Last week was a horrible time for Pakistan in the shortest format as they faced a 2-1 defeat in the three-match T20I series in Bangladesh. Their batting was in question for the first two fixtures as they couldn’t show their skills and firepower in the challenging conditions of spin. It’s not positive news for the Green Brigade, looking at the T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka in just six months. 

Their head coach, Mike Hesson, has shared the roadmap to develop the team’s future. He reckoned that, standing at the eighth position in the rankings, they would need a different style of play to bring depth to the system. Hesson also remarked that the two contrasting pitches gave them key insights before the Asia Cup 2025.

‘Currently sitting 8th in the world, we need to create depth and competition for places as well as play a style of cricket that can give us more consistency over time, especially at key events like the Asia Cup and World Cups. The first 6 games on two contrasting pitches gave us key insights. A young batting group shone with 200+ scores early.’ The former RCB coach expressed in a tweet he shared on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Mike Hesson shares plans to develop Pakistan’s future amid criticism of Bangladesh series defeat

Pakistan took a huge decision by dropping both Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan from the T20I squad. Since their poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2024 in the United States of America and the West Indies, where they couldn’t qualify from the group stage, the selectors have ignored the two veteran batters.

‘Mirpur, which is the lowest-scoring venue in T20I, certainly tested our adaptability, and after struggling early, we fought back and showed an ability to learn with experience. New players stepped up, showing promise and, in some instances, excelling. Specialist Coaches have played a key role in developing bowlers both here and at the NCA.’ The former New Zealand coach revealed.

‘Fielding was a huge step up in the last two matches and was starting to look like an International fielding side. Onwards.’ He added that they look forward to doing well in the Asia Cup, which is expected to take place in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in September 2025.

Pakistan’s woes in the shortest format continue as their side faced an eight-run defeat in the second T20I of the three-match series and now has already lost it by a 2-0 margin with another game to go in Dhaka. In the first game, the Green Brigade couldn’t put enough runs on the board in the first innings, while in the second, they failed to chase down 134 runs and were 15/5 at one point.

However, there is some different news that has arrived regarding the captain, Salman Ali Agha, whose father has displayed his concern for the health of his son after the defeat. His father reckoned that since the defeat in the second game, his beloved son had avoided eating and drinking and had also locked himself in a room.

Salman Ali Agha’s father concerned with his son’s health after Pakistan’s T20I series defeat against Bangladesh

It was nearly the same sort of surface in Dhaka, to which the visiting coach, Mike Hessan, showed his frustration. He felt that it wasn’t an idea track for the shortest format with the spinners coming into the game from the very first over. It was a very slow surface, and batting got tough as the innings progressed.

During the second game, Pakistan restricted the home side to 133 in 20 overs. Apart from Parvez Emon, Jaker Ali, and Mehedi Hassan, no one could get to the double figures. Jaker smashed 55 runs in 48 balls at a strike rate of 114 with one boundary and five sixes. Mehedi drilled 33 runs in 25 balls.

In reply, Pakistan’s top six collected only 18 runs with the best individual score of nine and three ducks. The home side survived Faheem Ashraf, who got 51 runs in 32 balls at a strike rate of 160. They were bundled out for 125 runs in 19.2 overs, which doesn’t provide a strong message just seven months before the T20 World Cup 2026.

Bangladesh cricket team is flying high with back-to-back T20I series wins, as they secured a home bilateral T20I series against Pakistan after winning the thrilling second game on Tuesday night at Mirpur. 

Trailing the three-match T20I away series by 1-0, Pakistan captain Salman Agha chose to field first in the second T20I. After restricting Bangladesh to 133 all out in 20 overs, Pakistan were all out for 125 runs in 19.2 overs, as the hosts Bangladesh have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead with the last match yet to be played.

Bangladesh won their first T20I bilateral series (at least two matches) against Pakistan

It is the first time Bangladesh won a T20I bilateral series against Pakistan, consisting of more than one match. While it was the fifth time Bangladesh won a T20I against Pakistan, it was the first time for them to record a successful defend result against Pakistan in T20I cricket. 

It was the fourth successive T20I win for Bangladesh, who just completed their historic T20I bilateral series win in Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, it was the ninth defeat for Pakistan in their last 10 T20Is outside the home venue, running with a four-match T20I losing streak outside home. 

