Tigers make Pakistan chase as difficult as possible

Bangladesh will look to make the chase as difficult as possible after the hosts picked top four wickets in 23 runs.

The Tigers took some momentum going into the chase. The first part though was shambolic as the new-look top-order struggled for fluency. They were reduced to 15 for 3 in the 5th over and didn't really recover.

Pacer Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed took two openers Mohammad Rizwan and captain Babar Azam respectively.

Fakhar Zaman is batting at 13*.

Afif Hossain played a nice little cameo, but his team needed more than just 36. There were useful hands from Nurul and Mahedi, as the hosts added 87 in the last set of 10 overs.

For Pakistan, the return to form for Hasan Ali was welcome news and the debutants acquitted themselves pretty well. You'd back them to chase down 127, considering their recent form.
