Rumman: "Again BD showed their incompetence in planning the innings, The don't have a power hitter like Russell, so keeping wk and hoping to increase RR in death overs is not for them. They have to play constantly over the 20 overs and by now they should have understood that, but Alas!!!"

Ahmad: "Par score but if they can get babar azam quickly then it will be more interesting. "

Naveed: "Babar looking good in the captaincy role with his bowlers backing him up very well; good performance from Pakistans bowlers."

3:38pm Pakistan won't mind this target. It is the lowest first-innings score in a T20I at this ground. Not the easiest pitch for strokeplay, but there was never any urgency from Bangladesh. When they attempted it, they lost two set batsmen in consecutive deliveries. Two of the five wickets were also run out, which won't please them. Imad Wasim and Shaheen racked up the dot balls in the Poweprlay and Shadab was tidy towards the end of his spell. An impressive start for Rauf as well, although he was taken for a couple of boundaries at the end. The positive for Bangladesh is that this pitch won't change too much, since it is a day game. They will still have some of the dryness and slow nature that they encountered when batting. Can they make use of it?

Muhammad Awais: "Why was Soumya sent in at 6? He is a touch player and great exponent of powerplay overs, no wonder he found it difficult in death overs."

Naveed: "Those two wickets in a row would be hurting Bangladesh right about this moment, both batsmen were quite settled"