BAN vs PAK 2nd T20I: Key Performances

Jaker Ali and Mahedi Hasan rescued hosts with the bat

Although Bangladesh had a rough start in the second T20I on Tuesday with the score of 28/4, Jaker Ali and Mahedi Hasan bravely fought to set a challenging target on the tough batting pitch. While Mahedi scored 33 off 25 balls with two fours and two sixes, as Jaker and Mahedi had a 53-run partnership for the fifth wicket, Jaker was present till the last ball of the innings and scored 55 off 48 balls with one four and five sixes. Apart from them, only the opener Parvez Hossain Emon (13) reached the double-digit scores in that innings.

Among the Pakistan bowlers, Salman Mirza (2/17), debutant Ahmed Daniyal (2/23), and Abbas Afridi (2/37) bagged two wickets each. 

Early collapse proved costly for Pakistan

In reply, Pakistan were struggling at 47/7. Only Faheem Ashraf managed to reach the 20-run mark with his fighting 51 off 32 balls with four fours and four sixes. Abbas Afridi (19), Ahmed Daniyal (17), and Khushdil Shah (13) were the other visiting batters with double-digit scores in that innings. As Pakistan scored 17/5 at the end of the powerplay, it ultimately proved as the main point of the game, despite the lower-order batters' desperate fight. 

Among Bangladesh bowlers, Shoriful Islam got three wickets (3/17), while Mahedi Hasan (2/25) and Tanzim Hasan Sakib (2/23) managed to pick up two wickets in the innings.

After just one match, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has again banned bringing food and drinks into the stadium for the second and third T20I matches between Bangladesh and Pakistan. These matches will be held at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on July 22 and 24.

Spectators will not be allowed to carry any food or drinks into the stadium during these two games. In a public notice, the BCB said that the ban is due to "special security concerns."

“For the upcoming 2nd and 3rd T20I matches between Bangladesh and Pakistan, scheduled for July 22 and 24 at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, carrying any kind of food or drink into the venue is strictly not allowed due to security reasons,” the notice said.

Fans Praised BCB’s Food Rule in First Match

In the first T20I on Sunday, BCB allowed fans to bring food and water from outside. Many people were happy. They said food and drinks inside the stadium were too costly. Families felt more comfortable because they could bring their own snacks and water. Fans called it a good step.

BCB Brings Back the Ban After One Game

But after just one match, BCB stopped this rule again. They said it was for security reasons. Some fans also behaved badly, which caused problems.

"This decision caused a lot of chaos yesterday. The security forces asked us to bring the ban back," said BCB’s media head Iftekhar Rahman Mithu. Now fans are unhappy. Many wrote on social media that the board should not use “security reasons” every time. They want better rules that help fans, not full bans.

Fans have started sharing their concerns on social media, asking if "security reasons" are being used as an excuse for everything. They are also requesting the board to find fan-friendly solutions instead of putting blanket bans.

<![CDATA[[WATCH] Comedy of errors as Fakhar Zaman shows anger after hilarious run-out against Bangladesh]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-comedy-of-errors-as-fakhar-zaman-shows-anger-after-hilarious-run-out-against-bangladesh/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-comedy-of-errors-as-fakhar-zaman-shows-anger-after-hilarious-run-out-against-bangladesh/ Mon, 21 Jul 2025 11:34:40 GMT

Pakistan have changed over the years, but their character of getting run out hilariously has still been the same. And during their humiliating seven-wicket defeat during the first of the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh, they faced another instance of a comedy of errors, as their opener, Fakhar Zaman, got run out. 

The incident took place on the third ball of the 12th over of the first innings of the Green Brigade, bowled by Mustafizur Rahman. Khusdil Shah was on strike, and he played a cut short in the point region. The striker rushed onto the bowling end, took a single, and again started to come back for the second. Khusdil took a few steps in taking the second run as Fakhar came with the momentum.

But suddenly, he stopped after taking a few steps, while Fakhar kept running in. Later, he realized that the run won’t get completed. The southpaw stopped in the middle of the crease and looked to get back to the striker’s end. But that was too late for the batter to get back as the wicket-keeper Litton Das had already collected the ball and broken the stumps. Expectedly, Fakhar was not happy, and he left the field angrily.

Bangladesh, coming off a series victory with a 2-1 margin against Sri Lanka in the away series, won the toss and decided to bowl first in Dhaka as they expected to use the slow and dryness of the surface. Fakhar smashed a fine knock of 44 runs in 34 balls at a strike rate of 129.41 before getting run out. Apart from him, none of the batters in the top six got into the double figures.

Khushil got 17 runs in 23 balls while Abbas Afridi collected 22 runs in 24 balls as the tourists ended their innings with 109 runs in 19.3 overs. Mustafizur returned with a fine figure of 2/6 in four overs while Taskin Ahmed picked up three wickets in 3.3 overs for 22 runs. The home side, however, made a fine start in the second innings. Parvez Hossain Emon got an unbeaten knock of 56 runs in 39 balls at a strike rate of over 140.

