🏏Asia Cup 2023: M7: Super 4: PAK vs BD in Lahore today at 3PM IST 🏏 - Page 34

4 wickets for Haris Rauf, 3 for Naseem Shah, 1 for Shaheen Afridi - on a pitch which is as flat as they come. Stop these pacers if you can!! Bangladesh were rattled in the powerplay as Naseem and Shaheen started the procession. Then Haris Rauf picked two in his first two overs, leaving the visitors at 47/4. Bangladesh rebuilt through Shakib Al Hasan and Rahim, as the two experienced heads stood up getting fifties apiece. They took advantage of Pakistan's tepid middle overs bowling, however Shakib holed out in the deep. Post that wicket, Rahim was running out of partners and he too was dismissed trying to play a rash shot. Pakistan cleaned up the last four wickets in a span of 8 balls. 194 should be an easy chase for their batters, but let's see how the game proceeds...

At one stage, I expected them to score 250+ , even after losing four quick wickets, they stabilized the innings, but after losing all the wickets in quick succession, they put a meager total on the board.

They started with good runrate, Even after loosing early wickets, they were playing smoothly. 220+ toh pakka lag rahy thy

Pakistan's innings about to commence.

The tail enders of Bangladesh need to learn some batting.Just because they are bowlers doesn't mean that they shouldn't know batting.This is the only team I have seen which has such tail enders.

Bangladesh's innings: 47/4 --> 100-run partnership --> 46/6! Is this going to be a cakewalk for Pakistan? Well, both captains expected the ball to do a bit under lights. Pakistan's pacers picked nine out of the ten wickets, let's find out how their counterparts go about their business. The players have taken their respective positions. Here's Taskin with one slip in place....

Fakhar Zaman and Imam are at the crease. Fakhar Zaman is on strike. Taskin Ahmed will open the attack

0.3 Taskin Ahmed to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, full and swinging in on leg, Fakhar Zaman flicks it away to get off the mark. Slightly moves leg-side to send it in front of square on the leg-side

0.6 Taskin Ahmed to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, 139kph, straying onto the pads and Fakhar Zaman flicks it away to collect his second boundary. Fine leg runs across and dives to his right but fails to stop the four
