Pakistan Beat Bangladesh by 128 Runs in Rain-Hit ODI to Level Series

Pakistan staged an impressive comeback to defeat Bangladesh by 128 runs under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method in the second match of the three-match One Day International series at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.

The victory helped Pakistan level the series 1-1, setting up an exciting decider scheduled for Sunday.

After being invited to bat first, Pakistan posted a competitive total of 274 runs in 47.3 overs. Young batter Moaz Sadaqat played a brilliant knock, scoring 75 runs off just 46 balls and leading Pakistan’s batting effort.

Middle-order batter Salman Ali Agha contributed a solid 64 runs, while wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan added 44 runs to strengthen Pakistan’s innings.

Other contributions came from Sahibzada Farhan who scored 31 runs, while Faheem Ashraf made 14 runs. Abdul Samad scored 11 runs, followed by Hussain Talat with nine runs and Shamail Hussain with six runs. Pakistan captain Shaheen Shah Afridi scored three runs, while Mohammad Wasim Jr added one run before the innings concluded.

Rain Changes the Target

Rain interrupted the match during Bangladesh’s chase, forcing officials to revise the target under the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method. Bangladesh were set a revised target of 243 runs in 32 overs.

However, the home side struggled against Pakistan’s disciplined bowling attack and was bowled out for just 114 runs in the 24th over.

Pakistan Bowlers Dominate

Pakistan’s bowlers dominated the contest, with Moaz Sadaqat delivering an outstanding all-round performance by taking three wickets in addition to his match-winning innings.

Fast bowler Haris Rauf also claimed three wickets, putting Bangladesh under pressure early in the chase.

Captain Shaheen Shah Afridi supported the attack by picking up two crucial wickets to help seal the convincing victory for Pakistan.

Series Decider Ahead

With this win, Pakistan has successfully leveled the series at 1-1 after losing the opening match. The final and decisive ODI will determine the series winner and is scheduled to be played on Sunday.

Cricket fans are now eagerly awaiting the decider as both teams prepare for what promises to be a thrilling conclusion to the series.