Towhid Hridoy got a scratchy knock of 36 runs in 37 balls with two fours and as many sixes as they chased down he score with seven wickets in hand and 27 balls to spare.

In-form Bangladesh thrashed Pakistan in their home T20I series opener and set their new record winning margin against Pakistan in T20I cricket after bundling out their opponents to a cheap total. 

Bangladesh captain Litton Das, under whom Bangladesh just won the away three-match T20I series against the hosts Sri Lanka by 2-1, chose to field first after winning the toss in the three-match T20I series opener against Pakistan at Mirpur. While Pakistan were bundled out for only 110 runs in 19.3 overs, the hosts chased down the target in 15.3 overs after losing only three wickets.

Bangladesh recorded their fastest T20I win against Pakistan after bundling them out for lowest total

While Pakistan recorded their lowest completed total against Bangladesh in T20I cricket, Bangladesh recorded their joint largest T20I winning margin (by wickets) against Pakistan and fastest T20I winning margin against Pakistan by winning it with 27 balls remaining. The Tigers' previous fastest T20I win against Pakistan was with 22 balls remaining in the seven-wicket win during the 2015 Mirpur T20I. It was Bangladesh's fourth T20I win against Pakistan.

Pakistan batters were never capable 

From the second over of the innings, Pakistan were losing wickets at regular intervals, as there were no solid partnerships. Apart from the opener Fakhar Zaman, five out of the first six Pakistan batters failed to reach double-digit scores. While Fakhar was the only strong answer for Pakistan, a horrible mix-up with Khushdil Shah ultimately forced the opener to get run out for 44 off 34 balls, where he hit six fours and one six. Meanwhile, Shah (17) and Abbas Afridi (22) were the only other visiting batters to reach double-digit scores in that innings. 

Among the Bangladesh bowlers, Taskin Ahmed got three wickets (3/22), and Mustafizur Rahman was outstanding with two wickets in four overs (2/6)

Bangladesh comfortably won despite early hiccups

In reply, Bangladesh opener Tanzid Hasan (1) and the no.3 batter and skipper Litton Das (1) were dismissed cheaply before the completion of the third over. However, another opener Parvez Hossain Emon and the no.4 batter Towhid Hridoy controlled the innings superbly and made the low T20I chase very comfortable for the hosts. While the opener Emon won the Player of the Match award for his 56 not out off 39 balls with three fours and five sixes, he had a 73-run partnership with Hridoy for the third wicket, who scored 36 off 37 balls with two fours and two sixes. Jake Ali remained not out for 15 runs in 10 balls with three fours.  

Among the Pakistan bowlers, only the debutant Salman Mirza (2/23) and Abbas Afridi (1/16) managed to pick up wickets in the second innings.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced that fans will be allowed to bring food and drinks from outside into the stadium during the upcoming Bangladesh vs Pakistan T20I series. This is a big change from the earlier rules.

BCB confirmed this in a press release, changing the old rule that did not allow outside food in the stadium. According to the press release, fans can now carry food and drinks, but all items will be checked by security.

"Food and beverages from outside will be allowed, but security staff have the right to inspect them. Entry will be given only after proper checking," said the BCB statement.

BCB to Enforce Security Rules Despite Relaxed Food Policy

While the food rules have been relaxed, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has said that strict security rules will still be followed for all other items. Fans must bring their food before entering the stadium, as re-entry will not be allowed once they leave.

List of Banned Items at the Stadium

In the press release, the BCB shared a list of things that fans cannot bring into the stadium or stands:

  1. Firearms
  2. Laser pointers
  3. Flares or fireworks
  4. Matches, lighters, cigarettes
  5. Video cameras or professional DSLR cameras
  6. Flags with poles
  7. Vuvuzelas, mirrors, knives
  8. Canned items or bottles with caps/corks
  9. Glass bottles or whistles
  10. Any other item that security thinks may be dangerous

Strict Action for Unsafe Behaviour

The BCB also said that any item or behaviour that may be risky for players or fans can lead to a person being stopped from entering or removed from the stadium. Security staff will have full power to take this action.

Pakistan goes to Bangladesh for the brief T20 series, and while Pakistan is still the favorite to win, the margin of victory is no longer as clear. After defeating Sri Lanka by 8 wickets with over three overs to spare in the previous T20I, a Bangladesh victory is not out of the question. However, the Pakistani side has nearly every area covered.
