Bangladesh vs Pakistan, 1st T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Taskin Ahmed to Abbas Afridi, out Caught by Litton Das!! Banged in short outside off, Abbas Afridi slogs and the top-edge goes straight up. Litton calls for it and takes it with minimum fuss by ambling back to his left. Abbas Afridi c Litton Das b Taskin Ahmed 22(24) [6s-3]

Taskin Ahmed to Salman Mirza, out Salman Mirza Run Out!! Third run out of the innings. A swing and a miss outside off, Abbas Afridi wanted the strike and was quick to get off the blocks. Salman Mirza had no option, but to respond and he was caught just short by the bowler. Fine throw from Litton and Taskin did the rest. Salman Mirza run out (Litton Das/Taskin Ahmed) 0(1)

Taskin Ahmed to Faheem Ashraf, out Caught by Mahedi Hasan!! As soon as the ball left the bat, Faheem Ashraf knew he was in trouble. Short ball slanting away outside off, Faheem went for the heave and the top-edge carried nicely to the left of short third. Mahedi ran back and made a difficult catch look relatively easy there. Faheem Ashraf c Mahedi Hasan b Taskin Ahmed 5(10)

Mustafizur to Khushdil, out Caught by Rishad Hossain!! Khushdil has thrown it away. Pakistan needed him to offer the finishing touches, but not to be. A 131ks length ball outside off, Khushdil got lured by the width and ended up slapping it off the toe end straight to mid-off. Catching practice for Rishad. Khushdil c Rishad Hossain b Mustafizur 17(23) [4s-1 6s-1]

Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Abbas Afridi, SIX, attempts a slower ball yorker and ends up bowling it a bit too full on the stumps, Abbas Afridi shimmies out and clubs it down the ground for his third maximum...

Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Abbas Afridi, SIX, a hit-me length delivery just outside off, Abbas Afridi clears his front leg and smokes it deep into the mid-wicket stands. Crucial hits these for Pakistan...

Rishad Hossain to Abbas Afridi, SIX, sweetly timed! A touch too full from Rishad Hossain, Abbas Afridi sinks to one knee and slogsweeps that into the mid-wicket orbit for a mighty maximum

Rishad Hossain to Khushdil, SIX, premeditated shot from Khushdil. Got into position early and played the reverse sweep off the meat of the bat to smash a 80-metre maximum over sweeper cover

Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Abbas Afridi, no run, not a bad review that from Bangladesh. Angled in from wide of the crease and keeps a touch low on leg stump, Abbas Afridi misses the flick and was hit below on the knee roll on the front pad. Replays suggest that it would have clipped outer half of the leg stump.

Mustafizur to Khushdil, out Fakhar Zaman Run Out!! 1 run completed. It's getting incredibly worse for Pakistan. Was a slower ball from Mustafizur, Khushdil stabbed it to the right of third man and called his partner for a second. And after taking a good few steps down the pitch, Khushdil decides against the second and pauses midway. Fakhar, though, was keen on running and ended up tumbling while trying to get back to his crease. Well short of his crease. Fakhar Zaman gives a long stare to Khushdil before walking back to the pavilion and that is a sign you do not want to see on a cricket field. Fakhar Zaman run out (Taskin Ahmed/Litton Das) 44(34) [4s-6 6s-1]slower length delivery outside off

Mahedi Hasan to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, smash! 12 runs off the over. Fakhar uses his feet once again and this time thrashes it straight back over the bowler's head. No chance for the fielders in the deep as that was timed really well from the Pakistani opener...

Mahedi Hasan to Fakhar Zaman, SIX, first six of the game! Fakhar shimmies out of his crease, gets close to the pitch of the full delivery and lofts it well wide of the fielder at long-off to his right

Mahedi Hasan to Fakhar Zaman, 2 runs, chance goes down. Fakhar Zaman skips down the track and looks to drill it down the ground, skews it off the toe end and hits straight back at the bowler who couldn't lock his palms. Straight in and straight out. Oh, hang on! Looks like the ball brushed his palms and then went onto hit him on the chin. The physio is out to check on him and he looks fine. That was rapid and wasn't a straightforward catch by any means...

Taskin Ahmed to Khushdil, FOUR, short at the hip, Khushdil swivels and helps it away to the fine leg fence with a well-timed pull. A much-needed boundary that for Pakistan

Taskin Ahmed to Fakhar Zaman, 1 run, 120ks length outside off, Fakhar cuts to the left of backward point and rushes through for a quick single

Mahedi Hasan to Fakhar Zaman, no run, slower and spins away ever so slightly on off, Fakhar looks to nudge leg-side and misses. The ball escapes the outside edge and hits him on the back leg in front of middle stump. Replays suggest that it would bounced over the sticks...

