Cricket fans were left stunned.
In a match that was supposed to be a thriller, Pakistan collapsed like a house of cards, getting bowled out for just 110 runs — their lowest-ever T20I total against Bangladesh. Dhaka’s Sher-e-Bangla Stadium witnessed history, but not the kind Pakistan would want in the record booksWhat Went Wrong?
From the first over, something felt… off.
Pakistan’s top order looked nervous, unsure. Saim Ayub, Mohammad Haris, and even skipper Agha Salman walked back early. The scoreboard moved slower than a Test match on a rainy day. The middle order? Non-existent. Only Fakhar Zaman (44 off 34) showed some fight — but one man can’t build an innings alone.
And just like that, Pakistan were all out for 110 in 19.3 overs.
Bangladesh Bowlers — Take a Bow!
Bangladesh’s bowlers were ruthless. This wasn’t just a good bowling performance — it was domination.
-
Taskin Ahmed was fiery as ever with 3 wickets.
-
Mustafizur Rahman, the Fizz, choked the scoring with figures of 2 for 6.
-
And the fielding? Razor-sharp.
The whole team looked charged — like they had a point to prove. And prove it they did.
A Record Pakistan Didn't Want
Let’s put it into perspective:
📉 This is Pakistan’s lowest T20I score against Bangladesh.
📉 They’ve never been bowled out in a T20I by Bangladesh — until now.
📉 And they now trail 1–0 in the series, with confidence shaken
Bangladesh’s Chase — Calm, Composed, Clinical
With only 111 to chase, Bangladesh kept their cool.
Parvez Hossain Emon played a mature knock — an unbeaten 56 off 39 balls — guiding his side home with 7 wickets and 4.3 overs to spare. He had support from Towhid Hridoy (36), and together, they made sure there were no hiccups.
Fans React
The cricket world couldn’t believe what they saw:
“This doesn’t look like the same Pakistan that played so well last month.”
“Bangladesh bowling attack 🔥🔥🔥 Total domination.”
“Pak collapse is getting too familiar now. Something has to change.”
Twitter, Reddit, and stadium stands were buzzing — and not in Pakistan’s favor.
So What’s Next?
Pakistan now finds itself at a crossroads:
-
Can their batting lineup recover before the second T20I on July 22?
-
Will Bangladesh continue their red-hot form and seal the series?
One thing’s certain — this loss will sting. It wasn’t just a defeat. It was a humiliation.
