Pakistan vs Bangladesh Highlights, 2nd ODI: Pakistan beat Bangladesh to level series 1-1

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd ODI: The Pakistan national cricket team delivered a dominant performance to defeat the Bangladesh national cricket team by 128 runs in the second ODI, levelling the three-match series 1-1 and setting up a decisive final game.

Pakistan posted 274 all out in 47.3 overs after being sent in to bat. The innings was powered by a brilliant knock from Maaz Sadaqat, who smashed 75 off just 46 balls, hitting six fours and five sixes. Salman Agha provided strong support with 64 from 62 deliveries, while Mohammad Rizwan contributed a steady 44, helping Pakistan recover after a few middle-order setbacks.

Bangladesh’s chase began poorly as Pakistan’s pace attack struck early. Captain Shaheen Shah Afridi removed Tanzid Hasan Tamim and Najmul Hossain Shanto, while Mohammad Wasim Jr dismissed Saif Hassan, leaving the hosts at 15 for 3 inside the opening overs.

Soon after, the match was interrupted by thunder, lightning and rain, resulting in a 133-minute delay. When play resumed, the target was revised under the DLS method, with Bangladesh needing 243 runs from 32 overs.

However, Pakistan’s bowlers kept up the pressure. Maaz Sadaqat, already the star with the bat, shone with the ball as well, picking up three key wickets with his left-arm spin. Fast bowler Haris Rauf, who came into the side for Abrar Ahmed, also claimed three wickets to dismantle Bangladesh’s lower order.

The only resistance came from Litton Das, who top-scored with 41, and Towhid Hridoy, who made 28, but once their partnership was broken, Bangladesh’s batting quickly collapsed.

The hosts were eventually bowled out for 114 in 23.3 overs, the same score Pakistan had managed in the first ODI defeat.

Pakistan’s comprehensive win ensures the series is now level at 1-1, with everything to play for in the decider on March 15.

We are all set to resume the contest! Litton Das and Tawhid Hridoy have a huge job as they stride toward the center of the park to restart their inning. Shaheen Afridi will have the ball to finish off his over. So, if we talk about the revised condition, Powerplay 1 will be from 1-7 overs, then Powerplay 2 will be implemented from 8-26 overs, and after that, it will be Powerplay 3 from 27 to 32 overs. Let's play...

20:38 (IST) Mar 13

The players have started their warm-up drills. With a couple of water puddles on the ground, the ground staff needs another 40-45 minutes to get the ground ready. We have an official word now. It's going to be a 32-over chase, and the game will resume at 3.35 pm GMT. The revised target is 243.

20:29 (IST) Mar 13

Game stopped due to : Wet Ground Condition

20:25 (IST) Mar 13

UPDATE - 2.55 pm GMT - The live visual shows the umpires are out in the middle for an inspection and a chat with the ground staff. There is a flurry of activity happening on the ground. The COVERS ARE COMING OFF. For the game to be match-ready, the groundsmen need to remove the couple of water puddles formed, which will take some time. Mike Hesson and Shaheen Afridi join the umpires for a quick conversation.

19:59 (IST) Mar 13

UPDATE - 2.30 pm GMT - The good news is the rain has stopped, but the bad news is the lightning is still around. That is some optimistic news, but for the game to resume, we need the conditions to improve. Also, we have started losing overs as well. Let's hope we get some positive news soon. 

19:38 (IST) Mar 13

UPDATE - 2.08 pm GMT - It’s absolutely bucketing down here in Dhaka. However, there is a 60-minute buffer, which means we will start losing overs if play doesn’t resume by 2.21 pm GMT. Stick with us for more news.

19:16 (IST) Mar 13

Game stopped due to : Rain Stoppage

19:12 (IST) Mar 13

UPDATE - 1.42 pm GMT - Well, there it comes! We were hoping it was just lightning, and we would get to see the action resume, but it has started to drizzle now, and slowly its picking up pace. However, the forecast isn't showing any signs of rain, so let's cross fingers and hope that it's just a passing shower.

18:51 (IST) Mar 13

UPDATE - 1.20 pm GMT - Just as we were saying that it's not a major issue, the umpires have made a decision and asked the players to walk off the field due to lightning. Shaheen Afridi and his team are not happy as they are on top of this game, but the umpire explained that the players' safety is their first priority. The covers also come on as a safety measure if it starts to rain. Stay tuned for further updates. 

18:50 (IST) Mar 13

Game stopped due to : Bad Weather Condition

18:48 (IST) Mar 13

Just in - Between the over break, the two umpires had a chat as there's a lot of breeze going on and also there has been some lightning around the stadium. For now, it's not a major problem to pause the game. Also, the visuals show Hussain Talat being stretchered off with an arm sling on his left hand. We wish him a speedy recovery.

Litton Das gets on top of the bounce and punches it with sweet timing through cover-point. Hussain Talat chases after it and tries to flick it back inside, but his foot touches the ropes when he is in contact with the ball. It is a boundary, but the bigger concern is that Talat has tumbled over and has jammed his left shoulder onto the ground. He has not moved, and the physio is having a look at him. Hopefully, it is nothing serious.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Highlights, 2nd ODI: The Pakistan national cricket team bounced back strongly in the second ODI, defeating the Bangladesh national cricket team by 128 runs to level the three-match series 1-1.

Pakistan first posted 274 all out in 47.3 overs, thanks largely to an explosive 75 off 46 balls from Maaz Sadaqat and a solid 64 from Salman Agha. Wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan also chipped in with 44, helping Pakistan build a competitive total after being put in to bat.

Bangladesh’s chase was disrupted early as Pakistan’s fast bowlers struck quickly. Captain Shaheen Shah Afridi set the tone by dismissing Tanzid Hasan Tamim and Najmul Hossain Shanto, while Mohammad Wasim Jr removed Saif Hassan, leaving the hosts struggling inside the powerplay.

Thunder, lightning and heavy rain then halted the match for over two hours, forcing officials to reduce the second innings to 32 overs with a revised DLS target of 243.

When play resumed, Pakistan’s bowlers dominated. Maaz Sadaqat produced an impressive spell of left-arm spin to claim three wickets, capping off an excellent all-round performance. Haris Rauf, who replaced Abrar Ahmed in the XI, also picked up three wickets.

Despite some resistance from Litton Das (41) and Towhid Hridoy (28), Bangladesh collapsed to 114 all out in 23.3 overs.

The comprehensive victory sets up an exciting series decider on March 15.
