Pakistan national cricket team made a strong comeback in the second ODI against Bangladesh national cricket team by winning the match by 128 runs through the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method. After losing the first game badly, Pakistan bounced back in great style to level the series
.Batting first, Pakistan got a very good start from the opening pair. Sahibzada Farhan and Maaz Sadaqat played really well and built a strong partnership at the start of the innings.
In the middle overs, Salman Ali Agha and Mohammad Rizwan played an important role and held the innings together. Both batters played responsibly and kept the scoreboard moving.
However, the biggest moment of the match came when Salman Ali Agha was involved in a controversial run-out. While standing at the non-striker’s end, he stepped outside the crease and tried to pick the ball to return it to the bowler. But Mehidy Hasan Miraz quickly took the ball and hit the stumps. Agha was out of his crease and was given run out. He looked very shocked and angry after the decision. Many fans criticized the act and said that Bangladesh did not show sportsman spirit.
After that wicket, Pakistan’s lower middle order and tailenders collapsed quickly. Still, Pakistan managed to post a fighting total of 274 runs.
While defending the total, Pakistan’s bowlers started brilliantly. Captain Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Wasim Jr gave early breakthroughs and reduced Bangladesh to 15 for 3.
Rain then interrupted the match and the target was changed to 243 runs under the DLS method. But Pakistan’s bowlers continued their strong performance and completely destroyed the Bangladeshi batting lineup. Bangladesh were finally bowled out for just 114 runs.
