Bangladesh ended the series without a single win as Pakistan secured a clean 3-0 sweep. The Tigers struggled in all three matches, with Pakistan showing strong performance throughout. It was a tough series for Bangladesh fans to watch.
A Fighting Total, But No Win for Tigers
Bangladesh showed a better performance with the bat in the third and final match of the T20 series against Pakistan. They scored 197 runs their best score in the series but it still wasn’t enough. Pakistan chased the target comfortably and won the match by 7 wickets with 16 balls left. With this win, Pakistan completed a 3-0 whitewash over Bangladesh.
Strong Start from Bangladesh
After winning the toss, Bangladesh decided to bat first. The opening pair gave hope to the team with a solid partnership. Parvez Hossain Emon played a brilliant innings, scoring 66 runs, while his opening partner Tanjim Shakib added 42 runs. The two batsmen put on a 110-run stand for the first wicket, giving Bangladesh a strong foundation. This was the best performance from the Bangladeshi batters in the series.
After the opening stand was broken, the middle and lower-order batters tried to keep up the pace but couldn’t add many big runs. Despite that, Bangladesh still managed to post a competitive total of 197 runs in their 20 overs — a big improvement from their poor performances in the first two matches.
Haris Destroys Tigers’ Hopes
In reply, Pakistan started their innings cautiously. They lost Sahibzada Farhan early for just 1 run. However, Mohammad Haris and Saim Ayub turned the game around quickly. The two young batters played with confidence and style. They added 92 runs together, which took the game away from Bangladesh.
Saim Ayub scored 45 runs before getting out, but Mohammad Haris stayed till the end and played a masterclass innings. He remained unbeaten on 107 runs — a match-winning knock that broke Bangladesh’s hopes. Hasan Nawaz added 26 quick runs, and captain Salman Agha stayed not out on 15 runs as Pakistan easily reached the target in just 17.2 overs.
Bowlers Struggle Again
Bangladesh’s bowlers failed once more to stop Pakistan’s batters. Only Mehedi Hasan Miraz made some impact, taking 2 wickets. Tanjim Shakib also got one wicket. But overall, the bowlers couldn’t put pressure on the Pakistani team. Their lengths and lines were not consistent, and the Pakistani batters punished every bad delivery.
Series Summary Disappointment for Tigers
This 3-match T20 series was very tough for Bangladesh. They were completely outplayed by Pakistan in every game. In the first match, Bangladesh were bowled out for just 37 runs — one of their lowest T20 scores ever. In the second game, they scored only 57 runs. Both games were heavy defeats.
In the third match, even though Bangladesh played better and scored 197, they still couldn’t defend it. Pakistan’s batters chased the total with ease, showing their class and power. Mohammad Haris was the star of the series, especially with his unbeaten century in the final game.
What’s Next for Bangladesh?
Bangladesh will now need to go back and look at what went wrong. Their batters finally showed some fight in the last game, but their overall performance in the series was not up to the mark. Their bowlers need to improve, especially in terms of planning and execution.
The Tigers have talent, but they need to play with more discipline and belief. Losing 3-0 without much fight in the first two games will hurt the team and its fans. Hopefully, this series will be a learning experience, and Bangladesh can bounce back stronger in future matches.
Conclusion
Pakistan was the better team throughout the series. With strong batting, solid bowling, and sharp fielding, they deserved the clean sweep. For Bangladesh, it’s back to the drawing board. They must rebuild and return with better performances.
