Bangladesh Eye Series Win as Pakistan Struggles in T20 Clash
Bangladesh and Pakistan are locking horns once again in what’s turning out to be a thrilling T20 series. The second T20I, held at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Tuesday, has captured the attention of cricket fans across the globe — and for good reason. Bangladesh are just one win away from sealing the three-match series after an impressive performance in the opening game.
Let me break it down for you: in the first match, Bangladesh were all over Pakistan from the word go. Choosing to bowl first, their bowlers — particularly Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman — absolutely dominated the Pakistani batting line-up. Pakistan were restricted to a mere 109 runs, with only a few batters showing any fight. Fakhar Zaman top-scored with 44, while Khushdil Shah (17) and Abbas Afridi (22) were the only other players to reach double digits. It was a forgettable outing for Pakistan with the bat, to say the least.

In response, Bangladesh made it look like a walk in the park. They chased the target of 110 in just 15.3 overs, winning comfortably by seven wickets. Litton Das led from the front, both tactically and with the bat, and the team showed the same confidence that helped them win their recent T20 series against Sri Lanka.
Now, heading into the second T20I, Bangladesh have a golden opportunity to wrap up the series. A win here would mark another milestone for this improving T20 side. For Pakistan, though, it’s crunch time. With many of their senior players missing — no Babar Azam, no Mohammad Rizwan, and even pace spearhead Shaheen Afridi is sitting this one out — the pressure is mounting. Captain Salman Agha has a tough task on his hands as he leads a relatively inexperienced squad.
The second T20I kicks off at 5:30 PM IST, with live coverage available on the Sony Sports Network and streaming on the FanCode app and website for viewers in India. Fans will be keeping a close eye on whether Pakistan can bounce back or if Bangladesh will continue their dominant run at home.
Whatever the outcome, one thing is clear: this clash is not just about two teams on the field — it’s about momentum, pride, and building toward next year’s T20 World Cup.
