Pakistan vs Bangladesh 1st ODI Highlights: Nahid Rana, Tanzid Hasan power Tigers to eight-wicket win

GAME OVER! Bangladesh have cruised to a comfortable eight-wicket win over Pakistan to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. Tanzid Hasan Tamim top-scores for the hosts in Dhaka with an unbeaten 67.

Earlier, Nahid Rana’s five-wicket haul had helped Bangladesh dismiss Pakistan for 114 in 30.4 overs.

OUT! Mohammad wasim removes Najmul Hossain Shanto as Bangladesh lose just their second wicket. This wicket won’t hurt Bangladesh, who are just five runs away from winning this match.

Tanzid Hasan Tamim scores a half-century that comes in 32 deliveries! He has taken a very calm approach today, and is taking the Tigers towards victory.

Bangladesh are inching closer to victory. The 50-run partnership between Najmul Hossain Shanto and Tanzid Hasan comes up. Bangladesh need just 37 more runs from 41 overs, and they seem like they want to wrap it up quickly.

BAN 78/1 (9 overs; Target 115)

Mohammad Wasim bowls his second over of the innings. He is punished for a six by Tanzid Hasan, who perfects the pull over deep midwicket to go all the way. Tanzid collects another boundary in the over as 10 runs come from it.

Bangladesh 47/1 (6 overs; Target 115)

OUT! Bangladesh lose an early wicket after getting off to a brisk start as Shaheen Afridi removes Saif Hassan. Saif is caught by Shamyl Hussain at point.

Bangladesh 31/1 (3 overs; Target 115)

Right. Time for Bangladesh’s chase. Shaheen Shah Afridi begins Pakistan’s bowling attack, and he ends up conceding five wides early on. A brisk start from Bangladesh as 10 runs come from the first over.

Bangladesh 10/0 (1 over; Target 115)

INNINGS BREAK! Bangladesh see off Pakistan for just 114 runs in 30.4 overs. Faheem Ashraf is the last batter to be dismissed as Mustafizur Rahman gets his only wicket of the match.

Bangladesh need 115 runs to win from 50 overs.

Faheem Ashraf is currently the lone fighter for Pakistan. Mehidy Hasan Miraz bowls the 29th over of the match, and goes for just one run in the over.

Pakistan 109/9 (29 overs)

Taskin Ahmed continues. Faheem Ashraf collects a welcome boundary for Pakistan as he sweetly drives through deep extra cover fence. He then slam a six over backward square leg to bring up Pakistan’s 100. A good over for the visitors as 11 runs come from it.

Pakistan 102/9 (26 overs)

OUT! Pakistan have collapsed like nine pins today, and the latest batter to depart is Mohammad Wasim. Wasim gets an edge towards Najmul Hossain Shanto at slip, who takes the catch safely. Taskin Ahmed with the wicket for Bangladesh.

Pakistan 91/9 (25 overs)

OUT! Bangladesh have struck with two more quick wickets, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz removing Hussain Talat and Shaheen Afridi in the same over. Pakistan’s woes never seem to end as they stare at being dismissed for a low total.

Pakistan 81/8 (23 overs)

Nahid Rana bowls his seventh over. There is an appeal for LBW against Faheem Ashraf, but he is given not out. Bangladesh don’t opt for the review, though. Had they gone for the review, Faheem would have been out as ball-tracking showed it was crashing on leg stump.

Pakistan 77/6 (22 overs)

OUT! Bangladesh skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz strikes as he removes Abdul Samad. Samad looks to defend the ball, but he finds the outside edge that flies towards Litton Das. He reviews this decision, but there is a big spike in UltraEdge and the decision stands.

Pakistan 70/6 (19 overs)

OUT! Nahid Rana collects his fifth wicket as he removes Salman Ali Agha for just five runs. Salman is caught by Tanzid Hasan at short leg. Pakistan are in serious trouble.

Pakistan 70/5 (18.5 overs)

OUT! Nahid Rana takes his fourth wicket as he removes Mohammad Rizwan. Pakistan are in a spot of bother now. Rizwan is edged and caught by Litton Das.

Pakistan 64/4 (16 overs)

OUT! Bangladesh pacer Nahid Rana is in some form today as he gets rid of Maaz Sadaqat. This is rana’s third wicket today. It was a short-length ball from Nahid, and Sadaqat got a thick top-edge off the bat that flew towards Saif Hassan at fine leg.

Pakistan 55/3 (13.4 overs)

OUT! Nahid Rana strikes again for Bangladesh as he removes Pakistan debutant Shamyl Hossain. He manages to score just four runs before being caught by Litton Das. Pakistan have lost two quick wickets after a confident start.

Pakistan 52/2 (13 overs)

OUT! Breakthrough for Bangladesh as Nashid Rana gets rid of Sahibzada Farhan, who was Pakistan’s best batter at the recently-concluded T20 World Cup. Farhan, who is caught by Afif Hossain at point, manages to score just 27 runs today.

Pakistan 46/1 (11 overs)

Mehidy Hasan Miraz bowls his second over, and is punished for a boundary by Maaz Sadaqat. He goes down the ground and slams it over mid-on for four runs.

Bangladesh will be looking to get a breakthrough before it is too late.

Pakistan’s openers, Saibzada Farhan and Maaz Sadaqat have got the visitors off to a decent start, with both of them collecting a couple of boundaries so far. After seven overs, Pakistan are 25/0.
