. Bangladesh. The last five overs. Got 46. Pakistan bowled well at the end.
10:42But Bangladesh having been put into bat. And the series that they've had.
10:47They'd be satisfied with their way that their batting has performed.
10:53Now Bangladesh put into bat. The opening partnership. Tanzit 42. Iman 66.
10:58Contributions by Lin Das and Hidroi. And they ended up in the end.
11:03But 196 for six. And the bowling. Hassan Ali. Two for 38.
11:12But Abbas Afridi. Who's the star of the show. Just 26 runs conceded.
11:17And two wickets for him. Seven bowlers used for Pakistan.
11:22Made sure that Bangladesh couldn't get to 296 for six.
11:26So Pakistan to win the series three knot. They need 197. And that run chase. We'll see.
11:35After this short break.
11:38Yeah, they've got to start well. There will be a bit of a pressure.
11:41On these openers. Because the required run radius is just touching.
11:4510 runs in Anova. Right from the word go.
11:47Belt up. The run chase is on.
11:51He likes this. This shot particularly against spin.
11:56Oh, what a beginning. What a strike.
12:03Announcing himself in no uncertain terms. This is massive.
12:07What a great start. What a great six.
12:10Yeah, not in four in the last two innings that he has played for Pakistan.
12:17But this time around the first ball that he faces.
12:19That's gone up in the air. This could be out. This is out.
12:29Rishad Hussain takes a very, very good catch by the rope he was.
12:33And it's Farhan, Saibzada Farhan, who's been dismissed. Looking for a big hoick, big six.
12:39Not to be tonight.
12:40Medias and Miraj. She goes there for that slot sweep. Doesn't connect in the air.
12:46And nicely taken in the deep by Rishad Hussain. Just have a bit of a look. He was okay.
12:55He goes for one. Pakistan loses their first wicket. It's eight for one.
12:59That's guided into the fence. That is such a good shot and a great beginning.
13:08Earlier we saw Saima You deposit one for a massive six. His first ball of the innings.
13:16Oh, that is smashed. One bounce into the fence. That's how he bats. On the day, a match winner.
13:22That's convincing. That is really good shot into the gap. One bounce over the rope for four.
13:33He's not going to let up. The pressure will be exerted.
13:41That's the wrong line. That's gone. Traveled all the way for six. What a beautiful pickup shot.
13:46Last ball deposited over the fence.
13:48The first four deliveries I mentioned earlier was on and around the off stump. This time he digs it in short.
13:55And sits up nice. It's such a beautiful pitch to bat on. That's not the right line. Neither is the right length.
14:05That's gone. That's the six. It deserved that hit.
14:09Saima You is timing them well. It's not good bowling. You've got to say, Hassan has got to improve.
14:14He's got a ball within the stumps. That is a half tracker on the pads.
14:19And Saima You is not going to really miss out on those.
14:25Crack. That's out of the screws. Picked the bones out of that one. That's gone for six.
14:29That's a terrific shot. Superb stuff from Ayoub.
14:32Just one down halfway through the eighth over. Oh, that's a bit of a freebie. And that's been hammered.
14:40Hammered for half a dozen. Oh, full intentions hit that over the rope for six.
14:45Slightly short. Not that short. Slightly short and slammed into the crowd.
14:56Top shot that. If you're slightly short, you'll be punished. And yet another six.
15:04That's picked up. First ball of the over. End of the crowd. Great shots.
15:21Opened the blade beautifully and timed a superbly. Has he got it all the way? Yeah, he has. That's a
15:25magnificent shot. It's not one of the blasts into the crowd, but that's a magnificent shot. Well-timed.
15:30Yeah, got his 50. Very well compiled 50 from him. Back live now.
15:39Now, has he got it straight down the throat of the field? I think he has. Oh, that's disappointing.
15:45And that expression tells us all the story. We didn't have to do much to get rid of Saima You.
15:52He was trying to hit a little bit square. Perhaps he was. I think it seemed to be not that high on the bat.
16:02Straight down Tanza's throat. Pretty much. It's the end of the partnership. It's worth 92.
16:09It's the end of a very good knock from Saima You. 45 off 29. Pakistan now 100 for two.
16:15There he goes. Effortlessly puts it away for six. What a strike that is.
16:22That is such a beautiful shot. Caressed it. No power. Just beautiful hands through the ball.
16:31That is elite. That is high-class batting.
