Bangladesh has already secured the series. Liton Das had a chance to whitewash Pakistan. Bangladesh made five changes in the XI to avenge the shame of returning from Pakistan. The ‘basic coordination’ of T20 has been reversed. After the collapse of the fragile middle order, Bangladesh is in danger of being all out with their lowest score in T20s. Even though Saifuddin stopped that run, the hosts collapsed for 104 runs in 16.4 overs. They ended the series 2-1 with a big loss of 74 runs.
Captain Liton Das won the toss and chose to bowl at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur on Thursday. But his bowling line-up could not take advantage of the new ball. Shahibzada Farhan, who came into the XI in place of Pakistani openers Sayeem Ayub and Fakhar Zaman, added 82 runs in the opening. Sayeem scored 21 runs off 15 balls. Shahibzada played the highest innings of 63 runs off 41 balls for the team. He hit six fours and five sixes from his bat. He was dismissed for 93 runs in 11.1 overs.
Standing on that foundation, Pakistan capitalized on 178 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. Hasan Nawaz, who batted for the team at four, played a brilliant innings of 33 runs off 17 balls. He hit one four and three sixes from his bat. Mohammad Nawaz, who failed in the first two matches, also got runs with the bat. This batter, who increased his runs in the slug, scored 27 runs off 16 balls with two fours and a six.
Bangladesh lost their wicket on the first ball of the innings in reply. In the second match, rested opener Tanjid Tamim took a catch behind the wicket. In the next over, captain Liton Das walked to the dressing room. He played 8 runs off 8 balls. Mehedi Miraj, who came into the eleven in place of Towhid Hridoy and batted at number four, took 10 runs off 8 balls. Bangladesh went from 3 for 22 to 25 for 5. Zaker Ali, who played well in the previous match, took 1 and Sheikh Mehedi took a duck.
Opener Naeem Sheikh was still at the wicket. But he could not increase his or his team’s runs. He was out for 10 runs off 17 balls as if waiting for death. Nasum Ahmed, who fought to save Bangladesh from the shame of being all out on the lowest score, returned to the team’s 65 runs with 9 runs. Saifuddin, who saved Bangladesh from the shame of being all out before the last T20 score of 70 or 100, played an unbeaten innings of 35 runs off 34 balls. He hit two fours and two sixes.
Except for Nasum Ahmed, no one from the Bangladesh team could bowl well with the ball. The left-arm spinner took 2 wickets for 22 runs in 4 overs. Pacer Taskin Ahmed, who failed to stop runs and take wickets with the new ball, took 3 wickets in slog but gave away 38 runs in 4 overs. Shariful, who bowled well in the second match, took 1 wicket for 39 runs in 4 overs. Spinner Sheikh Mehedi could not take advantage. He conceded 36 runs in 3 overs. Miraj gave away 14 runs in one over. Saifuddin took 1 wicket for 28 runs in 4 overs.
On the other hand, Bangladesh could not play Pakistani pacers Salman Mirza and Fahim Ashraf. Left-arm Salman took 3 wickets for 20 runs in 4 overs. Pace all-rounder Fahim took 2 wickets for 13 runs in 2 overs. Spinner Mohammad Nawaz removed two batters for 4 runs in 1.4 overs. Ahmed Daniyal took one wicket but gave away 16 runs in 3 overs.
