Maaz Sadaqat’s explosive 75 and Salman Agha’s 64 gave Pakistan a fighting total. Rain reduced the chase to 32 overs (DLS target 243). Bangladesh lost early wickets and are now 113/9 — needing an improbable 130 in the final 9 overs. Pakistan are on the verge of levelling the series.
Bangladesh lead 1-0. The decider is scheduled for March 15 at the same venue. A Pakistan win today would make it 1-1 and set up a thrilling finale.