16:40Yeah, cheeky and a great hit for six. It's hit the cushions on the full, I think.
16:50Yeah, that's gone up in the air. Now we're talking. It's second six of the innings.
16:53And that's what we're talking about.
16:56It's third six. Completely at home.
17:00Goes big again. Goes straight again. It's a four. Massive hitting down the ground.
17:07Loving this. Absolutely loving this from Hasan Nawaz.
17:10And now that's gone up in the air. It will take some catching.
17:18It's a high ball. It's a sky ball. It's taken beautifully. Rishad with a great catch.
17:24Dismissing dangerous Hasan Nawaz. He was shaping up so well. It's Miraz.
17:30Yeah, around the wicket. The angle across the ball. Just carrying on with the arm.
17:35Not a lot of spin. That's why the connection. Not great. But it's a good catch.
17:41Went really high in the night sky. Difficult to judge the depth.
17:46But Rishad did it perfectly. Hasan Nawaz out for 26 of just 13.
17:53Pakistan 137 for three. To get back in the game.
17:59Oh, what a shot that is. Great connection. Great back speed.
18:03Absolutely world-class hit this. Because it happened in a jiffy.
18:09In about half a second, we got a great result from his blade.
18:13In position. Yeah, just flexing his muscle. He's not finished yet.
18:20Yeah, nicely done. Over cover. Easy shot for Salman Aliaga. He plays spin beautifully.
18:25Picked that up nicely. And it's gone all the way for six. Takes him into the 90s. And if he does?
18:40Can't see a bead of perspiration on his forehead.
18:43He's hit that through the covers. He's found the gap and it's raced away for a boundary.
18:48He takes it now to 99.
18:56Muhammad Harris. That is absolutely spectacular.
19:01What a scintillating performance.
19:04Magical. It's his first 100 for Pakistan.
19:09First 100 in T20 International as well for Pakistan. Magnificent work for Muhammad Harris.
19:15And the first Pakistan non-opener score at 102 to any internationals also. He's ticked off a few boxes,
19:21that's for sure. Brilliant stuff. What a delight to watch this.
19:29Rocking back and just slams that over the ropes as well for six more. He's with a rocket now,
19:35that's for sure. With a rocket. He wants to finish this quickly. He's putting on a real show.
19:39He wants to finish this quickly. He wants to finish this quickly. He wants to finish this quickly.
19:45He wants to finish this quickly. He wants to finish this quickly.
19:47Brilliant.
19:49Runs are coming left, right and center now. One required now.
19:54One to win.
19:57And that is going to be it.
20:00Punch gloves in the middle. They just stroll through to complete the run and that is it.
20:05What a performance by Pakistan. They have been absolutely brilliant today. This has been a
20:10wonderful game. What a performance. Pakistan win by seven wickets. Three zip they win this series. It's
20:16the first time they've won a T20 International Series three zip since December 2021. And Muhammad Harris,
20:24you can be so pleased with your performance because that was really special to watch.
20:31What a chase. What a chase. They needed 197 and 196 by Bangladesh. They thought they were in business
20:38when they picked up the wicket of Shahid Zadhafaran. He's been in very good form. But what about
20:43Muhammad Harris? Unbeaten on 107 and look at the number of deliveries that he faced. 46 taking the game away
20:50from Bangladesh. Saim Ayyub also making a good contribution of 45 of 29. Making sure they have
20:57the clean sweep and there's three match series. I thought Madison Mirage was the pick of the
21:04bola. Look at his figures. Two for 26. But then the only wicket went to Tanzeem. But others expensive.
21:11All right, let's have a look at the match summary of the third and final match. KFC Benko Fala presents
21:19T20 Series. Bangladesh. Batting first after they asked to bat first. 196 for six they got. It was a good
21:25total. We thought that and I heard Atali Khan say they thought it was about 15 runs short of what they
21:30perhaps should have been. Iwan was brilliant with his 66 of 34. Tanze at 42. They didn't kick on and that's
21:35probably the the difference in the two teams. Abbas Afridi 2 for 26. Of his four ball beautifully.
21:41And Pakistan reply 197 for three. Harris outstanding. 107 not out of 46 balls. 45 off 29.
21:48And two for Mirage as well. And Pakistan getting up by seven wickets to win the series. 3-zip.
22:054-zip.
22:184-zip.
22:224-zip.
22:285-zip.
22:285-zip.
22:305-zip.
