Bangladesh's veteran seamer Mustafizur Rahman delivered a historic and miserly spell to help Bangladesh bowl out Pakistan for just 110 runs in the first T20I at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Sunday, July 20.The left-arm pacer conceded just six runs in his four overs, setting a new record for the most economical four-over spell by a Bangladeshi bowler in T20I history. He also picked up two crucial wickets, surpassing India's Jasprit Bumrah, who gave away seven runs for three wickets against Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup 2024.Mustafizur's remarkable bowling began in the fifth over of the innings when he dismissed Hasan Nawaz for just one run. Returning for the 11th over, he allowed only two runs and was involved in the run out of Fakhar Zaman. In his next two overs, he conceded just three more runs, claiming the wicket of Khushdil Shah and wrapping up with figures of 4-0-6-2.Rahman recently surpassed England spinner Adil Rashid to become the fifth-highest wicket-taker in T20 internationals. He achieved this feat in his outing against Sri Lanka in Colombo on July 16. Rahman has 136 wickets in 109 outings at an average of 21.33 and an economy of 7.42 in T20 internationals.Bangladesh opted to bowl first and their pace attack tore through Pakistan's batting lineup. Taskin Ahmed supported Mustafizur with figures of 3.3-0-22-3, while Mahedi Hasan and Tanzim Hasan Sakib chipped in with one wicket each. Pakistan also suffered three run-outs, further compounding their struggles.This was the first time Bangladesh bowled out Pakistan in a T20I match, and 110 is now Pakistan's lowest total against Bangladesh in the format, breaking their previous low of 127/5 at the same venue in 2021.Sent in to bat, Pakistan's innings unraveled early. They lost half their side for just 46 runs within eight overs. Top-order batters Saim Ayub (6), Mohammad Haris (4), and skipper Salman Agha (3) fell cheaply. Hasan Nawaz was dismissed for a duck, and Mohammad Nawaz managed just 3 runs.Fakhar Zaman was the lone bright spot, scoring 44 off 34 balls with six fours and a six. He was eventually run out after a miscommunication with Khushdil Shah. Shah (17) and Abbas Afridi (22) put up a brief resistance, adding 33 runs for the seventh wicket, but couldn't prevent a collapse.Bangladesh: Parvez Hossain Emon, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Litton Das (c & wk), Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Jaker Ali, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur RahmanPakistan: Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Haris (wk), Hasan Nawaz, Salman Agha (c), Mohammad Nawaz, Khushdil Shah, Faheem Ashraf, Abbas Afridi, Salman Mirza, Abrar Ahmed

BAN vs PAK 3rd T20I: Pakistan end losing streak with commanding win over Bangladesh
Faheem Ashraf got his three-for within the powerplay. (PIC - X) New Delhi: Pakistan's cricket team finally got a victory on the Bangladesh tour. The Pakistani team defeated the host Bangladesh by 74 runs in the third T20. With this victory, Pakistan avoided a hat-trick of defeats but could not save the series. What happened in the last two T20I matches? Bangladesh, which won the first two T20 matches, won the series 2-1. This tour of the Pakistani team to Bangladesh was very short. 3 matches were played out of 5 matches between the two teams. Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by 7 wickets in the first match and by 8 runs in the second match. How did Pakistan perform in the match? The third and final match of the three-match T20 series between Pakistan and Bangladesh was played in Dhaka on Thursday. Batting first in this match, Pakistan scored 178 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. Opener Sahibzada Farhan scored the highest 61 runs from their side. He hit 6 fours and 5 sixes in his 41-ball innings. Sahibzada was chosen as the Player of the Match for this performance. Sahibzada Farhan got good support from his partner, Hasan Nawaz. Hasan Nawaz played a beautiful innings of 33 runs in 17 balls. Mohammad Nawaz scored 27 runs in 16 balls. Saim Ayub contributed 21 runs and captain Salman Agha contributed 12 runs. Taskin Ahmed took the maximum number of three wickets for Bangladesh. How did Bangladesh batters perform? Bangladesh mostly has slow pitches, so the target of 179 runs was not going to be easy for the host team. Pakistani bowlers performed brilliantly and made this target even more difficult. Bangladesh batsmen failed miserably in this match. Mohammad Saifuddin was the only batsman who scored more than 10 runs. The rest of the batsmen scored 10 or less runs. As a result, the entire Bangladesh team was all out after scoring 104 runs in 16.4 overs.