Mahedi Hasan to Fakhar Zaman, out Nawaz Run Out!! It can't get any worse for Pakistan. They are finding ways to throw their wicket away. A gentle push into the leg-side and Fakhar barely moved out of his crease. Nawaz, though, came searching for a quick single and was halfway down the pitch when Litton collected the ball. He threw it on the bounce to the bowler and Mahedi did well to catch him well short of the crease. Nawaz tried to get back with a dive, but it was too late. Nawaz run out (Litton Das/Mahedi Hasan) 3(5)

Mustafizur to Hasan Nawaz, out Caught by Rishad Hossain!! Pakistan in deep trouble. That is not good cricket. 3 dots on a tricky pitch and he plays the blind slog. Thick top-edge and Rishad settles under it at third man. The ball was dipping on him, but Rishad did well to keep his eyes on the ball and dive forward to take it with both hands. The angle from Mustafizur was always going away from the right-hander and Hasan Nawaz played a poor stroke there. Hasan Nawaz c Rishad Hossain b Mustafizur 0(4)

Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Salman Agha, out Caught by Litton Das!! Salman Agha looked like a cat on a hot tin roof there. Clearly his ego was hurt after playing 4 successive dots and he was in desperate search of a big hit. And after numerous plays and misses, he decides to play the shuffle-across-and-scoop but only manages a glove to the keeper. Tanzim Hasan Sakib bowled it a bit short and got some extra bouce off the deck too. Salman Agha c Litton Das b Tanzim Hasan Sakib 3(9)

Taskin Ahmed to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, 129ks short and just outside off, Fakhar goes deep inside the crease and heaves the pull in the gap through mid-wicket. He is off to a blazing start is Fakhar Zaman...

Mahedi Hasan to Mohammad Haris, out Caught by Shamim Hossain!! Mahedi Hasan has the last laugh. Drags it short on and around off stump, Haris' eyes lit up as he tried to manufacture a maximum on the leg-side. Played the pull, but ended up dragging it off the inside half of the bat to the fielder at deep mid-wicket. Mohammad Haris c Shamim Hossain b Mahedi Hasan 4(3) [4s-1]

Mahedi Hasan to Mohammad Haris, FOUR, quicker and flatter just outside off, Haris brings out the reverse sweep and manages to time it off the splice of the bat wide of the fielder at short third to his left

Mahedi Hasan to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, slows it up, but the length is on the shorter side. Fakhar gives himself ample room and slashes it in the gap to the right of backward point

Mahedi Hasan to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, Mahedi Hasan goes full and Fakhar is happy to sweep him behind square on the leg side. Placed it in the gap between short fine and square leg...

Taskin Ahmed to Saim Ayub, out Caught by Mustafizur!! Taskin Ahmed is all smiles. Perhaps not the wicket he wanted, but a breakthrough nonetheless. He gives no room to Saim Ayub and bowls it full around leg stump, Ayub crouches slightly and plays the pick-up flick off the pads. Timed it a bit too well, but the placement wasn't great. It goes flat to the right of Fizz at fine leg who takes a tumbling catch with ease. Saim Ayub c Mustafizur b Taskin Ahmed 6(4) [4s-1]

Taskin Ahmed to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, rubbing salt into the wounds now. A very full ball outside off, Fakhar shows full face of the bat and toe-ends the drive straight of mid-off for his second boundary...

Mahedi Hasan to Saim Ayub, FOUR, gets width outside off and Saim Ayub is onto it in a flash! Throws his hands on the cut and beats the chasing fieldsmen from the off-side ring...

Mahedi Hasan to Fakhar Zaman, 1 run, dropped! Soon as he hit that shot, Fakhar dropped his head and decided he was a goner, not to be. He gets a reprieve. It was a quicker slider from Mahedi Hasan, Fakhar went down on one knee to sweep and got a thick top-edge to short fine. Taskin had too much under it and ended up fumbling it quite awkwardly. Got both hands, but couldn't hang on...

Mahedi Hasan to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, just one sighter and bam! Fakhar dances down the wicket, gets close to the pitch of the delivery and thumps Mahedi Hasan straight down the ground for the first boundary of the series...
