Who would have thought that Bangladesh would win the match against Pakistan so easily? The Tigers won the match without paying any attention to Pakistan. Bangladesh regained their lost confidence after returning to the familiar conditions of Sher-e-Bangla in Mirpur on Sunday.
A month and a half ago, the Tigers were whitewashed in the T20I against the hosts during their tour of Pakistan. This time, Bangladesh proved themselves at home. After 9 years, the Tigers won the T20I against the visitors.
Pakistan, after losing the toss and electing to bat first in Mirpur, could not score more than 110 runs in 19 overs and 3 balls, losing all their wickets. Fakhar Zaman scored the highest score for the team with 44 runs. In reply, Bangladesh, playing in 15 overs and 3 balls, reached the port of victory, losing 3 wickets.
At the award ceremony after the match, captain Liton said, ‘We know about the Mirpur wicket because we have played many matches here. The ball was coming well in the second innings, maybe because of the dew. We were able to take wickets quickly today.’
‘And sometimes you may miss a catch, sometimes you will take a difficult catch. And I know how useful Mustafiz is in Mirpur. Apart from that, Taskin and Shakib bowled well,’ he added.
