Bangladesh lost the series against the United Arab Emirates last week. Without breaking that streak, the Tigers lost the series against Pakistan this time. Liton Das’ team faced Pakistan in the second match of the T20 series on Friday (May 30). Where the Bangladesh team lost by a big margin of 57 runs.
The Tigers have already lost the series with two consecutive losses. The loss was mainly due to the failure of the Bangladesh team’s batting. Batting for a target of 202, the Bangladesh team got off to a good start. After Tanjid Hasan Tamim was dismissed for 33 runs off 19 balls, no one could catch up. Parvez Emon, Liton Das, Zaker Ali failed with the bat.

On the other hand, Bangladesh’s bowlers failed in the second match as well. They could not find a place to throw the ball in front of the Pakistani batters. Pakistan got a big collection through the simple bowling of Rishad Hossain and Hasan Mahmud.

Shahibzada Farhan scored the highest 74 runs for the team. Hasan Mahmud and Tanjim Shakib took 2 wickets each for Bangladesh.
Pakistan’s batsmen dominated the match from the start. None of the Bangladesh bowlers could make the most of the new ball. The visitors also had to pay the price for poor fielding. They missed catches in the first over.
However, Bangladesh got their first breakthrough in the second over after being run out. Saim Ayub started the run for the third run. However, he turned around when he realized that he would not get a run but stumbled. Pakistan lost their first wicket with the last ball of the second over.
